There is something that everyone loves about Granada. This country consists of the large island of Grenada together with six smaller islands that form a single country. Of course, the “big” island we commonly refer to as Grenada covers only about 133 square miles, and yet it’s like a beautiful jewel set in lapis lazuli blue water. Grenada can be as mundane as a small apartment building on a city street near a university, or as exotic as a nutmeg plantation complete with palatial home and outbuildings, plus spice-scented groves.

The diversity in the Grenada charts is probably the result of the varied geography of the islands. On the largest island, the volcanic mountains sit right up with the highest, Mount Santa Catalina, pressing nearly three thousand feet into the sky. Below, lazy blue waves lap the sandy beaches and forests of nutmeg and mace trees terrace haphazardly between them, all intermittently dotted with patches of lush tropical vegetation. The smaller islands also boast a range of Grenada for sale or rent, but on a smaller scale and none of its cities rival the country’s capital, St. George’s.

Unlike many of the other islands in the region, it is an independent and self-governing state, but that independence was hard to come by. Many people consider Grenada to be one of the most contested nations in the Caribbean basin. Perhaps the reason so many people have struggled to control it is its natural beauty and its strategic position being so close to South America. Politics aside, the islands are warm, beautiful, and Grenada real estate, while not exactly “cheap,” is often surprisingly reasonably priced.

Unlike other Caribbean islands, Grenada is located at the southern end of “hurricane alley” and as such has only had to deal with three major hurricane encounters of this type in the last fifty years. Still, the climate is typical of the tropics with warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. However, the breeze that blows through Grenada property for sale is scented with spices, not smog, and it’s hard to resist the allure of owning such an unspoiled and pristine piece of paradise.

If you or your company are looking for a Caribbean island with investment potential that offers the beauty of the tropics without the higher insurance rates of those islands that are often in the eye of the hurricane, then real estate in Grenada should top your list.
