How do I find a place to live in Bimini?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Bimini involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large beachfront villa. Next, you should research the different areas of Bimini to decide where you'd like to live. The island is divided into two main parts: North Bimini and South Bimini. North Bimini is more developed and has a larger population, while South Bimini is quieter and more secluded. Once you've decided on a location and budget, you can start looking for available properties. There are several online real estate platforms that list properties in Bimini, such as Bahamas Realty, Engel & Völkers Bahamas, and Zillow. These websites allow you to filter properties based on your preferences, and provide photos and detailed descriptions of each listing. You can also hire a local real estate agent to help you in your search. They can provide valuable insight into the local market, help negotiate prices, and guide you through the buying or renting process. Once you've found a property you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property in person and ask any questions you may have. If you decide to proceed with a property, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease or purchase agreement. This will include the price, move-in date, and any other conditions. Finally, once the agreement is signed, you can start planning your move to Bimini. This will involve arranging transportation for your belongings, setting up utilities, and familiarizing yourself with your new neighborhood. Remember, moving to a new country involves more than just finding a place to live. You'll also need to consider things like visa requirements, healthcare, and banking. It's important to do your research and plan ahead to ensure a smooth transition," said one person in Bimini.
