Savannah and Prospect
Savannah and Prospect are growing areas with rich soil for gardening and schools. Near Georgetown, there are many larger homes in developed areas with local residents enjoying the lifestyle and less expensive to purchase.
The Grand Caymans offer so much diversity
It is a more expensive island to live on, as the word "Grand" implies, full of beautiful beaches and the capital George Town.
As a tax-neutral state, its residents have no direct taxation regarding income, corporate, land, or capital gains. This shifts the fiscal burden to indirect taxes and fees, affecting the cost of goods and services and directly increasing the cost of living.
It was the Best Christmas ever on the Island. At 15, my Mom and I got our scuba diving licenses together. Our family spent Christmas week diving as a family, the vast protected groupers nudging and bumping me for a treat while I was sitting on an underground rock watching the resort's Moray els during feeding time and my brother and me cave diving at night, backing into black sea urchins with our heels...note to self wear fully protected fins!
