We are currently in Atenas and have spent a month in Puriscal and would like to check out Grecia for 2012. We are looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom house with internet access. We would prefer a lower elevation – not up in the mountains where it tends to get quite cold. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
If you plan to spend a significant amount of time living in Grecia, I strongly suggest you don’t stay in the town center unless you are deaf:wink:
There is a good reason that expats DON’T live in the town center (with very rare exceptions).It never gets cold in the mountains unless you climb to the Poas volcano altitude, but if you really want to check the low altitudes around Grecia, you might look at “Bella Vista”, “Barrio Latino”, and “San Roque” neighborhoods.
I suggest avoiding “La Arena”, “La Argentina”, “Las Pilas” neighborhoods.
I also suggest you check the house yourself (or ask a local friend to do that for you) before you commit to a whole year lease.
There are several new developments on your way from MaxiBodega to San Roque (one of them is “Ingenio” and it always has somethimg for rent).
If you come during the low season, there will be plenty of houses for rent. If that’s the case, it might be a good strategy to come here and drive around the abovementioned areas. You can stay in one of many great hotels/B&Bs meanwhile.

Sometimes you can also see flyers in English (house for rent) at the MaxiBodega ad-board (to the left from the entrance).
Just to give you an idea, a very good Tico-style house will be around $350 monthly (unfurnished) or about $500 furnished. American-style house will be $500 and up (unfirnished) and $750 and up furnished.
