Should I buy or rent a home in Manuel Antonio?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Manuel Antonio, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"The decision to buy or rent a home in Manuel Antonio, depends on your personal preferences, financial situation, and long-term plans. If you plan to stay in the area for an extended period and have the financial means, buying a home can be a good investment, as property values in the region have been steadily increasing. Owning a home also allows you to customize your living space and potentially generate rental income if you choose to rent it out when you're not using it. On the other hand, renting a home in Manuel Antonio offers more flexibility, as you can easily move if your circumstances change or if you decide to explore a different part of Costa Rica. Renting also allows you to avoid the responsibilities and costs associated with homeownership, such as property taxes, maintenance, and repairs. Additionally, renting can be a more affordable option in the short term, as you won't need to make a large down payment or secure a mortgage. Ultimately, the choice between buying and renting a home in Manuel Antonio depends on your individual needs and goals. It's essential to carefully consider your options and consult with a local real estate expert to make the best decision for your situation," explained one expat living in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.
