Costa Rica's largest province is Alajuela.  This province is also the largest producer of coffee and sugar in the country. Its capital, the city of Alajuela, is located just 15 miles away from the San Jose and is also the second largest city in the country.

The city of Alajuela is comprised of 14 districts or areas, and one of those districts is "Rio Segundo". Have I lost you by now?

Rio Segundo is a narrow strip of land near the airport at the lower tip of Alajuela. Due to its proximity to the Juan Santamaria international airport, it harbors a vast array of casinos, hotels, restaurants and nearly all the car rentals outlets we are familiar with. All are located on one main road that connects Alajuela with the third largest city in the land, Heredia.

Just behind this one-road commercial parade, you'll be witness to a panoramic kaleidoscope, ranging from stylish condos, large ranch-styled haciendas, middle and lower priced homes, to pasture lands and rolling hills as far as the eye can see.

Every crossroad can take you to something totally unexpected.

The availability of land at a reasonable price and its proximity to so many amenities, has made Rio Segundo a beacon for enclosed, gated communities that seem to spring up like mushrooms.  These communities provide cost effective housing in a secure environment.

Right now, we really don't offer any proeprties for sale in the area of Rio Segundo but with pleasure I can show you around the area and most of all, sell you a home on or near the golf course in Cariari or Belen. We also rent homes in Cariari.

Hi, my name is Shell Johanson and I am your real estate agent for the Rio Segundo de Alajuela, Cariari and Belen areas. Rio Segundo de Alajuela is close to Cariari which is famous for the Cariari Country club and its golf course. It would be my pleasure to show you this section of Costa Rica as a wonderful place to live and play. I specialize in golf properties.

I have lived in the Cariari-Belen area for eight years and know it intimately. I have been a member of the lovely Cariari Golf and Country Club for nearly 15 years and I enjoy playing there as much today as I did the first time.

It is a machiavellian Tom Fazio designed 18 holes that will test all your skills as a golfer.

Let me show you around. You can even be my guest for a round of golf. You will quickly understand why this area was selected by the leading newspaper of the country La Nacion as the best place to live in Costa Rica.
