How do I find a place to live in Jamaica?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"We wanted to be close to the Montego Bay airport so we looked at a few parishes on the west half of the island. Falmouth is up and coming so we selected Falmouth. My husband and I are real estate agents in the US, so we just felt comfortable contacting a real estate agent to find our current house," said a member in Falmouth, Jamaica.
