Costa Rica: The Switzerland of the Americas
By Jane Goodwin | July 18, 2007
Costa Rica, with its its lush rainforests, majestic volcanoes, underwater marvels, jungle trails, craggy mountain chains, endless miles of pristine coastline, thousands of species of wildlife and weather that is described as “eternal spring” with temperatures averaging 82 degrees, is one of the world’s most desirable destinations. This “Switzerland of the Americas” is noted for its non-military government, stable economy, peace-loving people, and clear clean air. In Costa Rica, anyone can purchase property, including retirees and other expats. Investing in Costa Rica is very attractive right now, and individuals, as well as big and small businesses, are finding it very aesthetically and financially attractive to invest here.
The natural beauty, pleasant climate, and friendly people of Costa Rica are luring investors from around the globe. Land values in Costa Rica have been steadily rising over the past 10 years, and there is every reason to believe it has only just begun for this tropical destination. Costa Rica’s past growth, and obvious future growth ensure that retirees and other investors will continue to enjoy an excellent return on their investments and re-sale market. When comparing Costa Rica property on a global level, one finds property in Costa Rica to still be far cheaper than any similar tropical destination, for now. Solar and wind power, in many communities, further increases the aesthetic and fiduciary value of many homes.
Retirees, and even young families, who buy Costa Rican land now will find their quality of living far exceeds their wildest dreams.
