We have put together this comprehensive report to detail the areas of Panama City you need to know about to make an informed decision. We have chosen each neighborhood for different reasons, so you’re sure to find a place that’s perfect for you…whether you yearn for the quiet and greenery associated with suburban America or the hustle and bustle of the big city…or something in-between. We’ll tell you all about lifestyle alternatives and real estate prices, and give you our insider tips on saving time and money. We also provide property samples to give you the best possible idea of what it might cost to buy a home in these areas.

If your idea of the perfect Panama includes lush tropical scenery without the heat of the lowlands, head to the highlands to see the other side of Panama. You’ll meet plenty of expats who, like you, left the postcard-perfect beaches behind in search of cooler climes. Though Panama is best known for its city and beaches, the mountain areas do not disappoint and offer a wide variety of activities, property, and lifestyles. In this report you'll discover the best that the Panama Highlands has to offer.

A dripping wet surfer ambles past the cafe's outdoor terrace...you watch him with mild curiosity while sipping a fresh pina colada (made with fruit, not a syrupy mix). Feeling drowsy, you get up and plop yourself in a nearby hammock. In the distance, you can hear the waves crashing and faint reggae...you take one last look around before closing your eyes, appreciating the lush rainforest greenery, bikini-clad beachgoers, and aqua-blue and -green waters. As you drift to sleep, you think: "This is the Panama I envisioned". If your Panama plans call for clear blue waters and long stretches of sandy beaches, you'll be happy to know that there are plenty of places to choose from. Discover them in this report.
