Perhaps you are relocating to Barbados for employment reasons, in which case your employer may be offering a housing allowance. If so then you may be able to afford an apartment within a complex that offers laundry facilities and a swimming pool for your convenience and enjoyment of your time off.

If you would like a second bedroom then you can expect to pay approximately $1,500 BDS per month for a long-term rental agreement or lease. These types of apartments normally do not come with the luxury of a swimming pool; if you would like the luxury of having a swimming pool you can expect to pay an additional $500 BDS for the same amenities of a 2-bedroom apartment.
