A few things worth knowing about the country you’re buying into. Costa Rica abolished its military in 1949 and has run as a stable democracy ever since — one reason it draws both tourists and long-term investors. Tourism is the economic engine, and it’s steady: the country is a reliable international draw year after year.
It’s also one of the greenest places on earth, literally. On just 0.03% of the planet’s surface, Costa Rica holds roughly 6% of the world’s biodiversity, and it protects 25.58% of its own territory as conservation land. That’s not a brochure line — it’s why beachfront here still backs onto rainforest instead of strip malls, and it shapes what can and can’t be built near the coast.
For buyers, the same stability that draws visitors makes it a serious place to own: a well-educated workforce, modern services, and a political climate that doesn’t keep investors up at night.
