Beach-front luxury homes
Located among the best beaches on the Pacific coast and within close proximity of Costa Rica's tropical rain forests and national parks, Puntarenas is a place both to unwind and to seek adventure. Puntarenas' main street is home to many of Costa Rica's finest seafood restaurants, open-air cafes, and historic architecture.
The Juan Santamaría International Airport, situated a few miles from the capital city, San Jose, is served by several international airlines that offer direct flights from the United States, Europe and South America. In addition, San Jose is connected to Puntarenas by a new six-lane scenic highway that has decreased travel times between the two cities to less than 30 minutes.
Investing in Costa Rica real estate
For years, Costa Rica has been regarded as one of Central America's hidden gems. In March 2009, The Economist issued a detailed forecast outlining the economic crisis and its possible effects on political stability. Individual countries were ranked for vulnerability of political instability and Costa Rica is rated as one of the world’s most stable countries; only six countries ranked higher out of 165.
The country also boasts one of the highest standards of living in Latin America. Costa Ricans experience the longest life expectancy rates in the world as well as a 97 percent literacy rate. Wellness is a top priority and healthcare is inexpensive with most doctors being American-educated.
A report from the World Bank in June 2009 detailed how foreign investors have begun to increase activities in Costa Rica. These factors include:
- Significant transportation infrastructure upgrades that make traveling to and from Costa Rica and Puntarenas easy and convenient;
- Billions of dollars in additional international investment in Greater Puntarenas by companies such as Hilton and Hyatt;
- The recent addition to Puntarenas of such amenities as a championship-quality 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course, a quaint beachfront boardwalk and a renovated inland Marina;
- Unparalleled biodiversity (pristine beaches, picturesque mountain ranges, lush rain forests, etc.) at a time when "eco-travel" is surging in popularity;
- Surroundings safe from crime and political unrest at a time when other travel destinations are decreasing in popularity because of such concerns.
- A national economy that has largely weathered the 2008-09 recession because of a strong GDP, good fiscal policy and an increase in retail sales.
- Attractive tax advantages. 0 capital gains and 0.25 percent property tax.
- Individuals and private companies both local and foreign can own land and property in Costa Rica. Few restrictions apply.
