Named appropriately the “Rich Coast” by Columbus upon discovery in the early 1500’s, and hailed as “the hottest real estate market on the planet” by CNBC, Costa Rica has become the corner stone for political stability and safety in Central America. The rich and diverse country has enjoyed a democratic and peaceful way of life since it’s founding in 1889, and in 1949 made the bold move of abolishing its army entirely, instead placing all resources towards education and health care. This in turn has lead to the Costa Rica of today- a country with an advanced socialized health care system that covers over 98% of its citizens, a literacy rate that rivals that of the First World (hovering at around 95%), and a standard of living unrivaled by any of its Central American neighbors.
With more of its land area dedicated to National Parks and Reserves than any other country in the world (some 25%), it is no wonder Costa Rica has been attracting tourists and investors to it’s breathtaking coastline, tropical forests and lush green rolling mountains for years. RE/MAX Horizons and Gold Coast are proud to offer clients the widest variety of real estate listings in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
