"The cost of living in Falmouth is considered to be relatively high compared to other Caribbean islands. This is largely due to the fact that most goods have to be imported, which increases their price. Housing is one of the most significant expenses, with rental prices varying greatly depending on the location and size of the property. Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet are also quite expensive. Food and groceries are also costly, especially for imported goods. Eating out at restaurants can be pricey as well, particularly at tourist-oriented establishments. Transportation costs can add up, with fuel prices being high and public transportation being limited. Owning a car can be expensive due to the high cost of import duties. Healthcare is another significant expense, especially for those without insurance. Private healthcare is available but can be costly. Despite the high cost of living, many people are drawn to Falmouth for its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and friendly community," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Falmouth, Antigua & Barbuda.
