Pros and Cons of Living in Nassau

"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Nassau, due to its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and friendly locals. They appreciate the laid-back island lifestyle, which offers a relaxing environment to work and live. The proximity to the United States is also a plus, making it easy to travel back and forth for business or personal reasons. Additionally, the Bahamas has a relatively low crime rate, making it a safe place to live. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the high cost of living in Nassau, as housing, groceries, and other expenses can be quite expensive. The limited availability of certain goods and services can also be frustrating, as well as the slow pace of life, which may not suit everyone. The island's infrastructure, such as internet connectivity, can be unreliable at times, which can be challenging for digital nomads who rely on a stable connection for work. Lastly, the hurricane season can be a concern for some, as it may cause disruptions to daily life and potential property damage," explained one expat living in Nassau.
