Guanacaste, Costa Rica's "Up & Coming" Areas for Real Estate (2024)

Where can you find the "opportunities" on the Guanacaste, Costa Rica real estate market? Here's a hint! You won't find great prices in areas with paved highways, lots of infrastructure and huge expat communities, due to the demand for real estate in those places (such as Playa Tamarindo, Nosara, Jaco, etc.).
Join us as we Matt explores the areas south of Playa Junquillal, toward Playa San Juanillo, including Playa Marbella, Venado and other Costa Rican communities that haven't been overdeveloped, some of the lesser-known yet promising areas of Guanacaste. Away from the hustle and bustle of heavily developed beach areas, these spots offer the perfect blend of tranquility, pristine nature, and excellent investment potential.
We start out at Playa Junquillal, where paved highways meet with unpaved roads, leading to unique investment opportunities. We then venture south, into the heart of the real Guanacaste, experiencing the true charm of local communities and their vibrant fishing towns.
In Playa Venado, for example, we drive past an absolutely enormous Costa Rica home for sale: cbpacificrealty.com/property/...
As well as quaint, affordable home listed for $249,000: cbpacificrealty.com/property/...
As we journey to Playa San Juanillo, with its whale's tail-shaped beach, we see places with find attractive ocean-view condos at surprisingly affordable prices, perfect for those seeking exclusive living experiences. Here is the listing link to the ocean view condo we mention: cbpacificrealty.com/property/...
Here's another listing in that area, an ocean view home for sale just above Playa Azul and San Juanillo, for $690,000 with perfect privacy: • Unique Costa Rica Hous...
And we finally conclude with the exquisite Villa Claire, an unparalleled Costa Rica luxury home: cbpacificrealty.com/property/...
We also pass Playa Marbella, a captivating destination that remains relatively undiscovered. Embracing advanced surfers from around the world, Marbella boasts gated communities with ocean-view lots at remarkably reasonable rates. Experience the allure of Costa Rica's untouched landscapes as you explore exclusive luxury listings tucked away in private communities.
If you're seeking affordable real estate with the potential for exceptional returns on investment, some of these beach communities Guanacaste, Costa Rica could be the destination for you.

Feel free to post a Google Maps pin and the price here!

[@1ring2rule3pigs]

Well, I guess you'd be the one to ask.... Since you're selling, do you feel the real estate bubble is about to burst? Or has it already happened??

[@lousconicell5182]

is it still available, if so what is the asking

the only downside to any investment, real estate or otherwise, is always "someday, could be"

[@Reefersurfer]

Any thoughts/feedback on the Coyote / San Miguel beaches as a good opportunity?

[@CostaRicaMatt]

That whole area is unbelievably beautiful! I am gathering more knowledge on the market down there and so I really don't know where prices stand. Yes, I am sure they are relatively good opportunities because the prices should be lower than what you're paying in developed areas. Yes, those places are just spectacular. I have no idea what their trajectory will be and for the moment would definitely recommend them to people who want to be in a very quiet area!

Buy property in Costa Rica because you love it and you want to contribute to the local economy. Not to make money and fill up your foreign bank account

[@marktolman1465]

Realtors down in Nosara have been convincing foreign buyers for more than 2 decades that it would become the 'next Tamarindo'. The prophecy self-fulfilled to some extent with so many falling prey to the kind of advice given in this video, yet it's still a nothing town, middle of nowhere, with no real infrastructure to support it. 45 minutes of the last hour and a half drive down from the nearest semi-civilized town is still on broken roads, and probably always will be. People have wasted millions down there, only so see the place being overdeveloped and without any new infrastructure being paid for Municipally. Many of these people that were sold this same 'dream' are trying to sell up and leave for....... the actual 'real' Costa Rica, with roads, supermarkets, banks, hospitals, restaurants, gas stations, and on.

[@surfing.4ever]

if you don't participate or attend the community meetings then you have no idea about the improvements that are coming. Yes, Nosara has issues as well as any other coastal communities. Don't expect the government to do much. Nosara will never be like Tamarindo because of the wildlife refugee laws but it will grow like crazy, nobody can't stop that. It is still the best place in Guanacaste in my opinion. People come and leave for different reasons. Nosara is not paradise, no place is. The Nosara community is very strong, they just built an amazing skatepark FREE for the public, there is a huge project called "Become Nosara" being built now, and we have lots of restaurants, tennis, and very soon pickleball counts as well. But I will tell you this, I went to Playa Venao in Panama (6 hours away from the capital) and the roads were absolutely incredible! this is something that Costa Rica falls behind.

[@CostaRicaMatt]

I'd actually ask you to cite which specific quotes you mean when you say the "advice given in this video" - I think I present a pretty realistic expectation of what the area means. When you refer to "the actual 'real' Costa Rica" as the parts of the country with roads, supermarkets, banks, hospitals, restaurants, gas stations and on, I think it shows that you haven't visited huge swaths of the rural areas of this country. I spent 2008-10 in a town that was far more isolated than most of the towns I passed in this video. And the town I lived in for those years was the first up a road into the mountains - there were half a dozen smaller towns beyond that, in absolute isolation. There is a vast % of Costa Rica with awful roads, distant access to amenities etc. I call it "the real Costa Rica" and try to make it clear it's not about to change overnight...
