Belize

Belize sits at the crossroads of Latin America and the Caribbean culture, just south of Cancun on the Caribbean, bordered by Guatemala to the East, and two hours by air from Houston. With just 260,000 inhabitants, Mayan ruins, world-class diving and six distinct cultures in a country the size of Massachusetts, Belize is packed with opportunities for the short- or long-term visitor. Real estate opportunities abound as retirees and second-home buyers seek out the eclectic and colorful flavors of Spanish-Caribbean culture and laid-back way of life in an accessible, tropical, English-speaking paradise.
