Is the cost of living in Fort-de-France high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Fort-de-France, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Fort-de-France is considered to be relatively high compared to other Caribbean islands. This is largely due to the fact that many goods have to be imported, which increases their price. Housing costs can vary greatly depending on the location and size of the property. Renting a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite expensive, while the same apartment outside of the city center is significantly cheaper. When it comes to groceries, prices are generally high. Imported goods, in particular, can be quite expensive. However, local produce and seafood are usually more affordable. Eating out in Fort-de-France can also be costly, especially in tourist areas and high-end restaurants. However, there are also plenty of more affordable local eateries to choose from. Transportation costs are relatively low, with affordable public transportation options available. However, owning and maintaining a car can be expensive due to high fuel costs and import taxes on vehicles. Overall, while the cost of living in Fort-de-France can be high, it is possible to live more affordably by choosing less expensive housing options, eating at local restaurants, and using public transportation," explained one expat living in Fort-de-France, Martinique.
