Best rent until you get the lay of the land. You can live/drive there for 3 months with a US driver's license.  I lived there for 1 year and there are many sub-cultures there. It all depends on what you like. There is just too much diversity from one place to another to give you the info you are requesting. If you are OK with the warmer weather, then Los Santos is nice and generally safe. If you need cooler weather, then I recommend Volcan or El Valle Anton. Remember the ocean is only 1 hour or less away no matter where you live. Stay away from Colon or various "red zones" in Panama city unless you fancy getting mugged. Too many variables to consider to give you any real good advice. Ask more specific questions and I will be happy to answer them for you.

Have a place in gated Playa Blanca for 1k a month, top floor overlooking huge pool.  Id agree, plan on 6 monts exploring Panama, playa blanca good middle ground for exploring everything. 

That’s great. I have a house about 57  km from there. Sometimes we visit Farallón or Santa Clara when we are there.  Last year we rented a weekend getaway for my mother-in-law at Playa Blanca. My wife and I have family in Penonome and Panama City. Hope all goes well for you.  I have spent much time in Panama and am familiar with the region. Write me any time you have a question and I’ll do my best to help out.  Jim

We bought two properties in Cerro Azul, about 40 minutes from both PTY airport and Panama City. It’s a beautiful gated community with many European and North American expats and views that are simply spectacular.

There are plenty of common areas and amenities. I first bought a residential lot for $80K and a year later purchased a 4-bedroom house on the same street for $220K. It’s a corner property with 180° views of Panama City and the Pacific Ocean, backing onto Chagres National Park.

It’s an amazing, safe, and very friendly community , definitely worth taking a look at..

good luck

There is one area on Cerro Azul that has a horrible smell from a chicken farm. Other than that, I passed on some really good deals up there due to that, and the fact that up and down the hill is hard on a vehicle. Good luck there; it is a beautiful place.
