  • The town of Atenas, Costa Rica, is located only 35 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the capital city of San Jose. It offers the small-town countryside lifestyle for those that are looking for peace and tranquility. Join me in this video as I tour the town and surrounding areas of Atenas and visit some properties as reference for the type of living accommodations available in Atenas.
    The population of the area is around 20,300, and Atenas has become a haven for ex-pats from many different parts of the world. Known for its climate, Atenas is often referred to as "best climate" because of the temperature ranges from 68 F to 89 F year-round.
    For more information on the properties viewed, I am attaching the links below.

    Atenas is one of the aspirational places to live for us San Jose City dwellers. You forgot to mention its the site of a US university and also has the best chifrijo and salvadorian pupusas in the country next to each other (Yayos). Its also nested between highway 1 and 27 so the beach is less than 1 hr away I have done it in 30 min to Caldera port.

    ATENAS is certainly one of the top spots for expats to settle in Costa Rica. However, the prices for the homes are TOO EXPENSIVE - as are most houses in the country. KEEP IN MIND - you can RENT a decent (not luxury) home for around $500-$600 / month in the outskirts of Atenas and other mountainous zones. BETTER TO RENT THAN BUY - be warned ! It is REALLY DIFFICULT to sell homes in CR !

    • @CostaRicaLaw
      @CostaRicaLaw  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for watching and commenting. The area of Atenas has become very popular with "Gringos" and Europeans so they tend to purchase larger parcels of land with larger homes thus resulting in more expensive real estate. If you stay out of the popular expat areas in Atenas and out of the gated communities you can certainly find bargains in the more "tico" areas.

    • @CostaRicaLaw
      @CostaRicaLaw  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for commenting. We hare currently having a large influx of "Gringos" to the country in general. I notice that in the US the housing market is getting very competitive and expensive in some areas and the ones coming to Costa Rica are bringing some of that hype with them so we will probably be seeing higher gringo prices in the most popular expat areas of Costa Rica.
