Panama to Retire or just Invest Top 10 reasons to choose Panama Affordable Housing. Panama offers a great variety of high quality housing options in all price ranges, whether you want to buy or rent. Financial Benefits. Besides offering great tax incentives for retirees and investors, the overall cost of living and doing business in Panama is surprisingly low. Political stability. Panama is one of the most stable democratic republics in the Americas and has been a committed U.S. ally since the construction of the Panama Canal in the early 1900's. Economic Opportunity. Panama's economy is experiencing one of the greatest booms in its history. Since the U.S. reversion of the Panama Canal and surrounding military bases, the services sector has been flourishing, especially tourism and maritime activities. Continued robust growth is expected as work begins on a major expansion of the Canal. Healthcare and Health. Panama has state-of-the-art medical facilities and an international class of highly trained physicians and other health care professionals. Moreover, its abundance of nutritious tropical fruits and other farm products (not to mention some of the best drinking water in the world!) will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Safety. The crime rate in Panama is far lower than that in most U.S. cities and other vacation and retirement destinations.
Climate and Environment. Enjoy the warmth and lush vegetation of the tropics all year round---in the city, at the beach, or in the mountains. Panama has more biological diversity than Costa Rica and is dedicated to protecting its natural resources. And in case you're wondering, Panama lies outside the hurricane and earthquake belts.
Lifestyle. Abundant opportunities await the nature-lover, museum-goer, gourmet, sportsperson, and more. Whether you like fishing or birding or hiking, contemporary art or folk art, world-class cuisine or delicious regional dishes, quiet mornings or a vibrant nightlife, Panama has it all.
Language. Because of Panama's historically close ties to the U.S. and because many Panamanians have studied and worked abroad, English is widely spoken. You can also easily find a tutor, or enroll in a local language class if you want to learn Spanish.
Accessibility. Panama City is just 2 1/2 hours by air from Miami, and you find direct flights to several other U.S. cities, too, including Houston, Atlanta, and Newark. Panama is the hub of the Americas for Continental/COPA airlines.
