How do I find a place to live in Panama?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"One of the most popular ways to go about finding a place to live in Panama is to contact a real estate agent. Real estate agents have up-to-date databases on listings and can help you find something that fits your needs. Additionally, you can use online property listing services such as Pana Network and Encuentra24 to browse through property listings offered in Panama. You can narrow down your search by location, price, size, or amenities. You may also be able to find available rentals through online expat forums, social media, and other expatriate websites. You may want to consider visiting the location if possible to get a feel for the area and evaluate whether it meets your criteria," said a member in Panama.

"To find a place to live in Panama, it's important to first establish where in the country you'd like to reside. You can choose between the interior parts of the country, such as Chiriquí, Boquete, or Volcán, the capital city with its skyscrapers in Panama City, or enjoy the tranquility of the paradisiacal beaches and islands that Panama offers, such as Isla Colón in Bocas del Toro, the central provinces of Veraguas, Santa Catalina, and other beaches like Chitré and Playa Venado. Once you've decided on your preferred location, you can research available properties online and join expatriate social media groups to get recommendations and rental listings. You can also contact Panama Legal Business for personalized assistance in finding properties that fit your needs and budget. Remember to take your time to find the right place to settle down and find your ideal home," wrote Moises Alvarado N. from Panama Legal Business (PANLEB).
