Expats have chosen many places throughout Panama to settle in. It really all comes down to what lifestyle you’re looking for.
For example, if you’re a city person you might be interested in moving to neighborhoods such as El Cangrejo, Avenida Balboa, Paitilla, Albrook, or Clayton.
If you’re looking to live closer to the beach, the City Beaches area is very popular. The most popular town in this area is Coronado, but places like Gorgona are becoming more and more popular.
If you’d like to live someplace with an already very well-established expat community where you can get by with little to no Spanish and a laidback lifestyle, the mountain town of Boquete is the place for you.
