Generaly a $150,000 will buy you a 1000 sq foot condo unfurnished maybe with appliances. Costa Rica is a wonderful place to live I have been here 11 years. I think most of these writers when discussing living costs just ae not correct or honest. Look Carefuly at costs in all aspects. If you live in a beach area. I as a Real Estate broker admit our properties tend to be in the middle to high end but $350 a month is very misleading. http://www.costaricarealtyone.com
