I'm gathering info on these areas and am open to others. I am looking for what to expect, cost-wise, for casita, and studio/one bedroom apartment rentals on a long term basis. A super Mercado or two nearby enough for a person who walks everywhere to be able to function etc..... I'm looking to share in your wisdom, if there are better areas please make me smarter.......... Gracias!

I just soent 3 months in Volcán. There are about 5 mercados in this tiny town. Not a whole lot to do there though. Not an abundance of rentals in my opinion.
You are a 90 bus ride from David. The temperature of Volcán is perfect. Rainy season it will rain every afternoon. Dry season is often horribly windy.
I walked everywhere in Volcán. It is very nice, but in the long term, little to do there.

Volcan has grown a lot in the last 4 years. We disagree with what Janet said. If you are an outdoor/nature person there is a ton of things to do! If you are into night life that is not the place for you.
David has everything you would want, airport,shopping, hospitals, close to beaches and Costa Rica border, although for us, a tad too hot.

For affordability, these are two great areas.
Good luck!

Thanks Janet119 and sailcompania for your replies. Are there any ways I can access online avenues of classifieds etc... That would have listings of Casitas and Apartments that are for rent, (on the low side), not a rich guy.
