San José Neighborhoods of Los Yoses and San Pedro

Los Yoses and San Pedro

These residential neighborhoods are located east of downtown San José.  These are middle class neighborhods with both modern homes as well as more traditional middle class homes tucked behind gardens. 

Los Yoses has a quiet energy during the day and becomes very quiet at night.  San Pedro on the other hand is livier during the day and more so at night.  San Pedro is home to the University of Costa Rica with many students.  There are plenty of bars, clubs, and cheap restaurants.

As of this date homes in the San Pedro and Los Yoses areas cost anywhere from 62,000,000 to 128,000,000 colones.  The cost to rent is 486,000 to 665,000 colones per month for a house and 250,000 to 563,000 for an apartment.

Living in Costa Rica

There are many areas of Costa Rica to choose from.  The mountains, beaches, city, country, etc.  My intent is to help those interested in living in Costa Rica by providing valuable information.

The different areas of Costa Rica all have their distinct benefits.  The mountains are generally cooler and more rural, for example the average temperature in Monteverde is 16 - 20 degrees centigrade.  The temperature at the beaches may run 33 - 22 degrees centigrade.  When living in Costa Rica the temperature depends on your altitude, so if you live in the lowlands it is hotter than if you live in the mountains.  The Central Valley of Costa Rica is also good it can be both city and rural but the city is never far.  The temperature in the Central Valley of Costa Rica also varies with the altitude.  There are many desirable locations to live in the Central Valley.
