Buying a Home in Playa Potrero

Potrero appeals to people who want a quieter base than Flamingo or Tamarindo but still want cafes, small markets and restaurants they can reach on foot. Families, retirees, remote workers and boat owners all buy here, and many residents walk the shoreline to the marina.

When comparing homes, think about whether you want to be on the bay, in the walkable center or up the hill for a wider view. Ask our agents how close each property is to the beach and to daily shopping, and whether it sits in a gated neighborhood.
