Welcome to
Curridabat
Over the past decade, while there has been a move by some in this area into the western suburbs.
It is without a doubt one of the fastest-growing destinations both for residential
and commercial growth in the Central Valley.
Located on the eastern part of San Jose, Curridabat is strategically located in the center of the residential and urban activity. With a cooler, low-humidity, spring-like climate year-round. This temperate environment draws buyers seeking Central Valley infrastructure and closeness to main executive areas.
Being one of the strongest real estate markets in the province, Curridabat real estate still shows strong signals of developing infrastructure and upscale residential communities such as Monteran, Hacienda El Gregal, and Colinas de Montealegre, with lively neighborhoods full of locals, families, and Costa Ricans who have built their lives around the epicenter of the city.
