Montego Bay is full of life and numerous opportunities. However, it is imperative to note that it is heavily population. Traffic and pollution is a large problem that citizens face daily. In addition to this, crime and violence is on the rise. The city has many attractions and fun things to do; including wonderful restaurants, beaches and amusement parks.

If someone moves to the city which I am currently residing, they should know about the cost of living, the crime rate and required educational qualifications and skills required for obtaining a particular job of interest. They should also know about the different communities and their historical backgrounds.

Montego Bay offers colonial architecture, famously delicious food, and wonderful weather most of the year. While it is paradise, it’s important to note that although homosexuality isn’t prohibited in Montego Bay, the local culture is not particularly accepting and LGBT violence is not unheard of. The city also has issues with gangs and organised violence related to the drug trade, but this rarely affects the expat areas of the island and living in Montego Bay is not normally affected by these types of crime.
