Life around Welfare Road in Simpson Bay

Both sides of the island are equally far from Simpson Bay, a neighbourhood with plenty of activity. You can walk to the beaches, the marinas and the casinos, and the nightlife is just as close.

Restaurants such as Karakter, The Palms and Buccaneer are nearby. It takes 5 minutes to get to SXM International Airport and 10 minutes to cross the French border towards Marigot and Grand Case.

Rooftop facilities across the four buildings

The Hills Residence is made up of 152 apartments in 4 buildings. Every roof has its own infinity pool with a view across Simpson Bay Lagoon, together with two jacuzzis and a lounge set aside for residents.

Covered parking, a lobby and secured access serve the complex. The ground-floor shopping centre contains boutiques and two restaurants, and 4U Real Estate provides HOA services and rental management.

Using the condo as a home or for rental income

The kitchen has a fridge, a dishwasher, an oven and a cooktop under a hood. A washer / dryer combo, air conditioning and high-speed Wi-Fi complete the unit, which comes furnished and turnkey.

Because the building is delivered and operating, there is no wait and no construction risk. Units here have documented rental performance, Simpson Bay has the island’s tightest market for letting to holidaymakers, and Sint Maarten has no capital gains tax. Photos, the floorplan and a detailed rental breakdown are available from 4U Real Estate.
