For years, the east side of San Jose was the slowest growing area of the Central Valley. That was because most of the foreigners moving to Costa Rica had never heard of Curridabat. And even less its neighborhoods and subdivisions like Freses, urbanizacion Abedules, Cipreses, Guayabos, Hacienda Vieja, Lomas del Sol and Los Faroles.

Real estate development
Large properties were privately owned and real estate developers needed large capital to develop these areas.

Our affiliate partner has a great inventory of Curridabat homes for sale in these residential areas.
Traffic
The Zoning plan for Curridabat is very clear about commercial real estate. Such as areas around the National Register, Multiplaza del Este, Plaza del Sol, Indoor Club are all regulated. Those are the larger commercial areas and zoning organizes commercial areas in each neighborhood. The Municipality understands that the only way to stop traffic from growing faster, is to stop the residents from having to go outside their own neighborhood to purchase the day to day necessities. The larger malls will give you plenty of options for you shopping and you will find many restaurants throughout the city.

Schools

You will find lots of other bi-lingual schools on the East side of San Jose like the SEK, Marian Baker School, Saint Benedict and Yorkin School.
