Is there a lot of crime in Escazu?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"Crime is something that is always concerning no matter where you live. In our area, there are home invasions. We had this in Miami too. We are not flashy with jewelry (I only wear a simple silver wedding band). Petty theft seems to be an issue so many people have gates around their homes. I really hate this. We have been lucky so far with no incidents," said another expat in Escazu, Costa Rica.
"Crime in Escazu is generally low, and rates of violence, robbery, and assault are generally below the national and regional averages," wrote a member who made the move to Escazu, Costa Rica.
