Thank Jason. I really appreciate your input. I was saddened at the thought that the place that I was so looking forward to retiring to was as bad as stated in the Craigslist listing.

Jason,

I recently ran across a listing on Craigslist advocating boycotting Moran Real Estate in the Lake Arenal area. In addition to talking about real estate scams common to the area it went on to talk about the runaway crime rate (theft, burglary, muggings, etc.), corrupt police forces and an overall lack of police protection around Lake Arenal and falling property values as a result of these things.

I am strongly considering retiring to the Lake Arenal area and I was wondering if any of this is true. I am planning a trip with my family but I do not want to expose them to a dangerous situation.

Any information that you could provide would b greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike Leon

Jason,

Is there much rental property around Lake Arenal? My wife and I are planning a trip there next year and I am looking for something for a month to a month and a half.

Also, do you know approximately what rentals in that area would run?

Thanks,
Mike Leon

Thank you Jason. So then you do not get to import one vehicle duty free when you first move to Costa Rica?

While this is not a new car question I am interested in knowing how expensive it is to bring a car into the country at the time that you move in.

Also, do you happen to know if American car parts are available or better yet if there is a Chrysler dealer?
