Grenville feels like a working town, not a tourist spot. The Saturday market on Sendal Street is the heartbeat of the place — locals sell everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts. It’s practical, not picturesque. The new bus terminal makes getting around easier, but don’t expect Uber or ride-sharing apps here.

Living in Grenville means dealing with limited amenities. The town has a police station and magistrate’s court, but healthcare options are sparse. Pearls Airport, Grenada’s first, is nearby but hasn’t handled commercial flights in years. Grenville is best for expats who want a quiet, low-key Caribbean life without the resort-town price tag.
