It just depends on your preference. We have rainforest, pasturelands, rocky hills, and, of course, beaches. Want a view? Then find a place on one of the many hills. Living by the water certainly has its advantages, but keep in mind the elements will be harsh on your belongings. You’ll have to upgrade to appliances that can withstand the salt air better! East End, West End, North Shore, South Shore, they are all beautiful! Learn more about the different regions of the island in our Regional Guides.

Check with one of our real estate agencies; most of them have a rental specialist on staff to help with long-term rentals. You can also check the classified section of the local newspaper, and word of mouth usually works pretty well. You can rent condos, stand alone home, guests houses on a larger property, apartments attached to homes (usually downstairs) and even rooms with-in private homes. Look into long term rentals here.

The price of a home or condo is going to depend on the location, the size, the view and the amenities included. Some condos are very reasonable and there are also multi-million dollar homes. Lots are available to build your own home, but all materials for construction are shipped here first, making this a pricey option. We recommend you contact a real estate agent to help you find the home that is right for you.

You can get FHA, VA, USDA, and Conventional Loans in the U.S. Virgin Islands. To find our which option is right for you, and how to pre-qualify for a home loan, we recommend reaching out to a mortgage lender here on St. Croix.
