Best fit: FIRE / Geoarbitrage (score: 69)
Saint George's sits on the Caribbean island of Grenada at just 5 m above sea level, in the America/Grenada timezone, where a tropical climate delivers warm, humid weather all year. The wet season runs from June to November and carries hurricane risk, while December to May stays drier. About 34 thousand people live here, and expats tend to settle in Lance aux Epines and Grand Anse, two neighborhoods that anchor much of the foreign resident community.
Rent shapes the budget more than anything else. A 1-bedroom in the city center runs $900/mo, while the same outside the center drops to $650/mo. A 3-bedroom in the city center is $1,400/mo, and outside the center it falls to $1,000/mo. Excluding rent, a single person spends around $800/mo. That puts a budget tier at $1,700/mo, a mid-range tier at $2,400/mo, and a comfortable tier at $3,500/mo for a single adult with rent included. Internet averages 35 Mbps.
Safety is a strong point, with a safety index of 70/100 and a crime index of 28/100, where lower is safer. Air quality is good at an index of 35, again lower being better. Healthcare quality is rated fair. The expat community is medium in size, and English proficiency is common in tourist areas, which eases the first weeks of settling in.
Grenada's Digital Nomad Visa requires a minimum monthly income of $3,083/mo. The nearest airport is GND, 7 km away. Scores land at 69/100 overall, 69/100 for digital nomads, 71/100 for FIRE, and 56/100 for retirees. Saint George's suits remote workers and early retirees who want warm weather, manageable rents outside the center, and a quieter island pace.

Saint George's is notably safe for a Caribbean capital, with a strong police presence and low violent crime affecting expats. Petty theft and pickpocketing occur in crowded markets and the waterfront, particularly around the cruise ship terminal. Avoid isolated areas after dark and the neighborhoods of Tanteen and Paddock. Gang activity exists but rarely targets foreigners. Overall, expats report feeling secure with standard urban precautions—this is a realistic choice for remote workers and retirees seeking Caribbean living without major safety concerns.

Areas of Saint George's that expats often consider.
Conditions can change from one block to the next, and these descriptions are general guides, not safety assessments. Before choosing where to stay or live, check current travel advisories, talk to people who live there, and visit in person if you can.
Bustling beach, tourist central
Grand Anse is known for its beautiful beach and many hotels, restaurants, and shops catering to tourists. It's very expat-friendly, but prices are higher, and it can be crowded. Good bus service into St. George's.
Quiet, upscale, residential area
Morne Rouge, particularly around La Phare Bleu marina, offers a more secluded and upscale living experience. It's popular with retirees and those seeking tranquility. A car is recommended due to limited public transport.
Residential, waterfront, yachting community
Lance aux Epines is a peninsula with several marinas and a mix of houses and apartments. It's a popular area for boaters and those who enjoy being near the water. Relatively quiet, but still close to amenities and the airport.
Local, residential, budget-friendly
Calliste is a more local residential area, offering a more authentic Grenadian experience. It's further from the main tourist areas, so prices are lower. Knowing some Patois or being willing to learn will be helpful.
With a 1-bedroom in the center at $900/mo, your FIRE number here might be much lower than you think.
