Located within the Santa Ana subdivision or “canton” of Costa Rica’s San José province, United Country Real Estate | Costa Rica Properties specializes in luxury homes, condominiums, waterfront properties, buildable land lots and mountain homes for sale.
We’re in Central Costa Rica, specifically in the country’s Central Valley West — an area that includes metropolitan San José and everything due west toward the Alajuela province, continuing through places such as Escazú and Santa Ana.
Our brokerage is ready and available to meet your needs as a buyer or seller across the region, as well as in some popular neighboring areas. Among other cities and towns, you’ll find our dedicated brokers and agents serving clients in the diverse canton of Escazú, the upscale neighborhood of Rohrmoser and places along the Central Pacific Coast in the province of Puntarenas. For the latter, the Puntarenas district, the canton of Garabito and its Jacó district have been very active markets.
Surrounded by mountains and volcanoes and featuring San José, the country’s most populated (and the capital) city, Costa Rica’s Central Valley is beloved for many reasons. The region offers a mix of dense urban areas and less-populated suburban ones, while also holding title as Costa Rica’s agricultural hub. An hour or so outside San José, you’ll find farmers producing coffee, fruits and vegetables, ornamental plants and other commodities for export.
Central Costa Rica’s vast natural beauty is also ideal for adventures in the great outdoors. Thirty minutes north of San José, Braulio Carrillo National Park offers some great hiking trails. Head a little farther west for Poás Volcano National Park. Or travel 1 ½ hours east of San José to marvel at Irazú Volcano National Park and the country’s highest volcano.
San José is the political and economic center of Costa Rica, and stands out with impressive museums, entertainment venues, parks, hotels and other attractions. Colorful, diverse and urban, the city should be on the itinerary of anyone visiting Costa Rica.
Then there are places such as the cantons of Santa Ana and Escazú, both Central Valley West affluent communities known for being “American-friendly” and welcoming to quite a few expats. These areas are generally safe and ideal for retirees and families who want convenience and modern amenities.
Alternatively, drive about 60 miles west of San José and you’ll reach the Central Pacific Coastline within the province of Puntarenas. Here, beautiful beaches abound. Some 40 different protected wilderness areas – including Manuel Antonio National Park and Carara National Park among others - call to outdoor enthusiasts. Here on the coast, Jacó is a mecca for surfers as well as being a lively beach town with tons of fun activities. Looking for a luxury gated community? Los Sueños Resort and Marina in Herradura fits the mold with its private beach club, 18-hole golf course and fishing charters.
