"The cost of living in Dominical is considered to be relatively affordable compared to many places in the world. Housing costs are generally low, with rentals for small homes or apartments often being quite reasonable. Utilities such as electricity and water are also typically inexpensive, although this can vary depending on usage. Groceries can be bought at a lower cost, especially if you choose to buy local products and fresh produce from farmers markets. Eating out at local restaurants is also quite affordable, but prices can increase significantly at more upscale dining establishments. Healthcare in Dominical is also relatively affordable, especially when compared to costs in countries like the United States. Public healthcare is available and private healthcare is also an option at a higher cost. Transportation costs are generally low, especially if you use public transportation. Owning a car can be more expensive due to the cost of petrol and maintenance. Overall, while the cost of living in Dominical is lower than in many places, it's important to remember that wages and salaries are also generally lower in Costa Rica. Therefore, while costs may seem low to foreigners, they may not be as low for locals," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Dominical, Costa Rica.
