What people say about US Virgin Islands

  • Concern WAPA electricity is expensive and outages are routine; backup power is treated as standard
  • Concern Insurance is a hard market: higher premiums, large percentage windstorm deductibles, trouble for wood-frame homes; flood is separate
  • Mixed Closings are attorney-led, take longer than on the mainland, and need a USVI-licensed lender; surveys matter on irregular hillside lots
  • Mixed Condo costs are driven by windstorm insurance; check reserves and master policy before buying
