"The cost of living in Playa Jaco is generally considered to be quite affordable compared to other beach towns in Costa Rica. While prices have been increasing, they are still lower than in the capital, San Jose," said another expat in Playa Jaco, Costa Rica.
"In Costa Rica, this is a difficult question as there are many different communities, some more popular with expats and others more with a local feel. You will certainly live comfortably at $2,000 per month. If you are renting, consider adding more to this amount. Again lifestyle is important to consider. High end dining and shopping, live concerts will be more expensive. Consider also these activities may not appeal to you upon retirement," wrote a member who made the move to Playa Hermosa de Jaco, Costa Rica.
