In addition to water sports and fine dining, the Real Estate business has boomed for local agencies. With the new Dutch Constellation of the Caribbean Netherlands, investors have been rushing to construct many upscale luxury homes and apartments. Despite the world wide real estate down turn, the island continues to hold its property value, especially along the seaside.

Investors should note that if they do want to purchase a second home here, interests rates at local banks tend to be much higher than in the US.
