What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Panama?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Panama is like. They answered...
"Very few homes in El Valle have air conditioning because it is generally not necessary here. The elevation of the mountains makes El Valle a bit cooler than coastal locations. Also we have very few, if any, gated communities here. Most homes are privately owned in residential areas. I hope this is helpful," remarked another expat who made the move to El Valle de Anton, Panama.
"Homes in Boquete range from quite rustic Panamanian style homes to large luxury homes. It all depends on your desires and budget! Most homes in Panama are concrete block construction. I will disagree with the previous poster, most homes in Boquete do not have either AC or heat, as it is not needed due to the stable and comfortable air temperature. As you drive from Boquete to David it get significantly hotter and AC would be highly desirable in those areas. See homes at https://casasolution.com," explained one expat living in Boquete, Panama.
