Is the cost of living in Harbour Island high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Harbour Island, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Harbour Island is considered to be relatively high compared to other regions. This is largely due to the fact that most goods and services have to be imported, which increases their cost. Housing is also quite expensive, especially for waterfront properties or homes with ocean views. Groceries are also more costly than in many other places due to import costs. Eating out in restaurants can also be quite pricey, especially in high-end establishments. Utilities such as electricity and water are also more expensive than in many other regions. Despite these costs, many people find the island's natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle to be worth the expense," remarked one expat in Harbour Island.
