Retirement Havens for the Intrepid
By ANDREA PETERSEN

Add this to the gift list for new retirees: a Spanish-English
dictionary. As legions of baby boomers prepare to retire
and relocate to warmer climates, a widening range of
Central American countries are vying to be their new
home.
While places like Costa Rica, Mexico and Belize have
long lured U.S. retirees with pristine beaches and
cheap living, prices in those countries have risen
sharply during recent years. As a result, a new breed
of intrepid retirees is branching out to countries
including Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua. These countries,
in turn, are rolling out the welcome mat in an attempt
to snare Americans' retirement dollars.
In Panama, the hilltop town of Boquete now has a population
of about 300 American retirees. Dozens live in the
new real-estate development, Valle Escondido, which
has a nine-hole golf course, high-speed Internet access,
and a 24-hour manned security gate. On the island of
Roatan in Honduras, retirees have snapped up beachfront
property and are taking advantage of "pensionado" visas
that allow noncitizens to live in Honduras income-tax-free
if they can prove they have income of $1,500 a month.

condo in Florida. Read
