Living in Jennings means settling into a quiet, no-frills corner of Antigua. This small settlement sits on the west side of the island, along the road connecting St. John's and Bolans. It's a practical spot if you need to access the capital but prefer a more low-key vibe. The area is just three kilometers from Five Island Harbour, making it convenient for boat trips or waterfront outings.

Jennings isn't a tourist hub or a bustling expat enclave. It's a working-class community where daily life moves at a slow, Caribbean pace. The lack of specific cost and safety data suggests it's neither exceptionally cheap nor dangerous – just an average Antiguan town. Be prepared for limited amenities and the occasional power outage, which are common across the island.

This place works for FIRE types who want to live simply and don't need much infrastructure. It's not ideal for digital nomads who require reliable internet or retirees seeking a polished expat scene.
