Costa Rica living thread
 

Hey,

anybody staying overthere atm?
I'm researching ways to go and stay there.

Interested to ask about fellas who came to CR from northen states or Northern Europe,
was it hard to adjust to the climate, food, water. What about medicine, police services. Overall infrastructure?

How easy is that living near their big town? What about aminities, public transport, car services?

Is there any good areas with affordable pricing? Like 3 befroom house, a pool and such?

How easy is that to stay as Rentista? Paperwork adn such.


So any info to clarify shit would be helpful.

lot of CR people on this board

Lots of people and they will post.

I dont live there but I live in Mexico.

Police Services in Cental and South America. Yes they have them, From time to time they can be of use, and you can always bribe them.

Most of the big cities have all the aminities. As for adjusting. Thats something that depends on the individual. Best way to find out is visit for 2 months or more.

that bribing part reminds me about where I live.

Do a search on the board about this, probably 5 threads or more about this very subject. I love Costa, and plan on moving there at some point in the near future.

I went for 2 weeks and it was awesome. Lots of affordable living... if you're from a cooler climate you're body will need to adjust to the humidity... but it's less humid in the mountain areas (compared to the humid coast and beaches)
