Progresso Heights
Progresso is a town southeast of Corozal. On the way to
Copper Bank, you come to a Tee, and if you take a right, you go towards
Progresso. About a mile before you get to Progresso, you get to a new
development called Progresso Heights which is being aggressively marketed in the
US. (See their website here.)
I am always cynical about land developers (and real estate
salesmen) in Belize. I generally recommend that prospective buyers be sure
to see their plot during the rainy season before they buy. This has not
endeared to developers or RE Agents, as you can understand. But, I have seen a
lot of developments under water!
A number of buyers on www.localgringos.com
(which used to have a chat list called "Gringo Grapevine" ) were asking about PH, and so I went out and took some pictures. It was my
intent to go out during the rainy season and see how the development
fared. Unfortunately, I left Belize before Wilma. just in passing, dumped
10 inches on BelizeNorth. (Certainly not a REAL rain, which usually delivers
12-15 inches a day for several days)
At any rate, I thought I would show you the pictures, and
speculate about what might be flood proof. This is pure speculation, and
of course, you should see for yourself.
The pictures may be slow loading, so I've split them
up.
NEW: If
you're hungry for pictures; you should go here,
to the sales site for Progresso Heights. Unfortunately, it's just lots of
pictures -- no commentary.
NEWER: Here
are some nice pix of a house for rent at Progresso Heights.
