What do people like (and dislike) about Freeport?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Freeport, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in Freeport, often like the beautiful beaches, warm climate, and relaxed island lifestyle. They appreciate the friendly and welcoming locals, as well as the opportunity to experience a different culture. The low crime rate and stable political environment also make it a safe place to live. Moreover, the Bahamas has a favorable tax regime, with no income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax, which can be attractive to expats and digital nomads. The cost of living can be relatively affordable, especially when compared to other Caribbean destinations. The availability of modern amenities, such as high-speed internet, makes it easier for digital nomads to work remotely. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the limited job opportunities in Freeport, as the local economy is primarily driven by tourism and financial services. The island's infrastructure can also be a challenge, with occasional power outages and limited public transportation options. Additionally, the healthcare facilities in Freeport may not be up to the standards that some expats are used to, and more serious medical issues may require travel to Nassau or the United States for treatment. Finally, while the cost of living can be affordable, imported goods and groceries can be expensive due to import taxes and transportation costs," remarked another expat in Freeport, Bahamas.
