What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Saint Lucia?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Saint Lucia is like. They answered...
"It depends on the area and the owner. Some may not have AC or city water or mosquito screens. Some unfurnished. Locals prefer to rent unfurnished to keep prices down. There are several renters in my neighborhood - there are Americans that rent apartments and some that are locals that rent. Prices all all over the place from in the thousands USD for luxury apartments in an expensive area to the low hundreds in USD in lower income areas. I rented my 1 BR apartment that had AC and was newly fully furnished and that only fetched $400 USD a month (city water; no other utilities) because it was not in the "heart of town"," remarked another expat in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia.
"Expat homes and apartments in Saint Lucia typically feature modern amenities and luxurious furnishings. Many expat homes and apartments have stunning views of the Caribbean Sea, as well as access to private beaches and pools. Expat homes and apartments often come with air conditioning, high-speed internet, and modern appliances. Expats can also find homes and apartments with private gardens, balconies, and terraces," said a member in Saint Lucia.
