I'm thinking a small city/large town. I'd like to be able to walk to the Post Office, church, somewhere to pick up a loaf of bread and a jug of milk. Public transportation would be nice.
|
Belize only has a handful of towns in the whole country, and only ONE city.
my post office, church, and store are walking distance from my house.
HUGE vegetable market is 10 min away, on hwy.
public transport? pretty good, and VERY cheap, only $1.50 to go to veggie market!

Low crime rate, and low housing cost would also be a plus.
How am I doing? Do you recognize your neighborhood yet as my "dream home", or do you need more details? 
|
housing costs? VERY low...
crime rate? VERY low, except in Belize City.
okay, add 'em up...
guess Belize only scores about 50% on the "B2Y Dream Scale"
