The Garrison

The Garrison is the historic heart of Barbados's UNESCO inscription, a former British military garrison arrayed around the Savannah, a green oval that doubles as a horse-racing track and weekend gathering ground. Coral-stone Georgian buildings, the Barbados Museum, George Washington House and St Ann's Fort give the area a gravity found nowhere else on the island. For investors, the Garrison offers character properties and boutique apartment conversions in a protected, walkable setting minutes from Bridgetown and Carlisle Bay's beaches. Pricing typically ranges US$400-750 per sq ft, with restored heritage homes and condos appealing to long-stay professionals and cultural tourists. Gross yields of 5-7% are supported by steady year-round demand, and the UNESCO designation protects the streetscape and underpins long-term value retention in a tightly held, low-supply pocket.
