    Start with Grecia it is has the best climate and it is a wonderful place to start. Grecia is centrally located. We have some of the friendliest people in Costa Rica in Grecia. So look up Grecia and more specifically the surrounding area of San Roque de Grecia on the internet. San Roque is a nice little mountain town 2 km from Grecia central.

    I sure agree with what Scott has told you. We have someone here now that has to leave because their spouse is sick and they need to be in the US. The medical care is cheap but they do not have the money. In the US based on their retirement income they could get some assistance and medicare pays medical cost for most things except for medicines. Medicare will not any medical expenses incurred in Costa Rica.

    These people had the idea that if their home was paid for they could live on that retirement pension of $2,000. per month. Things happen, they got a loan on their property and now owe a mortgage because they needed money. Today they are trying to sell their property and move back to the US.

    It is a forced sell, they will be blessed if they sell it.
