The choices for anyone planting roots and settling down here are virtually endless. Costa Rica has a multitude of towns and regions that are wide and varied. Some are tiny farming communities, some are remote mountain towns, some are bustling beach towns or even urban sprawl. But only a handful of these areas are best suited for those wanting to retire, relocate or purchase a vacation property.

And there are also specific needs you may have such as proximity to health care, schools, shopping, activities, and transportation.
