Residential Communities in Costa Rica

The real estate market in Costa Rica beach towns is breaking records again in 2020 and looks to set a new record in 2021. The real estate market in the central valley on the other hand is seeing a contraction, making it for the first time in over a two decades a buyers market. Two-thirds (2/3rd) of Costa Rica's nationals live and work in the central valley and this is where most commerce and industries are concentrated. While the number of national buyers has dropped significantly, buyers from Europe, Canada, and South America continue to invest in real estate in Costa Rica for business or personal reasons in very healthy numbers.

Selected Residential Gated Communities:

SURF BEACH & LAKE COMMUNITY

Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Set along Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast, ninety minutes from San José International Airport, this 865-acre master-planned community pairs Pacific beachfront with more than 150 acres of interconnected freshwater lakes — a configuration that has no real precedent on the country's coast. Thirteen distinct neighborhoods divide the master plan into a deliberate mix of condominiums, townhomes, and single-family building lots, ranging from beachfront residences to lake-edge homes and forest-interior sites. The location anchors a globally recognized surf break and one of Costa Rica's most active sea turtle nesting beaches. Buyers benefit from full infrastructure already in place at every lot, a North American–style financing program available to qualifying foreign nationals, and access to a network of themed membership clubs that organize daily life inside the gates.

NICOYA BLUE SANCTUARY

Playa Pajaros, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Imagine waking up to birdsong instead of traffic, spending afternoons on your own deck spending slow afternoons on your own deck surrounded by forest, and knowing your neighbors by name, not because you have to, but because you actually want to. That's not fantasy. That's what's waiting for you in Paquera, a hidden corner of Costa Rica's legendary Blue Zone, where 11 premium lots sit quietly among protected forest and marshland, just 1 km from Playa Pájaros and 2.5 hours from the capital. Each homesite averages over 2,800 m² (0.69 acre), with several lots up to nearly 4,000 m² (0.98 acre) of pure possibility, enough space to think, enough privacy to breathe, enough connection to feel part of something real. You're surrounded by nature, yet Río Grande (groceries, supermarkets, school, restaurants) is only 2 km away, with broader services, including hospital, dentist, police and fire, in Paquera, 8 km away. Not stranded. Not overcrowded. Just perfect.

Pre-construction Homes! Ocean and Island View Community

Paquera, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Imagine waking up to ocean views, your feet steps away from pristine beaches, surrounded by lush forest—all without the tourist chaos that comes with other Costa Rican coastlines. This exclusive gated community on the Nicoya Peninsula puts you in one of the world's five Blue Zones, where locals live longer, healthier lives. You're just 400 meters from Playa Órganos, with 13 beaches within a 1–25 minute drive. Downtown is only 7 minutes away—supermarkets, restaurants, a 24-hour clinic, everything you need. But here's what makes this place special: it's genuinely peaceful. No overdevelopment. No mass tourism. Just genuine community. Choose your lot—ocean view, beach walk, or forest view—and build your dream home, or select from modern luxury designs already built. Rent it out, live in it, share it with family. The community fee? Just USD 100/month—the lowest in Costa Rica. This isn't just a property investment. It's a lifestyle.
