Happy News About Costa Rica

The “Happy Planet” report from New Economics Foundation, ranks the sunny, fun-loving Costa Rica the number one place in the world to live.
Their comprehensive new report, which compares nations according to their populations’ life expectancies, life satisfaction, and ecological footprint, combining all of the factors to create a “Happy Planet Index” score, ranks the sunny, fun-loving Costa Rica as the number one place in the world to live, followed by the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Guatemala, Vietnam, Colombia, El Salvador, Brazil, and Honduras to round out the top ten. 

“Pura vida is a popular expression in Costa Rica which is used somewhat like the English term ‘cool,’” says the report. “It translates literally as ‘pure life’ and represents in itself an attitude to what is important.”  Costa Ricans and the rest of the happiest countries base their fulfillment levels on more elemental questions: How green is my lifestyle? How much time do I spend with my family and friends? How often do I do the things I love? 

Whether or not you feel like packing up your life and making a move to Central America, we can all probably learn a few lessons from the happiest nations about what we need to do to get our priorities in order.

We are experiencing a very interesting trend of more and more people inquiring about luxury homes and million dollar homes in Costa Rica, both for sale and for rent. Recently a client from Canada bought a very nice property in Escazu with the most magnificent city views, extensive grounds and a very nice luxury home, a client from Russia rented with an option to buy a million dollar home with manicured gardens and centennial trees; a client from the United States bought a multimillion dollar home with state of the art amenities and ultra luxurious finishes over a total construction area of more than 20,000 sq.ft. A client from Hong Kong wants to buy a estate of distinction, one non comparable to anything else she owns in other countries of the world.... Clients from different parts of the world with different needs and desires, but with a common goal: own property in Costa Rica, live a new life experience and enjoy it!
