Properties in Costa Rica
Costa Rica is in the top 5 of best countries to retire to, according to International Living Magazine. They did a deep study compiling information from correspondents from all over the world.
The quality of life in Costa Rica , founded on security, political and economic stability, access to primary health care and the natural beauty, mild climate and the warmth of the population, make Costa Rica a very desirable destination for retirees. Army-free since 1949 makes us stable and peaceful.
According to the US State Department there are approximately 50,000 US citizens living in Costa Rica at the moment. After decades of working hard and saving for their “golden years” many North Americans and Europeans choose our country as their home.
Most of them come looking to live near the coast, but because of our variety in natural beauty many expats also look to live in-land. Places like Atenas and San Ramon are very popular between those who want country living surrounded by green sceneries.
Most retirees choose our pristine beaches as their home, beach towns offer all necessary facilities along with the benefit of colorful sunsets and warm waters year round.
Costa Rica offers everything from Caribbean and Pacific beaches (Jaco, Los Sueños, Manuel Antonio, Dominical, Tamarindo, Nicoya Peninsula, Uvita etc.) to lush rain forests to towering volcanoes. More than 10% of the country is protected national parkland, and it is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world.
No wonder we are called the “Land of Pura Vida”.
