Leogane sits on Haiti's southern coast, a short drive from Port-au-Prince. The 2010 earthquake hit hard here — most buildings were damaged, and reconstruction has been slow. Expect patchy infrastructure and limited services.

This is not a plug-and-play expat destination. Daily life requires patience and adaptability. The coastal location brings humidity and occasional flooding. If you're considering living in Leogane, you need to be comfortable with a DIY approach to most things.

Leogane works for self-sufficient, adventurous types who want to immerse in Haitian culture. It's not for those who need reliable amenities or a predictable daily routine.
