Why Live In Belize

Belize is a laid-back, friendly, and English-speaking country on the northeastern coast of Central America. It borders Mexico to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Guatemala to the west and south. 

Belize has a tropical climate with pronounced wet and dry seasons. 

A number of kindergartens, secondary, and tertiary schools in Belize provide quality education for students—mostly funded by the government. 

Food is similar to both Mexican/Central American cuisine and Jamaican/Anglo-Caribbean with Belizean touches. 

The major sports played are football, basketball, volleyball, and cycling. Other sports you will find here include boat racing, softball, cricket, rugby, and netball. Fishing is also popular in coastal areas of Belize. 

The national flower is the black orchid and the national bird is the keel-billed toucan. 

Home buyers and/or investors will find that real estate prices are still reasonable. It is an easy two-hour flight to Belize from the U.S., with regular flights from Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Miami.  Many of the details described above came from Wikipedia. Find out more about Belize HERE.
