Best family friendly areas to live on St Thomas .

Probably cowpet bay, anchorage, east end locations near yacht club.
You can also check Montessori school for your youngest. You really don't want to be driving from north side to Antilles, twice a day, plus back and forth to work. Too much commuting.

We don't have neighborhoods like in the states.
If you live on south side of island, Frenchman bay, you'll be closer to Antilles school but I find it pretty hot. Depends on the property tho and your budget.

Best thing to do is decide where kids will go to school and where you'll be working, then decide on a convenient commuting location that suits your needs.

When do you plan to move?
Good luck!

When do you plan to move?

We are planning a move to St Thomas next summer

The whole question of "desirable" neighborhoods and areas is virtually impossible to answer and, as Alana said, best advice is to fix on the school and the work location and go from there. If you're not familiar with the island, best to work with a local realtor. Are you planning on a PMV (pre move visit)?

Thanks for your help. Although we have sailed the BVI several times, we have not spent much time on STT, so a PMV is definitely in order. And I think a realtor is a must. Any recommendations?

John Foster Real Estate is a long established reputable company.

What area of the island will you be working in, or working from home? Do you prefer a house for more space or a condo for more socialization?
