Where should I live in Grenada?

We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Grenada is to search online for rental listings. There are a variety of websites that offer listings for apartments, houses, and other types of rental properties in Grenada. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who specialize in Grenada rentals. They can provide you with more information about available properties and help you find the perfect place to live. You can also ask friends and family who live in Grenada for recommendations. They may be able to provide you with information about rental properties that are not listed online," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Grenada.

What do I need to know before moving to Grenada?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Grenada, they said:

"Before retiring in Grenada, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is generally lower than in the United States and other developed countries. Expats should also research the local healthcare system and the availability of medical services. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the climate and weather patterns. It is also important to research the local banking system and the availability of financial services. Finally, expats should be aware of the visa and residency requirements for living in Grenada," said one expat in Grenada.

What do people find most challenging about the culture in Grenada?

"Expats in Grenada often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The pace of life is slower and more relaxed than in many other countries, and the local customs and traditions can be unfamiliar. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for expats, as English is not widely spoken in Grenada. Finally, the cost of living can be higher than in other countries, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Grenada.

What residency documents or visas did I need if I will be in Grenada for a while?

"If you plan to stay in Grenada for an extended period of time, you will need to apply for a residency visa. Depending on your nationality, you may also need to obtain a work permit or other documents in order to legally stay in the country. Additionally, you may need to provide proof of sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay," said one expat who made the move to Grenada.
