The brief

The reason to consider it.

Eye-widening Caribbean view. Beautifully decorated. Turnkey condition. That, in a nutshell, is what you’ll find at K71 Questa Verde. From the balcony of this spacious and airy condo you get what is arguably the best view at the hillside complex: a drone’s-eye view of Christiansted, seaplanes lifting off from the town harbor, Protestant Cay, Buck Island and - on reasonably clear days - St. John and the British Virgin Islands, 40 miles across the multi-blued Caribbean.

The solid, 1700 square foot condo underwent a complete reconstruction in the early 1990’s - courtesy of Hurricane Hugo in 1989 - followed by a gut renovation in 2004 and multiple upgrades since.In 2017 Hurricane Maria gave it little more than a power wash, followed by lucrative FEMA rentals that provided the opportunity for new appliances, along with a sparkling new paint job in an array of tropical colors that the previous owner labeled “genius.”

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
