Hi,
Me and my girlfriend have been trying to figure out where we should live now for a while which has proven to be really difficult. Costa Rica is, however, a very promising candidat and we're planning on visiting in January to see how we like it.
Anyway, at a first glimpse I thought finding good hospitals (health care) and a house/apartment that isn't too expensive would be fairly easy. Having done some research it seems to be a lot harder, which has led me to this post.
What I'm wondering is if there's anywhere in Costa Rica where I could live with the following conditions:
- Good healthcare/hospital nearby
- Not too far from the beach (I want to be able to take a bike there)
- Modern apartment/house with at least 2 bedrooms (AC, pool)
- Gym nearby or included in the complex (might eventually get my own)
- Monthly rent not higher than $1000
While buying a house seems really cheap, renting seems incredibly expensive if you want a modern standard (well what's modern here, perhaps luxuary over there).
Is there anywhere I could live with the above criteria or how much would I have to pay?
