The town is centered around the Church and Central Park located right in the heart of town. The people of Costa Rica are very religious and are very family oriented.
The Central Park is a place where people come to sit and just enjoy the quiet atmosphere and beauty of the surroundings. This is also the place where community events take place such as the annual parades, and more.
On Fridays there is an open Farmer's Market where one can purchase outstanding fruits and vegetables among many other things at prices that would amaze you.
Atenas offers many other shopping opportunities for one to purchase all of their day to day needs at very reasonable prices. In addition, you will find many medical and dental clinics with excellent care facilities.
A couple of very important notes about Atenas:
In the 1990's it is claimed that National Geographic Magazine placed Atenas
as having the best climate in the world.
In mid 2010, AARP Magazine voted Atenas as the
3rd best place in the World to retire
With the recent opening of the new San Jose - Caldara Highway connecting San Jose to the Pacific coast, Atenas is now conveniently located less than 30 minutes away from the major medical care facilities and shopping areas of Escazu and Santa Ana, and about 1 hr to the Central Pacific Coast beaches. Recently, this facet has become to make it known that Atenas is getting to be a more logical place in which to live. “Why live in the city when Atenas is now so close” This will most certainly affect property values.
As we have shown, Atenas is a great place for you to consider for your new home in Costa Rica.
