What to know

What makes Grenada stand out, and what to watch for

Why expats choose Grenada

Stunning Carenage harbour, no hurricane track in 50 years, and a well-regarded Citizenship by Investment programme; English-speaking with a laid-back lifestyle and St George’s University drawing international students.

Watch out for

The economy is small and import-dependent; reliable high-speed internet is available in town but patchy outside; serious medical cases must travel to Barbados or Trinidad.

Costs vary a lot by city, neighbourhood, and lifestyle — these are directional monthly bands for the main expat city, current as of 2026. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote. Information only, not financial advice.
