Berbice

Berbice, anchored by New Amsterdam, is one of Guyana's three historic counties, with a distinct identity and a slower, more established pace of life than Georgetown. The region has a long agricultural and sugar-industry history, and many towns retain strong colonial-era architecture.

For buyers not tied to a Georgetown commute — retirees, families with roots in the region, or those running a business locally — Berbice generally offers more property for the money than the Demerara coast.
