George Town

George Town is the administrative and commercial heart of Exuma, set on the protected Elizabeth Harbour that draws hundreds of cruising sailboats each winter for the famous Family Island Regatta. It has the island's banks, shops, government offices, restaurants and the closest concentration of everyday services, making it the practical base for full-time residents and long-stay owners. Stocking Island and its Chat 'N' Chill beach sit just across the harbour. This is Exuma's value market. Town and near-town homes and lots commonly range from US$300,000 to US$1.2M, with harbour-view and waterfront properties at the upper end, typically US$400-$800 per square foot. Long-term rental demand from workers and seasonal visitors supports gross yields of 6-8%, while harbour-front homes attract boating renters. With lower entry points than the resort district and many properties still near the US$750,000 residency line, George Town suits investors wanting attainable, services-rich Out Island ownership.
