Selecting a location when investing in Costa Rica  

The choices for anyone planting roots and settling down here are virtually endless.  Costa Rica has a multitude of towns and regions that are wide and varied. Some are tiny farming communities, some are remote mountain towns, some are bustling beach towns or even urban sprawl. But only a handful of these areas are best suited for those wanting to retire, relocate or purchase a vacation property.

Where YOU decide to settle depends entirely on your present lifestyle as compared to your desired lifestyle, your budget, and the activities you wish to pursue. And there are also specific needs you may have such as proximity to health care, schools, shopping, activities, and transportation. It’s possible for people of all types, ages, singles, couples, families and investors to satisfy almost any preference in climate and lifestyle amenities when moving to or buying real estate in Costa Rica.  In deciding which lifestyle appeals to you, we have put together a comparison table below as well as a guide to each area.
