What advice to expats in Atenas have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Atenas about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Atenas advise that it's important to rent before buying a property. This allows you to get a feel for the area and understand the local property market. They also suggest hiring a reputable real estate agent who is familiar with the local market and can guide you through the process. It's also recommended to have a lawyer review any contracts before signing. Expats also advise that while Atenas is known for its pleasant climate, houses may not have heating or air conditioning, so it's important to consider how comfortable you'll be in the local climate. They also suggest considering the location of the property in relation to amenities such as shops, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. Some expats recommend living in a gated community for added security, while others prefer the freedom of a standalone property. Expats also advise being aware of the cost of utilities and maintenance, which can be higher than expected. They also suggest being prepared for potential issues with pests, as this can be a common problem in Costa Rica. Finally, expats in Atenas recommend learning some Spanish, as this can make dealing with property matters much easier," said another in Atenas, Costa Rica.
