Buying a Home in Playa Flamingo

Playa Flamingo works as well for full-time families as it does for seasonal owners, with restaurants, a marina, a medical clinic and several schools within a short drive. Titled beachfront property exists but comes up rarely, so many buyers weigh an ocean-view home on the hill against a condo or a lot closer to the sand.

When you compare homes, look at the view corridor, the walk or drive to the beach and marina, and whether the property sits inside a gated neighborhood. Foreign buyers hold the same rights as Costa Rican citizens when buying titled property, and our team can explain how that works before you make an offer.
