Stony Hill, Jamaica
Follows Jamaica Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
This suburban enclave has a growing population, but don't expect a cakewalk. As of 2015, Stony Hill boasted nearly 10,000 residents, up from 8,388 in 2009. However, the presence of a juvenile detention center in the area is a persistent headache for locals. Bureaucracy can be a slog, and safety is an ongoing concern. Overall, Stony Hill may appeal to those seeking a more affordable alternative to central Kingston, but it's not for the faint of heart.
