🇵🇦 Where to live in Panama City

Panama City's residential areas split roughly into the dense central grid, the bay-front tower corridors, and the planned or former canal-zone districts on the edges. Some, like El Cangrejo and Obarrio, sit within a few minutes' walk of a metro station and mix homes with restaurants and offices. Others, such as Costa del Este and Amador Causeway, are more self-contained and built around water views or corporate blocks.
