Costa Rica Collective
A naturally beautiful destination known for its biodiversity, welcoming lifestyle, established international communities, and commitment to sustainability.
Nature, lifestyle, and international appeal
Costa Rica has a long democratic history and is internationally recognized for its peaceful culture and commitment to social and environmental priorities.
Pacific and Caribbean coastlines, tropical forests, mountains, wildlife, and diverse climates offer buyers a wide range of settings and lifestyle experiences.
Areas including Guanacaste, the Central Pacific, and the Central Valley attract international residents, retirees, remote professionals, and vacation-property owners.
Costa Rica is recognized internationally for conservation, clean-energy initiatives, and its sustainable-tourism model.
Could Costa Rica be right for you?
- Lifestyle-focused buyers drawn to nature, wellness, and outdoor living.
- Retirees and semi-retirees exploring a long-term or seasonal residence.
- Remote professionals considering an international home base.
- Families seeking a vacation property or second home.
- Buyers interested in established communities or emerging developments.
Understanding the essentials
Before purchasing property in Costa Rica, international buyers should understand:
- •How property ownership, title verification, and registration work.
- •The special ownership and concession rules that may apply within Costa Rica’s Maritime Zone.
- •How purchase agreements, deposits, escrow arrangements, and closing procedures may work.
- •Closing costs, taxes, homeowners’ association fees, and ongoing ownership expenses.
- •The differences between titled property, concession property, condominiums, and ownership through a corporation.
- •Property-management, maintenance, and rental considerations.
- •The importance of obtaining independent legal, tax, financial, and immigration advice.
Foreign buyers generally have property rights similar to Costa Rican citizens, but important restrictions apply to certain coastal properties within the Maritime Zone. Independent legal review is therefore essential before entering into a purchase agreement.
