Is the cost of living in Escazu high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Escazu, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Escazu is generally higher than in other parts of Costa Rica, but is still relatively affordable compared to other popular expat destinations in Latin America," remarked another expat in Escazu, Costa Rica.

"This is probably the number one question that people ask. Honestly, there is no "correct" answer to this because everyone has different needs. All I can say is Costa Rica is NOT as cheap as it used to be. It is one of the more expensive destinations but it is still much cheaper than the US. Housing, taxes, maid service, drivers, medical...these items are significantly less. Food, utilities, gasoline, dining out....can be close to US prices in an affordable city. Shopping at the "feria" for produce is your best bet for keeping costs very low," said a member in Escazu, Costa Rica.
