The republic of Costa Rica (Spanish for ‘Rich Coast’) is located in Central America between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. This progressive nation has attracted the attention of people looking for Costa Rica real estate for retirement and investment, with its rich variety of plants, wildlife and recreational opportunities. It also is home to the largest percentage of national parks and protected lands. In addition, Costa Rica offers a very high quality of life with its reasonable living expenses and well-built infrastructure.  cheap auto insurance

Buying Costa Rica real estate will not cost much more than if you were buying the same type of property in the USA. The market in Costa Rica for empty lots to build on, or existing homes is fairly close to comparable United States properties. Whether your choice for Costa Rica real estate is a beachfront property, a luxury inland home, or a condominium, the price you pay in Costa Rica is about the same you would pay in the States.

Purchasing Costa Rica real estate may seem confusing for a foreigner. In reality, it is quite simple and that fact has encouraged many people to buy Costa Rica real estate, in addition to the lower cost of living.

This cost of living is seen in the residents as well, since the average native earns about $500/month, which is sufficient to survive with a few luxuries. In comparison, the same lifestyle in the USA would require quite a bit more. The cost of living in Costa Rica is about 1/2 of that in the United States. An income of $1500 in Costa Rica will allow a person to live well above the average and afford luxuries not available to them in the USA. This is the very reason many Americans and Canadians have chosen to purchase Costa Rica real estate and retire there.  contractors liability insurance

Of course, camping and sightseeing neighboring countries such as Panama and Nicaragua are also opportunities for adventure.  auto insurance

Additional transportation in the country is by Taxi, usually a few dollars anywhere and by Bus.
