Moving to Belize?

7 years ago

Hi,

I am considering an offer by a US multinational to work in Belize. I recently relocated back to the US from 5 years in Honduras with a home base in San Pedro Sula and eventually half my time spent in Tegucigalpa. So I understand big city Central American living and the issue of violence and safety and security.

This is a change in companies and they are working through an expat package, with little to no experience. I've done this in 4 different countries in the developing world for a total of 10 years with two different companies that each had a fairly robust expat program.

I am not being flown out to look for housing and it looks like they are going to localize me after I am on the ground for 2 months so that changes the landscape.

Where I live and my security is paramount in a relo line this. I cannot find anything online to help me determine that areas are recommended in terms of housing that is not too far from Belize City.

I am sure the coastal areas and islands are spectacular, but an. It getting the feeling that will be an option for me.

Sorry for he long intro, but if someone has recommendations for help with real estate, finding a good rental and other pertinent information, I would be very greatful..

Thank you in advance.
