Is the cost of living in Coban high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Coban, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Coban is relatively low compared to many Western countries. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is affordable, while outside the city center, it is even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water is also quite low. Groceries are inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce at very reasonable prices. Eating out at restaurants is also quite affordable, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant costing less than what one would expect to pay in the United States or Europe. Public transportation is very cheap, and even taxis are quite affordable. However, owning and maintaining a car can be more expensive due to the cost of gasoline and car maintenance. Healthcare is also relatively affordable in Coban, especially when compared to costs in the United States. However, it's important to note that while the cost of living is low, so are local wages. Therefore, what seems cheap to a foreigner might not be so for a local resident. Overall, Coban, Guatemala can be a very affordable place to live, especially for expatriates from Western countries. However, the cost of living can vary greatly depending on one's lifestyle and spending habits," remarked another expat in Coban, Guatemala.
