The brief

The reason to consider it.

Step into a beautifully renovated possible income producing St. Croix gem!! A six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath home set on a 0.24-acre corner lot in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. Just seven minutes from Christiansted, this residence boasts two covered porches (one enclosed), a pastoral view, and lush tropical landscaping.

With a private backyard surrounded by a seven-foot concrete wall, multiple courtyards, and a platform for yoga or a hot tub, this home offers serene island living. Continuing this inviting picture, the property is thoughtfully designed with convenience and potential in mind. It includes two cisterns for reliable water storage, an outdoor bamboo shower for a true Caribbean experience, and a generator transfer switch to easily add a generator to the property.

The private outdoor spaces are a tropical oasis, complete with mature fruit trees—mango, coconut, plum, sugar apple, pineapple, passionfruit, carambola, soursop, banana, and noni—providing both shade and a taste of the island. The property is located in R-2 zoning.

What people say about US Virgin Islands

Sources agree that the US Virgin Islands is simple to enter for Americans, since it is US territory, but costly to run once there.

  • 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
