Costa Rica is one of the most attractive Latin American countries in terms of security and quality of life. In a paradise of luxurious beaches, mountains and an appealing climate, it’s no surprise that the luxury real estate market has reached an important status with much to offer in terms of variety and prestige. Given the growing strength of its luxury real estate market, Costa Rica is an ideal place to invest.
The central valley has perhaps the most to offer in luxury homes, in Escazu and Santa Ana for example, two large and well known cities. Buying or renting an apartment in Santa Ana, where development has increased significantly in recent years, offers a wide range of services and attractions: cultural, commercial and educational centers, recreation, restaurants, clinics and public areas with high security systems and good transportation. Other points of interest in the central valley with prestigious properties are Alaijuela, Ciudad Colon, Pinares, Curridabat, Atenas and Colinas de Heredia.
Those looking for a luxury office will be drawn to west San Jose, an area with many prestigious business hotels, or Heredia with its proximity to the best business and residential complexes, exclusive luxury hotels and the Juan Santamaria International Airport.
Close to San Jose is Cartago, the beautiful intersection of work and leisure. Here one can invest in agricultural land or purchase a luxury villa with spectacular mountain views. In the city one can find both colonial and modern style luxury homes.
For investors interested in tourism or a second house, the Pacific coastal provinces of Guanacaste and Puntarenas are wise choices, as wells as Limón in the Caribbean Sea. In Jaco on the Pacific coast, volcanic sandy beaches meet lush tropical jungle, and the surfing paradise Jaco Beach offers prestigious condos. This small and charming town has a truly vibrant nightlife. Other interesting locations on the coast are Tamarindo, Quepos, Manuel Antonio, Los Sueños and Domincal.
