Our Living in Costa Rica Guide is a primer on everything about living in Costa Rica: best places to live, cost of living, pros and cons, healthcare and insurance, and more.

Living in Costa Rica offers a refreshing change with its emphasis on family, friendships, and a slower pace of life, away from consumer-driven pressures. Expats appreciate the simplicity and community-focused lifestyle, where kindness and adaptability are valued over material wealth. The cost of living can be manageable, but lifestyle choices significantly impact monthly expenses, with many retirees finding a comfortable life within a budget of $2,000 per month.
