Thanks Richard, Ive worked in agency in the USA, the UK and France... refreshing to hear such sound advice, plainly spoken....coming to CR for the first time in Janaury/ feb...am keen to see how the market looks and how it works there...thanks again.
Atenas is one of the aspirational places to live for us San Jose City dwellers. You forgot to mention its the site of a US university and also has the best chifrijo and salvadorian pupusas in the country next to each other (Yayos). Its also nested between highway 1 and 27 so the beach is less than 1 hr away I have done it in 30 min to Caldera port.
Hi, I have been thinking about coming to Costa Rica for some time now. Possibly taking a trip this fall around September October to get a feel of the place. Check out the cost of everything how to transfer money etc et cetera. I wouldn't mind communicating with somebody who would give me a little insight. And tell me where to get started.Thank you Evan
Hi Evan. That is the great approach come down rent a place for that time frame. Those months are during our rainy season and it will be much easier to find accommodations at lower cost. I would just start by selecting an area of the country where you want to spend some time. If you are interested in Atenas and Central Valley area or, Guanacaste Beaches, Southern Zone, Caribbean side and then locate an Airbnb in those areas. You could also stay in one place for 2 weeks and then check out another one and so forth to see which area of the country you like. Also the Airbnb hosts will be able to give you tips about the areas where you will stay. For example I just checked Atenas on Airbnb for September and you have 12 different options starting at $85 a night and up.
There's just so much Ancient treasure hidden in the jungles of Costa Rica though for travelers to enrich their lives... Such a marvelous place I'll tell ya? @MyselfOneIII On Twitter Current Location : Virginia Beach, Virginia - Earth
I think you will find a mix of price ranges. Somer very expensive areas but also some areas are less expensive. Alot of depends on the particular area and the type of property you are looking for.
ATENAS is certainly one of the top spots for expats to settle in Costa Rica. However, the prices for the homes are TOO EXPENSIVE - as are most houses in the country. KEEP IN MIND - you can RENT a decent (not luxury) home for around $500-$600 / month in the outskirts of Atenas and other mountainous zones. BETTER TO RENT THAN BUY - be warned ! It is REALLY DIFFICULT to sell homes in CR !
Yes. I hate mosquitoes ! It depends on the part of the country and the time of the year. During our summer (Dec -April) season it is not that bad and getw worse during the rainy season.
Hi there! I have a certificate of indian blood card. Who might I write in the Costa Rican Government that might help my wife, children, and I, to obtain residency?
The best contact is the Costa Rican Embassy or Consulate in you country of origin. Here is the website. rree.go.cr/ On the green tab you can pick the country and it will list the contact information
Thank you for commenting. We hare currently having a large influx of "Gringos" to the country in general. I notice that in the US the housing market is getting very competitive and expensive in some areas and the ones coming to Costa Rica are bringing some of that hype with them so we will probably be seeing higher gringo prices in the most popular expat areas of Costa Rica.
Thank you for watching and commenting. The area of Atenas has become very popular with "Gringos" and Europeans so they tend to purchase larger parcels of land with larger homes thus resulting in more expensive real estate. If you stay out of the popular expat areas in Atenas and out of the gated communities you can certainly find bargains in the more "tico" areas.
Thank you for your question. So far as we know they will require incoming passengers to fill out an "Epidemiological Form". I am attaching a link to that form for you. On the right tab it has the Spanish or English language option tab. If we hear anything else we will post it as well. ccss.now.sh/

It is all mountainous in Atenas?
Not all of it. The center of Atenas is about 2,200 Ft above sea level and sits in a valley.
What is the internet like in places like that?

In Atenas you will have the option of several internet providers and good quality.
Sad the houses are so expensive
I think you will find a mix of price ranges. Somer very expensive areas but also some areas are less expensive. Alot of depends on the particular area and the type of property you are looking for.
Are latinas hot? Or Americans are hotter?

Thank you for your feedback. Good point of view as well on renting versus buying. Just depends on each personal goal and lifestyle.
Agreed 💯!
How about mosquitoes?
I heard there is no place to hide from them.
Yes. I hate mosquitoes ! It depends on the part of the country and the time of the year. During our summer (Dec -April) season it is not that bad and getw worse during the rainy season.
Do mosquitos usually come out in early mornings and Nights?
@@lysh3342 Night is the time for blood suckers!!!
Can you own fire arms in Costa Rica?
Yes, if you are a citizen or have permanent residency abd have the license to own them.
@@CostaRicaLaw Oh wow. Great to know. 👍

Because the CV test is harmful to the body.
