Beachfront Properties – Offer More than Just the Views….

Costa Rica offers an irresistible coastline and great prices on beachfront real estate. It’s no secret that having a front row seat on the ocean and beach area is a huge investment feature. But you may not realize that Costa Rica offers so much more than just beachfront and ocean view real estate. The Central American country also has rainforest, mountains and diverse geographic features. Many of the Costa Rica Beachfront real estate properties also offer attractive features such as un-chartered rainforest. How many other beachfront real estate areas can promote that they also come with virgin rain forested areas and / or are close in to ecological parks that have been set aside for preservation, recreation and pure enjoyment.

The Southern Pacific Zone

Unlike the northern parts of the country, the Southern Pacific Zone is a tropical paradise. When you see beautiful photos of the country with lush jungle coves and gorgeous sands you are usually viewing a photo from the southern zone areas. In fact, many of the northern regions are classified as an arid desert environment. Dominical Real Estate sells Costa Rica real estate properties throughout the Southern Pacific Zone. We cover the areas of Dominical, Uvita, Ojochal, Hatillo, Playa Matapalo, Platanillo, Tinamastes, San Isidro, Manuel Antonio, and Pavones.

That’s what you will find when you look through our properties.

Here are some fantastic beachfront Costa Rica real estate opportunities.

A condo near the beach may cost $40,000 in a less developed area, up to $150,000 in a more developed beachfront zone, and up to $500,000 for a beachfront condo right in popular, well-developed tourist destinations. Homes on the beach start at around $100,000, with homes on the Pacific coast generally more expensive than homes on the Caribbean.

Real Estate for Sale in Costa Rica: Attractive Options for Retirees

Every person has his or her idea of what makes the ideal retirement location. Many pre-retirees are drawn to places where the climate is mild and senior-friendly amenities are plenty, while some favor neighborhoods close to urban centers with top-notch healthcare and entertainment facilities as well as opportunities for employment. Still others are content to stay put in their current communities and enjoy the retirement lifestyle choices and benefits in store for them.

For those who decide to retire in another state or even country, comfort, security, and the availability of healthcare and other essential services are paramount. Incidentally, Costa Rica scores high on all these aspects as well as those pertaining to cost of living, retirement infrastructure, ease of integration, and real estate. A recent Tico Times article sums up the findings of an International Living report as regards the top retirement destinations in the world.

“This year’s ranking states that Costa Rica’s “legacy of year-round warm weather, as well as longtime political stability and public safety” earn the country a ranking in the top 10.

The publication also highlights the country’s health care system and states that Costa Rica “is still going strong because the country continues to tick the boxes of those looking for their place in the sun. Plus, because of its long history as an expat haven, it’s easier than ever to start a new chapter in your life.””

International Living also cites the affordable yet high standard of living in Costa Rica as a key factor why as many as 20,000 U.S. expatriates and retirees choose to take up residence in this Central American nation. It also helps that the country is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, biodiversity, and pleasant temperatures throughout the year. Such factors make it quite clear why prime real estate for sale in Costa Rica, whether along the coast or further inland, has enjoyed stable demand from international buyers.

Whether you’re looking for an investment property or somewhere you could comfortably retire, you’ll want to work with a trusted real estate firm—such as Dominical Real Estate—that knows the local property market quite well. When considering the best options in relation to real estate for sale in Costa Rica, it certainly pays to have a reliable expert by your side.

(Article Information and Image from Costa Rica still one of the best retirement destinations, says International Living magazine, Tico Times, 6 January 2014)
