Two-Bedroom Duplex, Gated Community In Atenas

This two-bedroom, two-bath villa is located in a gated community in central Atenas, just a short walk to shops and essentials. With a compact footprint (160 m² construction on a 275 m² lot), a plunge pool, and outdoor living spaces, it offers convenience and comfort for long-term living or hybrid use.

While the furnishings are functional, there’s room to upgrade, especially if targeting mid-to-long-term tenants or second-home buyers looking for occasional rental income. Atenas is not a top vacation rental hub—but it’s known for its consistently pleasant climate and central location, making it attractive for residents and seasonal visitors who value proximity to San José, Pacific beaches, and natural attractions.

This particular home does not offer valley views, which are often a draw in the area. However, the property’s location in town and walkability adds lifestyle value that many larger, more remote homes may lack.

From a rental perspective, smaller homes like this tend to underperform compared to three or four-bedroom properties in Atenas. Current market data shows limited demand in the two-bedroom category, though well-finished units still achieve above-average rates due to lack of competition. Estimated ADR is around $150/night with projected occupancy at 50%.

In short, this is not a high-yield short-term rental, but it may appeal to buyers looking for a livable, manageable home in a growing market with lifestyle upside. With some investment in furnishings and positioning, it could fill a gap in Atenas’s under-served two-bedroom rental market.
