Cayman Brac

The Brac (a Gaelic word meaning 'bluff') has the highest elevations in the Cayman Islands and is a popular location for home building for those looking for a rustic island getaway.

George Town

The capital of the Cayman Islands and, at a little more than 28,000, more than 50 per cent of the total population lives here. The town centre is bustling with life, as office workers rub shoulders with hundreds of cruise ship passengers and other visitors in this vibrant part of the island. Cayman’s financial services industry still shows a strong presence in George Town, despite the lure of Camana Bay, and where international financial institutions now stand, modest wooden buildings, cow pastures and wattle and daub homes once stood. George Town is a popular location for families as most of the schools are located in the area, specifically on and around Walkers Road. The government-run George Town Hospital and the privately-owned CTMH Doctors Hospital are located in the district and the commute into town is very short for most residents.

Rum Point

Located on the North Sound and on a reef-protected beach far away from the hustle and bustle of Seven Mile, this is a favourite with holiday makers who enjoy the tranquility of island life. Amenities and shopping are limited at this end of the island. Many residents own a boat and jet across the North Sound to get their groceries, to go to work or to drop off the kids for school. By road, the closest school is the North Side Primary School. Condos, as well as private residences, can be found here. All are mainly catering for holiday makers. There is a variety of multi-million dollar homes which puts the area on the high end of the price range and a really exciting new development of beautiful contemporary units at The Rum Point Club. Several restaurants and bars cater for holiday makers and locals alike. Some tour operates have their base here.

Seven Mile Corridor

The Seven Mile Beach corridor (actually 5.6 miles of beach) is the most prestigious residential location in all of the Cayman Islands. It is divided by West Bay Road into beach front properties and canal living away from the beach, but still with breath-taking water views. On the canal side of the Seven Mile Beach, single family homes nestle next to condominiums of which many have direct access to a canal and come readily equipped with a dock for your boat. The option of boat docking is an extremely attractive asset for buyers as all canals lead in the island’s favourite playground - the North Sound, which is home to the world-famous Sting Ray City. Condo prices are lower priced than beach front property but are still high. Residential living without canal access is in the higher end of the mid-range pricing. Canal front homes are in the high price range.
