There are many types of new lifestyles that we dream of in retirement. We cannot forget the comfort aspect we need as well. One will be poorly served to follow your dream of living in a remote area for the sake of nature and privacy when in reality,it all gets old after a while if things are uncomfortable.

Here is an example of an area that matches up well for Costa Rica retirement location.
 
Given the increasing commercial development in Perz Zeledon, the need for more space had became obvious.  It therefore, has extended it’s growth and development to areas of Palmares.

The growth there has increased dramatically in recent years, with the creation of shopping malls,  supermarkets, large warehouses and all sorts of stores and  banks making it unnecessary to come to downtown Perez Zeledón for service.  A nice little Pueblo and a nice benefit is the cost of living is held intact.

Being located on Inter-American Highway makes it an ideal place for a development because it is a crossing point for travelers who go to the  border with Panama and other countries. The palmares area until a few years ago was a rural place where the  principal activity was the agriculture and the cattle farming. All of this has changed. The land that was used for this activity i snow being used for industrial and development.

This has made Perez Zeledon into a small capital for the south region of our country, where you can do almost everything with out having to travel to San Jose. Thanks to the extension of trade and to the all the big companies such as the  Coca Cola, Dos Pinos , La Cerveceria and Codesur have located their  companies in the area of the Palmares.  All of these contribute to make palmares an serious growth area.

We will be happy to arrange a Lifestyle Property Tour to help identify your best retirement location that matches your lifestyle,personal and budget needs.
