Rental Properties: Central Valley
The Central Valley is in the geographic center of Costa Rica, home of San Jose, the nation's capitol, and mostly urban with many towns and villages up in the mountains and off the beaten path. The provinces of San Jose, Cartago, Heredia and Alajuela make up this region that is more defined by the valley between 2 prominent mountain ranges than it is by map boundaries. The Central Valley is home to the greater share of the country's population and is the center of commerce in Costa Rica. With that comes a burgeoning infrastructure that offers all modern conveniences, world class health care, shopping, culture and nightlife - all while still being typically Costa Rica. Some of the more popular destinations are Escazu with the famous Multiplaza shopping complex, the world class CIMA hospital along with a plethora of specialty clinics and doctor's offices. Or you could settle in an upscale golf community like Cariari, or perhaps a wonderful mountain town like Atenas, Grecia or San Ramon where you are up out of the urban fray in timeless tranquility, but still close to the action. There are homes, villas, condos and town homes of all kinds and price ranges for short and long term rental.
