The eighth edition of ExpoCasa, the Costa Rican national housing exposition, kicks off Wednesday afternoon at the Centro de Eventos Pedregal in San Antonio de Belén, in Heredia, northwest of San José. The expo, which runs through Sunday evening, will feature over 250 stands with information on renting or buying a home or property, financing a home, and real estates agencies, as well as items for home construction and décor.

Fifty of the stands will be dedicated to housing and property offerings in different regions of the country, including the Central Valley, mountain areas and beaches. Jason Alvarado, the spokesperson for the expo, said the sales prices of the homes offered range from $49,000 to $560,000 and that 12 national banks will be on hand to provide interested home owners and buyers with financing options.

“The reason ExpoCasa has always been so helpful for visitors is that it allows them to take care of many of the steps involved in buying a house or property all at the same place,” Alvarado said. “It makes the entire process of home ownership much easier.”

As many as 14,000 people are expected to visit ExpoCasa during the five-day event.

ExpoCasa Schedule
Wednesday – 1 to 10 p.m.; Inauguration at 5 p.m.
Thursday – 1 to 10 p.m.
Friday – 1 to 10 p.m.
Saturday – 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sunday – 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Entry fee:
Wednesday through Friday: Free
Saturday and Sunday: ₡ 1,000; free for senior citizens and children under the age of 12.

I've stayed at CasaLisa twice & both visits were wonderful. Like all jungle homes, once you open up all the windows & doors, there's plenty of cross ventilation breezes. The private bedroom suites are massive, air conditioned (of course!), & each ...

The property is beautiful and the house was great for 3 couples. We loved hanging out by the pool and outdoor kitchen when we weren't at the beach. Definitely keeping this place in mind for future stays.

The house in San Buenaventura is an incredible place. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful place to stay in Costa Rica. It has all of the modern amenities you could ask for and then more.

This place was great. Uvita's beaches are protected parks so this place is about as close as you can possibly get to the beach. There are little restaurants walkable around the house. It is easy access to everything you need. The property was just...

Our stay at Gema Escondida was perfect! Our property manager, Josue, met us on the main road in order to drive us up the hill to the house on our first night. Do not underestimate the drive, you'll need a 4X4, but it is worth it once you see the v...

It was very good the house is comfortable and the pool is great, but I think it would be good to have TV via satellite at least and not only netflix or youtube. The wi-fi connection was not the best and the kolbi cellphones never worked in the area.
