More and more people from around the world are choosing to spend at least part of their lives in coastal Costa Rica–and more than a few decide there just might be no better place to spend the rest of their lives.
Why?
1. A warm climate, beaches, mountains, jungles–and breathtaking biodiversity. The people and government of Costa Rica are committed to preserving Costa Rica’s clean air, beautiful beaches and precious flora and fauna.
2. Costa Rica has one of the oldest and most stable democratic governments in the Americas. In fact, this peace loving nation has twice won the Nobel Prize for its peacekeeping efforts.
3. Costa Rica is a peaceful nation and has no standing army; it was disbanded in 1949.
4. The people are generally fond of foreigners and welcome them to Costa Rica. American’s included.
5. The cost of living is very reasonable–especially once one owns a home in Costa Rica. Taxes on a $500,000 home, for example, may run only $500 per year.
6. Good medical and dental care is not only widely available, but are also very reasonable. Many travel here for cosmetic procedures that cost a fraction of what might be charged in Europe or the U.S. And what a lovely place in which to recover!
7. Costa Rica has a highly educated population. The government currently spends around 27 percent of its budget on education. The literacy rate in Costa Rica is at 93 percent.
8. Costa Rica is only about the size of West Virginia, but has wonderful coastlines with 132 miles along the Atlantic, and 631 miles of prime Pacific beaches (especially in Guanacaste) and coastline. The interior is graced with farmland, mountains and jungles.
The reason for my recent keen interest in Costa Rica is that we will have been selected to help represent the Azulera developers in the sale of the long-awaited and luxurious Hyatt condos and resort village that are being developed along the breathtaking Guanacaste coast.
But details of that venture will come–sooner rather than later. Say tuned!
Basing on what you describe about Costa Rica , i wish i have enough money and time to live in there for some months ( just for traveling purpose)
Costa Rica is not only a great travel destination, but is also luring full time and part time residents. I believe Azulera, the new Hyatt Resort, will lure even more affluent travelers and residents who are seeking a permanent and luxurious home on Costa Rica’s Guanacaste Coast (Pacific Ocean).
