Household Expenses
Household expenses can range from very cheap to relatively expensive, and are generally equivalent to what many pay in the United States. In Costa Rica, the key to the household budget is whether a home operates under American or Costa Rican standards – American luxuries come at a considerable premium.
FAQs
What is the cost of living in Costa Rica?
Housing, services and medical care in Costa Rica are much cheaper than in North America; an individual can live comfortably here on $1500 per month, but a lot depends on personal preferences. It’s feasible to live frugally in a one-bedroom apartment with no car for $750 per month, but it is equally possible to live large on more than $3000 monthly.
