Warning-real estate in Panama is not what it seems by WarningToAll
We purchased a condo, pre construction, from what we were told to be a reputable and a premium developer [Moderated] of Panama City, Republic of Panama in October of 2006. The project was named Oceanaire, and was supposedly the best amongst the ...
Just an update for those who are interested: first house Villas de Chica almost completed, next 8 being built this year. Campana Villas: first houses being built now. I am at the site at the moment so this is info is actual. Read More
Long term car rental or buy a car?
Hi, I would like to know your opinion if it is better to either rent or buy a car when we need it for about 10 weeks. Renting is relatively expensive so I was wondering if it can be a good option to buy a used car and try to sell it later. We are ... Read More
2 months in Panama - where to stay? by Ravenus
Hello We are looking to relocate from Melbourne, Australia for a few 1-2 month stints next year (3-6 different countries, 1-3 months in each). It's kind of a 'slow travel' project, while I am on maternity leave. One of the places we ...
Hi, Which months are you planning to stay in Panama next year? We are building a house in the mountains of Chicá (20 minutes from the coast of Coronado) at the moment and will stay there till April. There are some cheaper options in that area ... Read More
Coming down in June... by fyrsout
Hello, I'm coming down to Panama in June to look at potential beachfront retirement homes. I am planning on focusing my search around the Coronado area but may extend out to Pedasi. Any suggestions on areas to visit, hotels to stay in, areas ...
If you want to take a look at different locations to see what the country is like, don't forget to take a look at the interior. Close to Coronado there are mountain communties in El Valle, Altos del Maria and Chicá that could be interesting ... Read More

Update Villas de Chicá project: We had some (of the usual) delay, so didn't start contstruction in February. However, we are ready to start building now and the house is expected to be finished before the end of this year. As I understand, ... Read More

Just returned from Panama and promised to give you people an update of the mountain project in Chicá. I talked to the construction company, Aseviviendas, and to people of Panama Portfolio. Everything looks good and on schedule to start building ... Read More

Hi Pills, We didn't buy land in Coco Beach but in the mountain project of Villas de Chica. It's from the same company, Panama Portfolio. About the timeline of this project, construction of the first 5 houses will start in January 2018 ... Read More

Probably one should be very cautious with developers in Panama, reading on internet about experiences people have over there. However, I think it is not fair to think all developers are like this. For me this company is very transparent and I ... Read More

First trip recommendations by Briferg
Hi everyone. I'm making my first trip down to Panama at the end of August to start/explore the friendly nations visa process. Outside of seeing an immigration lawyer and meeting with the bank, I haven't really made any other plans. I will ...
One hour west of Panama City you will find a beautiful mountain area close to Altos de Campana NP. In the town of Chicá there are some new developments being build which might be interesting. Besides relatively close to Panama City it is also ... Read More

Hi all, Newbie on the Panama forum? DonÂ’t know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on ...
Hi Kristen, We also want to move there with 2 small children. Maybe you can take a look at the mountain town of Chicá, about 15 minutes from Coronado and 1 hour from Panama City. Perfect climate (Coronado is too hot for me) and beautiful nature ... Read More
I'm currently looking at the more mountainous areas of Panama by FlaGirl
Hi: My name is Suzan and I am single, semi-retired, and looking to relocate to Panama in the next year. I'm currently looking at the more mountainous areas of Panama and would appreciate ANY helpful information you would care to pass on ...
To know about cost of living in Chica it would be best to contact the company who is going to develop both projects there (Campana Villas and Villas de Chica). I guess it would be somewhere between the popular areas of Coronado and the rural areas. ... Read More

Hi, Don't worry about sunshine, this place gets a lot of sunshine! I only noticed that the higher areas in Altos del Maria are often clouded so I should avoid places higher than 700 metres. Chicà is situated at about 560 metres and very ... Read More

I can confirm what Brummy said about the developers. We have bought land too from the same developer, not in Coco Beach however but in the mountains of Chicá. I checked the company, met de owners and the contracter who is going to build there ... Read More

Thanks for the input. I'm sure the glutenfree paranoia will pass, as already many scientific reports show it is not true. Bread, how it is supposed to be made without additives, sugar and fat remains one of the most healthiest products we can ... Read More
