Willemstad - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Housing is spread around the island with a number of families clustered in a suburban gated community. These tend to be large family style homes with pools. This is a bit of a commute to the consulate through fairly heavy traffic but given Curacao’s size the heaviest of traffic is still only about half an hour. Other residences are more scattered and vary considerably in size and are in gated communities with either personal pools or a community accessible one. Carribean style housing is generally single story. - May 2026
