What is the average cost of housing in Trinidad & Tobago?
If you are thinking about moving to Trinidad & Tobago, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...
"Housing is higher here then in Canada, but there is less land here and that is expensive," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
"Lower. If you want the false security of where expats live (and thus to me, a target for when SHTF) you are going to pay crazy high prices because Trinis rent these houses to corporations and get big money from them. If you live in a nice community without expats in Trinidad, it is much more reasonable. My house is $2,800US with 5 bedroom, 5 bath, all stainless kitchen, pool, jacuzzi, view and I'm right by Chaguaramus, beaches, and town. The one road in and out sucks but nothing is perfect. PS - my electric bill per month is the equivalent of $150US - I paid $350 a month in the summer to cool my ranch house in the US!!," commented one expat who made the move to Carenage, Trinidad & Tobago.
