What do people like (and dislike) about New Providence?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in New Providence, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in New Providence, often like the beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and pleasant tropical climate that the island offers. They appreciate the friendly and welcoming locals, as well as the vibrant culture and rich history of the Bahamas. The laid-back lifestyle and relaxed pace of life are also attractive to many expats and digital nomads. New Providence offers a variety of outdoor activities, such as snorkeling, diving, fishing, and boating, which are popular among expats and digital nomads. The island also has a relatively low crime rate, making it a safe place to live and work. However, there are also some aspects of living in New Providence that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The cost of living can be quite high, particularly for housing, groceries, and imported goods. The island's infrastructure, such as roads and public transportation, can be lacking in some areas, making it difficult to get around without a car. Additionally, while the island has a stable internet connection, it may not be as fast or reliable as some digital nomads are used to, which can be frustrating for those who rely on the internet for work. The job market can also be competitive, with limited opportunities for expats and digital nomads, especially if they do not have a specialized skill set. Lastly, some expats and digital nomads may find the island's small size and relative isolation to be a drawback, as it can lead to a feeling of being "stuck" or limited in terms of travel and exploration opportunities," said another expat in New Providence, Bahamas.
