"The cost of living in Puerto Viejo, is relatively affordable compared to many Western countries. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite economical, while outside the city center, it can be even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also quite reasonable. Groceries in Puerto Viejo can be inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce at lower prices. Eating out at an inexpensive restaurant is also quite affordable, while a three-course meal for two people at a mid-range restaurant can be a bit more expensive. Public transportation in Puerto Viejo is quite cheap, with a one-way ticket on local transport being very affordable. However, owning and maintaining a car can be more expensive due to the cost of gasoline and car maintenance. Healthcare in Puerto Viejo is also quite affordable, especially when compared to costs in the United States. However, it's important to note that the cost of living can vary greatly depending on lifestyle and personal spending habits. In general, while Puerto Viejo is one of the more affordable places to live in Costa Rica, it's still more expensive than other Central American countries. However, its natural beauty, relaxed lifestyle, and friendly community make it a popular choice for expats and retirees," wrote a member who made the move to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
