We were excited to be moving into our new "home" in Roca Verde, Atenas. We rented the lower unit of a duplex for 3 months since our plan was to go to Ecuador in May for 4 to 6 weeks. We are exploring different countries in order to determine where we would prefer to spend 7 to 8 months of the year.
Our new home is small and perfect for just the two of us. We have a pool and the view is great! We are happy that it is walking distance to the center of town.

We also have a nice terrace and a rancho with a BBQ.
I have read many books on the subject, I read the english newspaper “Tico Times” and I have toured the country once. I need to know some of the things that are distasteful about living there. Most of what I read is about the positives but you never know about the negatives until you’re in the middle of them. If you know some of them, tell me.
I have been living in Costa Rica for about a year and a half but have been in and out the country frequently since 1989 and based my extensive travel throughout the country in conjunction with my “Boomers in Costa Rica Retirement Tours,” I’ve found that there are still inexpensive areas in which to live, particularly if you stay away from the close-in suburbs of San Jose.
