5 guys in mid-twenties relocating to Bahamas

13 years ago
Hello fellow expats (or prospective expats),

On Tuesday, my friends and I are flying to Nassau, and will set up camp in a hotel for a week. In this time, we will have to figure out some issues.

1. Banking -
What banks are recommended?

What is required in order for an American to open up an account?

2. Neighborhood
We will not have a car, so:

Where can we find a safe 5-6 bedroom home or two 2-3 bedroom homes near each other?

What areas offer proximity (walking distance) to food, stores, beach at a decently-priced rent? ($2,000-4,000 range)

What areas have high population of expats? It would be nice to know we could easily meet other American/European expats.

Who can speak for Freeport or Port Lucaya? Is it worth it to check out these areas for less touristy environment?
