If you are thinking about relocating and investing in a new home in Belize, then it is a must to look at the advantages of living in northern Belize.

A great place to retire and get off the beaten path, Northern Belize offers a diversity of nature, history and culture than any other district in Belize. In fact, when you take a close look at the benefits that the region provides, you may decide that this is the ideal place to call home.

The Climate
Throughout all of Belize, you can enjoy pleasant tropical climate. Sitting very close to the equator and along the coast, you can expect mild to warm temperatures throughout the year. However, the climate in the northern region of the country is somewhat unique in that it has lower average rainfall per year than the coastal areas. This means more days of radiant sunshine and beautiful blue skies than you will have if you invest in a home in the southern region of Belize. In addition, the geographic features and the proximity of the area to the coast make the northern region more protected from tropical storms and hurricanes.

The Landscape
When you choose to purchase real estate in northern Belize, you will still be able to purchase a home on or close to the beach. The beaches in northern Belize are gorgeous with the same tropical blue water as you will find in Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker. While you can enjoy proximity to the beach, you can also enjoy being close to major cities like Corozal and Quintana Roo and Chetumal in Mexico. Because of this, you can enjoy the relaxed experience of beach life without sacrificing the comforts and conveniences available in the big city.

Proximity to Conveniences and Services in Chetumal, Mexico

Chetumal is the largest major city in the Mexico-Belize Border, and many of the most beautiful yet affordable properties along the coast in northern Belize lie within a 20 minute drive to Chetumal.

Chetumal is the Miami of Belize, and it is rich with culture, employment opportunities and entertainment. You can also find great shopping, a large international airport that makes traveling a breeze and affordable healthcare services from some of the best doctors and hospitals in the country. More than that, you can enjoy all of this without the overbearing feeling of a big government environment.
