Is a Move to Belize Worth Considering?

Paid Contribution: Why do so many Americans want to move overseas when they retire? Researchers have identified five major reasons: Weather, lifestyle change, less expensive real estate, tax breaks and retirement incentives. What stops people from taking this step? In many cases, distance is a barrier and not all seniors are eager to learn another language at a time when their brains are more focused on enjoying the fruits of their labor.

Happily, there is one nation that checks all of these boxes: Belize. Just hours away from the U.S., Belize’s primary language is English. Further, proximity to the Equator means warm weather year round and Belize’s relaxed lifestyle is exactly what stressed-out northerners crave. Add unique tax incentives and benefits and retiring in Belize has made the nation one of the top destinations for North American seniors.

Big country/small country? It’s both

At around 8,867 square miles in size and just hours by plane from southern U.S. cities, Belize offers a lifestyle that is packed with things to do, see and experience, yet none of them require much travel time. Interested retirees seeking a home that’s centrally located couldn’t find a community more desirable than Carmelita Gardens, an idyllic off-grid, independent, safe, peaceful, well-established community.

Developed to North American standards by an American ex-pat, Carmelita Gardens is the definition of sustainable riverfront living. The community, established in the Cayo District, sprawls along 98 acres and it has been growing steadily since it was founded in 2010. Carmelita Gardens is not only a feast for the eyes but a development built on an “independent together” foundation. Newcomers set their own standards for how they want to live, a factor often missing from North American retirement villages.

Expect the unexpected

American retirees eager to relocate to a land offering a less stressful, more affordable lifestyle are flocking to Carmelita Gardens for fact-finding tours and even skeptics agree that no comparable community exists that is also this affordable. Self-sufficiency is elevated to an art and homes feature solar power, rainwater harvesting systems and organic gardening opportunities.
