  • What are the cheapest Caribbean islands to live in? Can you live on $1,500 or less per month in the Caribbean?
    This video will answer those questions and much more, and guess what, you will be shocked when you see which island is at no1.
    The Caribbean is made up of more than 700 islands, reefs, and cays, which are organized into 30 territories including sovereign states, overseas departments, and dependencies. Many of these territories speak English, French, Spanish, or a local Creole dialect but the question remains is which one is more affordable for visitors?

    I say, buy a piece of land, it doesn't have to be acreage. A fair size lot is enough to grow your own and go off grid on your choice of island.

      If you are only looking in kingston then ultimately, it will be more expensive especially if you are looking in the more affluent areas. If you widen out a bit, you will find more affordable accommodation.

    Encourageing foreigners to move to your country makes life much more expensive for the natives. Cost of living goes up, rentals and buying homes become more unatainable, restaurants and supermarkets become more expensive because they start to only cater to the foreign pockets, no no no not good.😑😑

The ABC islands are generally very expensive compared to the windward islands. Dominica is great when you like fruits and vegetables but Grenada offer basically nothing home grown.
