"Depends which part of Panama City you live. We chose to buy a new high rise Condo, 100 meters = 1076 sq ft. Plenty of space for 2 bedroom and 2.5 bath. We always dreamed of living in a high-rise condo in the US when we downsized, and this place does not disappoint! 24/7 Front Desk Security. They deliver my mail to my door. High end Gym, Pool, Jacuzzi, Game Room, Paddle Ball, Social area, wine lockers, parking garage, storage locker(I bought it, but it was like $6,500 only). Walking distance to shops. And fiber optic internet. Spanish helps and working on it. Although, just try most locals know a little Spanish. And many of the Expats are from other Latin American Countries, and many of them speak English fine," remarked another expat who made the move to Panama City, Panama.
