What do people like (and dislike) about Belize City?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Belize City, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Belize City, often like the laid-back lifestyle, friendly locals, and the diverse culture that the city offers. They appreciate the low cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. The beautiful natural surroundings, including the Caribbean Sea, beaches, and nearby islands, provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation. The English-speaking population is another advantage for expats and digital nomads, as it makes communication and integration into the local community easier. Belize City also serves as a gateway to other parts of Belize, making it convenient for those who want to explore the country's natural beauty and archaeological sites. However, there are also some aspects of living in Belize City that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The city has a high crime rate, which can be a concern for personal safety. Infrastructure and public services are not as developed as in other countries, which can lead to issues with unreliable internet, power outages, and limited healthcare facilities. The hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for some, especially during the rainy season when mosquitoes and other insects are more prevalent. Additionally, the job market in Belize City is limited, which may make it difficult for expats and digital nomads to find local employment or freelance opportunities. Lastly, while the city offers a variety of local cuisine, the options for international or diverse food choices may be limited, which could be a downside for those who enjoy a wide range of culinary experiences," remarked another expat in Belize City, Belize.
