Housing in the Cayman Islands

We're here to answer the "do I rent, buy, build or improve my property" questions. We also give handy tips to take the hassle out of running your home.

Finding a slice of paradise to call home need not be such a challenge. In fact, if you are lucky enough to live in the Cayman Islands, finding a home should be one of the more exciting tasks on your to-do-list. There is such a diverse selection of properties available in Cayman— from high-end luxury offerings to those on the more affordable end.

Value-wise Cayman compares very favourably to other Caribbean Islands, especially taking into consideration our high standard of construction which is not always offered regionally.

In recent years the marketplace has been booming, and developments along Seven Mile Beach and the South Sound have risen considerably in value. Our New Developments page is updated yearly to reflect the latest in real estate developments.

Although the Island is small, each district boasts a distinctive feel and depending on your lifestyle, you might find you are better suited to one area over the other. The Seven Mile Beach area is very sought after for young working professionals due to close proximity to many shops and restaurants, while families tend to head further east for the quieter South Sound and Prospect areas. West Bay offers residents the same ocean-front appeal found along Seven Mile Beach, but for a far cheaper price. Visit our Neighbourhoods page for an area by area breakdown.

Real Estate agents can be a huge help for narrowing down your options as they really have their finger on the pulse of the Island's property market. Real Estate companies are numerous in Cayman, so there is an ample roster of local professionals to assist you with your search for the perfect rental or to begin your climb up the property ladder with a purchase.
