What is it like to retire in Hillsborough?

"Life for a retiree in Hillsborough, and its surroundings can be quite serene and fulfilling. The town is known for its laid-back lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and warm, tropical climate, making it an ideal location for retirees seeking a peaceful and relaxing environment. There is a growing expat community in Grenada, including in Hillsborough, with many retirees from the US, Canada, and Europe. This community often organizes social events and activities, providing opportunities for retirees to socialize and make new friends. Cultural attractions in and around Hillsborough include historical sites, local markets, and festivals. The town is rich in history, with several colonial-era buildings and landmarks. The local markets offer a variety of fresh produce, local crafts, and traditional Grenadian food. Festivals such as the annual Carnival and the Grenada Chocolate Festival provide opportunities to immerse oneself in the local culture. Recreational activities are abundant in Hillsborough and its surroundings. The beautiful beaches offer opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Hiking trails are available for those who enjoy nature walks, and the nearby marine reserves are perfect for scuba diving and exploring the underwater world. Nightlife in Hillsborough is relatively quiet compared to larger cities, but there are a few local bars and restaurants where retirees can enjoy a meal, a drink, and sometimes live music. The town is also a short drive away from St. George's, the capital of Grenada, which offers a wider range of nightlife options. Overall, life for a retiree in Hillsborough, Grenada, can be a mix of relaxation, social activities, cultural immersion, and outdoor adventures," explained one retiree living in Hillsborough.
