As a Tico, I really appreciate this video on rental tips and the cost of living in La Fortuna. La Fortuna is such a beautiful area with its amazing natural attractions and friendly community. Your advice on navigating the rental market and managing expenses is really practical and spot on. It's great to see useful information like this being shared to help people make the most of their stay in our wonderful country. Thanks for providing such valuable insights!
Thank you for the kind words. I had a great experience there. Now I am near Puerto Viejo....absolutely love it. Will be making a couple videos this week.... Take Care, Mark
I'm from small town Minnesota. I recommend doing 2 or 3 months in different areas...unless you really like or dislike?? San Ramon and Perez Zeledon are great Valley communities with perfect weather 👌 I'm in Puerto Viejo now and absolutely love it!! Not a beach person much...but the people are super chill!!! Happy Travels 😊
Just found your channel and really like your style I'm in a town called Tronadora near Tilarán on the other side of the lake from Fortuna. I found a similar situation where I pay about $500 month for a 3bd 1ba really nice house overlooking the lake. It was also a handshake deal with no deposit. I plan to be here awhile but also like you... looking for my happy place. I'll be checking out your other videos as it looks like you've already moved to Puerto Viejo which is way up on my must see list. Excellent advice in this video. Pura vida compañero
Well that's very interesting. I was in San Ramon for 3 years after I got out of the Escazú Santa Ana area, and absolutely loved it. Mainly because of the climate, it was so perfect. But also the excellent feria and access to all the major conveniences. I was just looking to get closer to the water which is why I moved. I really like it here but miss the milder climate. Very interesting to hear it's not too hot in Puerto
@stokes111100 Perez Zeledon has the same climate as San Ramon...45 minutes to Domincal. This side is less people...off season...and cheaper than the Pacific. I just popped another video..
There are a ton of options here, depending on your happy place. I'll be moving again in the near future? Look outside of only realtors....not enough commission for them in the rentals. Happy Travels 😊
I am in Oaxaca, Mexico. I don't mind the roosters or the dogs, but the firecrackers are driving me away. I plan on Costa Rica next month. Thanks for sharing this informaton.
Lol...I heard the same about he fireworks in Guatemala. Watch my Clanky Bridge short I just did. Not too many of them, but noisy as heck! Happy Travels 😊
@kimanipatterson2653 😆 🤣 😂 they can stay there...it's nice and relaxing here. I moved to Puerto Viejo 2 months ago. Got a furnished house 100 yards from the beach for $700 a month. No Chihuahuas 😉 Sold the car and bought a bike...back to basics. Happy Travels 😊 😃

Honestly I'd like the same thing as you. From Wisconsin and I'm looking to be down there for 6 months or so just to check out the place.

Heya...yup, been in Viejo a month and a half. Super chill...love it here. Much cooler than that area with the sesbreeze.

I heard the same thing about fireworks and Panama.
You look and sound really familiar 🤨🤨
I grew up in Minnesota, but have lived all over. Mark Kellin if that helps??
Looks like your trying to bring america to Costa Rica with your manicured yards and gated community with no Chihuahuas barking
