"True Blue is a popular area for expats in Grenada, particularly those associated with St. George's University. The official language is English, but you may hear locals speaking Grenadian Creole. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are widely accepted. The cost of living in True Blue can be higher than in other parts of Grenada due to its popularity with expats and proximity to the university. Housing options range from apartments to larger homes, with many properties offering stunning ocean views. The climate in True Blue is tropical, with a wet and a dry season. It's important to prepare for hurricane season, which typically runs from June to November. True Blue is home to a variety of restaurants and bars, many of which cater to the international community. The area is also known for its vibrant nightlife, particularly during the school year. Public transportation in Grenada is reliable and inexpensive, but many expats choose to rent or buy a car for more flexibility. Driving is on the left side of the road, and an international driving permit is required. Healthcare facilities in True Blue are good, with St. George's University hosting a well-equipped hospital. However, serious medical conditions may require evacuation to a country with more advanced facilities. Grenada is generally safe, but like anywhere, crime does occur. Expats are advised to take standard precautions such as locking doors and not displaying valuable possessions. Finally, Grenada's culture is friendly and laid-back. Locals are known for their hospitality and it's common to greet people with a smile and a "good morning" or "good afternoon"," commented one expat who made the move to True Blue, Grenada.
