Is West End a "nice" place to live? Depends on what you like. It is a nice enough place - to visit, but living there can get to be a bit much. It is somewhat too busy and crowded and noisy for me. I tried it but ended up moving to a more secluded, and quieter, area. Many people prefer it to West Bay because it is more like a small town, and it does have a small town feeling to it and West End seems to be a pretty safe place, generally speaking. There are a number of ex-pats living there but mostly it is just people who are just there for the day, or at most a few days. Very much more a tourist town than an ex-pat colony. Just depends on what a person is looking for. Too busy and touristy a place for me to live in, I think.
