No matter your age or what stage of your life you are in, moving to Costa Rica from the USA is an exciting adventure and could be the right choice for you! If you find yourself feeling a little uninspired by your everyday life, Costa Rica is somewhere that you’ll never be bored. No matter where in the country you relocate to, you’ll find there are endless outdoor activities to keep you entertained. If you are looking to spend more time in nature and immerse yourself in a new culture, a move to Costa Rica is something that would be well worth considering.
More Affordable Lifestyle
One of the top reasons that people move overseas is that they know they can get better value for money when buying property. No matter your current budget or the type of property you are looking for, you’ll find that Costa Rica offers exceptional value when compared to the USA. You could opt to purchase a luxury home like Casa Symbiotica in Flamingo or invest in a new build such as Casa La Fortuna. We’ll work with you to find the perfect property for your family’s needs. Many people move to Costa Rica from the USA for the winter and then return home in the summer. You’ll find there are many lock-up-and-leave properties on offer as well, which you can feel secure leaving empty when you are gone.
As well as the cost of the property, you’ll find that your everyday living costs are significantly cheaper. If you need work done on your new home, labor will be something that’s much more affordable than at home. Medical care, transportation, fresh produce, and cell phone plans are all much more reasonable than in the USA. If you are working remotely for a company in the USA, you’ll have no issue making your current salary work for you in Costa Rica. You’ll enjoy a better quality of life without draining your bank account each month.
Focus on Your Health
If we all learned anything in the past two years, it’s that health is wealth. For anyone who wants to live a more active and healthier life, we couldn’t think of anywhere better to go than Costa Rica. When you move to Costa Rica, you might be surprised by the standard of healthcare. People here often live to 100 years old, particularly in the Nicoya Peninsula. The lifestyle of Costa Rica helps to support a long and healthy life, as it’s much less stressful and pressured than life in the USA. If you are struggling to find balance in your current life, a move to Costa Rica from the USA might be the change you need.
The climate in Costa Rica is much better than many places in the US, which certainly helps with both your mental and physical health. It’s much cheaper and easier to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, so you can enjoy nutritious and filling meals each day. Without spending a fortune, you can invest in your medical and dental care and ensure you look and feel your best for many years to come. Costa Rica is known for the Pura Vida lifestyle, which encourages a much slower pace of life than in the US. You’ll find everyone is much more laid-back and isn’t looking to rush from place to place. You’ll feel that your stress soon disappears after a few months here, which is why so many people stay here forever.
Ideal for Remote Workers
Prior to the recent pandemic, one of the biggest concerns about a move to Costa Rica from the USA was finding work. The great news is that many companies are allowing people to work remotely. Costa Rica is in a similar time zone to a lot of the USA, so you won’t have to worry about working strange hours that interrupt your family life. The internet has improved a lot in Costa Rica over the years. It’s no longer as slow or patchy as it once was, particularly in the areas we offer properties within. You could wake up every day in this Ocean View Luxury villa and enjoy spending your lunch breaks in the swimming pool that comes with the home.
Escape the Cold Winter Weather
One of the biggest criticisms about certain places in the USA is how cold it gets in the winter months. If you are looking to enjoy a warmer climate year-round, Costa Rica is the place to be. The good news is that if the area you live in does have a period of rain or cooler weather, you can just temporarily relocate elsewhere at any time of the year to find your perfect climate. While there is sometimes a fair bit of rain in Costa Rica, many locals grow to love this as it breaks up the hot weather. Most areas don’t ever require heating, which will be a blessing for anyone relocating from the north of the USA or Canada.
For beach lovers, you can spend the whole year outdoors in the sun if you like. Who wouldn’t want to swim every day of the year? This is such a rare thing in most countries today, but it’s why Costa Rica is such a great place to relocate to. Residents find that their mental health improves when they experience less gloomy days, which is particularly important for anyone who struggles in the winter months. You’ll be excited to get outdoors and exercise each day after work, adding to the healthier lifestyle you can experience in this beautiful country.
