Retire in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is among the most popular destinations for overseas retirement. The proximity to the United States, warm climate, miles of beaches and tropical paradise scenery and high standard of living, coupled with a stable political climate and good law-and-order situation make Costa Rica a prime choice for overseas retirees. Although Costa Rica is relatively more expensive than some other retirement havens, it is still a lot cheaper than retiring in the United States for a comparable standard of living. Some of the popular retirement areas include the Central Valley of Costa Rica, near San Jose, and the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Guanacaste province is especially popular with retirees.

While you will have to do your homework to gain residency in Costa Rica, it can be well worth it.
