About Buttonwood Bay

Buttonwood Bay is a desirable suburban seafront enclave on the northern edge of Belize City, known for newer homes, gated lots and a quieter, greener environment than the urban core. Its position along the coast and near the Princess Margaret Drive corridor gives it sea breezes, relative security and proximity to commerce, making it a preferred address for affluent Belizeans and expats. Product skews to modern detached homes and gated-community lots, typically USD 200,000-450,000, with steady city-level appreciation of 4-6% and dependable rental demand from professionals and embassy staff at 6-8% gross yields. Foreigners take full freehold, pay 8% stamp tax (7% via IBC) and owe no capital-gains tax on resale.
