Retirement in Costa Rica
Many foreigners retire to Costa Rica because of the tropical climate, lower cost of living and good health care. There is a well established community of expatriates, at least 50,000 Europeans and North Americans live in Costa Rica. That makes it easy to find suitable housing in communities that are magnets for expatriates and where many of the services you take for granted back home will be available.
You can buy a home on the beach in Costa Rica or in the mountains for much lower prices than a comparable home in Florida or California, or most urban areas in the U.S. or Europe. Land too is inexpensive in many areas. Some developing areas have condo or villa plots on or near the beach for as little as $40,000. More established areas commonly offer ocean view or beach front condos for $150,000. Prices for homes and condos in beach areas commonly run to as much as $450,000, depending on their fixtures, living area, lot size and other extras. Retirement to Costa Rica is relatively simple and costs effective for many.
