Cons of Living in Guam<\/h2>\n<p>Every place has its positives and negatives, and the island of Guam is no different. Before you make the move, it&#8217;s important to weigh both the pros and cons so you can relocate to Guam with confidence.<\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-size: 30px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">Pro: It&#8217;s Easy for U.S. Citizens to Make the Move<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p>Because Guam is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dewittguam.com\/an-independent-territory-guams-american-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. territory<\/a>, U.S. citizens and permanent residents can live and work in Guam without any special paperwork. Additionally, the island operates on the U.S. dollar, so there&#8217;s no need to worry about currency exchange rates.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 30px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\"><i>Con: Guam Residents Can&#8217;t Vote for President<\/i><\/h3>\n<p>Guam residents can elect local officials, and they&#8217;re also represented by a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. However, like residents of other U.S. territories, Guam does not have any electoral votes, so the residents of Guam don&#8217;t get the opportunity to vote in the U.S. presidential election.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 30px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\"><i>Pro: A Gorgeous Climate Year-Round<\/i><\/h3>\n<p>If warm, tropical breezes and plenty of sunshine sound like your kind of weather, you&#8217;ll love living in Guam. No more winters, no more snow shovels, and no more heavy coats.<\/p>\n<p>While you will experience a rainy season on Guam from July\u2013November, the year-round temperatures very rarely dip lower than the 70s.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 30px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\"><i>Con: The Cost of Living Is High<\/i><\/h3>\n<p>Island life is rarely cheap, and Guam is no exception.

Each village has its own unique features, as well as its own mayor and Catholic Church. As you do your research, make sure you look at a number of different villages so you can figure out the right fit for you\u2014and any other family members you&#8217;ll be bringing with you.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we&#8217;ll highlight a few to kick off your research:<\/p>\n<p><i>Barrigada:<\/i> This village&#8217;s central location, easy access to shopping amenities, four schools, and proximity to routes 8, 10 and, 16 make this residential area a popular one.<\/p>\n<p><i>Tamuning:<\/i> If you love being right in the center of activity, Tamuning could be the place for you. You&#8217;re practically minutes from restaurants, bars, shopping malls\u2014even the airport. However, if you crave something a little quieter, consider\u2026<\/p>\n<p><i>Talo&#8217;fo&#8217;fo&#8217; (formerly Talofofo): <\/i>This village&#8217;s nickname, &#8220;God&#8217;s country,&#8221; will give you a good idea what to expect in this village: quiet days and nights, gorgeous scenery, and friendly neighbors. It might take you 30 minutes or more to get to work or run errands in Tamuning, but if you&#8217;re looking for a laid-back island lifestyle, Talofofo could be the right spot for you.<\/p>\n<p>Sinajana: If you&#8217;re moving with your family, Sinajana is worth a look. Because you&#8217;re located right near Hag\u00e5t\u00f1a, the island&#8217;s capital, you&#8217;re just minutes away from stores, restaurants, and other amenities. However, because you&#8217;re slightly removed from the hustle and bustle, you&#8217;ll still enjoy some peace and quiet, as well as two schools and the sports facilities at Sinajana Community Center.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-13 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-18 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--awb-bg-color-hover:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-20\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:25px;\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 30px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\"><i>Where Are the Best Places to Live in Guam?<\/i><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We&#8217;ll give you our ten favorite spots on Guam so you can find the perfect spot for you.
