Thomas Talks About Living in El Cangrejo in Panama City, Panama

In this video, Thomas shares his experiences of moving to Panama and living in the El Cangrejo neighborhood of Panama City, Panama.
El Cangrejo is known for its vibrant nightlife, with hip bars, laid-back brewpubs and busy casinos, many clustered around Via Argentina street. Upscale global eateries, smart cafes and laid-back coffee shops dot the area, along with shopping malls selling mainstream fashion. Leafy Andres Bello Park attracts joggers and walkers, while a small green square nearby is dominated by a sculpture of Albert Einstein’s head.

My electric bill here in the Pacific Northwest was $161 a month and has been that for the last 18 months. I was notified that beginning this month it will be $225 per month. I live alone. I keep the temperature between 71 to 74 all year long. I have a small fish tank(50 gal). And I have a PHEV. Nothing has changed. It is getting harder and harder to afford to live in the US. I’m scheduled for the Panama Relocation Tour in mid-December

I also love El Cangrejo. No car needed. We walk to Price Smart, several grocery stores, restaurants, dentist, doctor, university for Spanish class, produce stand (Donde Arvey). We Uber to places further away. Metro is nearby, both Via Espana and El Carmen stations. $0,35 will get you to Albrook mall on the Metro, 24 cents if you use a jubilado discount. Our rent is half what we paid in California and it gets us a high rise 3 bed 3.5 bath on a high floor with view of city AND sea. Our highest electric bill was $46 following a heat wave. Typically it has been $24 as we keep our windows open throughout the 1750 sft condo. I have used an expat health service twice for home visits with English speaking doctors. Cost was about $56. Pinch me, I still say after 6 months in PC.

Excellent choice ! I was born and raised there. Here in Maryland, rent alone is going for $1800 and up ! That loft design is a steal. Congratulations! And enjoy ! Panama is a great choice 🔥

Meanwhile, in Manhattan, the least expensive rental is about $2000 per month for just a 1 room studio 🤯

Panama City is exactly where I want to be when I move there! I miss the city life. I was born and raised in New York City, but I've lived in rural/suburban Pennsylvania for the past 20 years! City life is calling me back! Great video, and I hope I'll have a great experience to share as well!

The Crab is so named for the way the streets curve around from both sides of the "body" of the crab which is Via Argentina.

Great video! Thomas is very well spoken and shares valuable information. Nice to see more people in PTY being featured.

Parque Omar is the best! I used to walk around it nearly every day when I lived nearby there!

[@lindagm9332]

This is a great interview about the El Cangrejo area of Panama! I love visiting this area for dining or just hanging out at the park. For us, the PRT guide continues to be an accurate source of information because they constantly update it. Good job!
