Hastings

Hastings sits at the western edge of the south coast just beyond Bridgetown, a built-up coastal belt threaded by the Richard Haynes Boardwalk that runs along the sea toward Rockley. It is one of the island's densest condo markets, convenient to the capital, the airport road and a string of small beaches, restaurants and shops. For investors, Hastings is a workhorse rental district. Condos and apartments price around US$300-650 per sq ft, with sea-view and boardwalk-adjacent units at the top of the range. Its blend of commuter convenience, tourist beaches and walkable amenities drives reliable 5-7% gross yields and quick lettings. Lower entry pricing than the West Coast, plus proximity to both Bridgetown's regeneration and Christ Church's tourism, makes it a steady, liquid choice for first-time island investors.
