How we help you finding your dream home

By Barry Ashworth of Coronado Realty

American and European Brokers go out of our way to find your dream home  in Costa Rica .  Every listing ,on our website  of Costa Rica Real Estate , has been seen by the Broker usually many times and we know the location and the particular advantages and disadvantages of  where the home is .

The legal situation has also been checked and any anomalies sorted out with a lawyer and the owner  before we show you . American-European Real Estate Group make your purchase straight forward and worry free.

We are always happy to inform clients even about the disadvantages so they can make a informed decision.

You will find a lot of experience as I have over 20 years living and working this area. Similarly my colleagues have a lot of experience and also live in their areas  .

What third world? .Escazu and Santa Ana or the west of San Jose including Ciudad Colon are considered the best areas to live in by the majority of expats and a good investment .You will soon learn why when you visit . They have all the infrastructure you could possibly want ,restaurants ,hospitals e.t.c. and is considered as 2nd world as well as the rest of  the Central Valley area. Escazu is surrounded by hills .There are spectacular views from many  hills overlooking Escazu and Santa Ana and even San Jose lights .

There are various micro climates in this area .All are comfortable .Talk about perfect climate .In the morning I have to choose whether to wear a short sleeved shirt or long. Most times it is short sleeved.

Don’t live here if you like hot or cold climate .If you want A/C  it is hard to find in houses as we  don’t really need it . In Santa Ana some people have an A/C  in their master bedroom and very few central air conditioning . The hotels have to have them!!!!Live with fresh clean air and avoid the colds and sickness from A/Cs.
As a rule of Thumb choose your climate by altitude . Your American-European Broker will know approx altitudes . Escazu center is around 1100Mts and Santa Ana 900Mts .

We can find you homes in the hills with fireplaces if you prefer a little cooler even down to 65 at night .

The lower areas of Santa Ana or Ciudad Colon are better for Swimming pools but there are still many pools in Escazu . Many pools are solar heated often just with simple black tubing.

As a rough guide the rainfall reduces going from East to West. In other words Escazu has a little more rain than Santa Ana. It is very unusual to have rain in the morning so even in the Rainy Season you can play Tennis or Golf most mornings .
We can find a Luxury Home  on the Golf course or close to Tennis .
Everything  is a short  drive away in this area .If there is traffic normally it moves fairly quickly . The New Highway passing

There are nature reserves in both Escazu and Santa Ana . You can even live in one in Santa Ana and have spectacular views surrounded by beautiful forest .Some people consider this as ideal climate ,cooler and dryer .This is at 1100 to 1200Mts of altitude.

The New Highway passing through Escazu and Santa Ana will speed up your journey to the West Coast to under an hour .
There are reportedly more per capita Americans buying property here and ,living and retiring than any other Foreign Country in the world. Don’t you think it is worth a look at Real Estate in Costa Rica. Whatever your nationality you will be welcome and have the same rights as Costa Ricans.
