Types of Properties

stand-alone house   apartments   gated communities   condominiums   timeshare

Apartments
Stand-alone homes are not only the standard for Americans buying real estate in Costa Rica, but it also the most common type of home for Ticos.  Throughout the Central Valley, urban and suburban homes are sprawled throughout much like you would see in the U.S.  Custom-designed apartment complexes are relatively new of the Costa Rican real estate scene.  They are being presented as a solution to the high demand for safe and secure, high-quality and easy to maintain living in Costa Rica.

Most of these complexes are located in the heavily populated Central Valley near the capital city of San Jose.  For those who wish to be near the city and enjoy urban living, apartments are becoming a popular choice.  Even in the beach communities, this is becoming a trend.  In the Southern Zone, there are strong restrictions to keep population and pollution down, but in the Central Pacific coast there are several larger cities with urban living right on the beach!

Town house-style and two-story terraced apartments can be found near the international airports in Liberia and San Jose and in the coastal cities of Jaco and Quepos.  Security is 24/7 shopping, city conveniences and culture are all around you. These modern developments are ideal for those who love apartment living.
