Anguilla Real Estate: General Information
Anguilla is an overseas territory of the UK located in the
Leeward Islands, just north of St. Martin and east of the Virgin Islands. Though
small and not as lush as surrounding islands, Anguilla boasts some of the Caribbean's
most beautiful beaches and the cachet of an exclusive, upscale outpost. The atmosphere
surrounding Anguilla properties is laid-back and idyllic. Real Estate on Anguilla
lies just twenty minutes to the shopping and nightlife of St. Martin while benefiting
from the quiet ambiance of being slightly removed. Most visitors arrive in St. Martin
first and must connect for a final ferry leg, as Anguilla's airport caters only
to small, inter-island flights.
