Roads and infrastructure are modern and well maintained. This not the third world. Panama is a first class nation with first class infrastructure. Because it's a first class nation, low on crime, with a low population density that is also the most wealthy nation in Central America. It is a peaceful place with little or no street crime.
Real estate is at rock bottom prices.
The business arena is one of the most modern in the world. It has a bountiful supply of water, the air is pure and because it is an isthmus there is always a gentle breeze and it never swelters. If you want to live in a perfect place where you can eat breakfast in the Caribbean and have a second cup of coffee one hour later on the Pacific coast there is only one place to do so. There are Caribbean towns where you can buy beach front land and there are mountain towns where you can buy ranches and grow coffee. Panama has it all.
