Located just to the west of Santa Ana and Escazu, Ciudad Colon is the final frontier; a piece of old Costa Rica, combining the everyday conveniences of restaurants, banks, and shops as new development creeps in, with the true feeling of a typical Costa Rican town. As most quintessential Costa Rican towns go, Ciudad Colon’s center wraps around a community park, church and soccer field, and spills out on either side with the perfect combination of sodas (local restaurants where you will likely find a family cooking typical Costa Rican meals), bars, small town shops and services, and residential neighborhoods on the outskirts. It is still a walking town, where walking from home to the grocery store, or even the corner store, is still a reality. It is still a place where, like Cheers, everybody knows your name.
Ciudad Colon is close enough to the modern-day hustle and bustle of the city and the more populated suburbs of Escazu and Santa Ana, while truly feeling a world apart. The geography of the area is quite unique, with the mountains to the east, which are host to a number of gated communities like Cerro Colon, Altamira and others, and to the west, you will find the breathtaking canyon and mountains of El Rodeo. This area is quickly becoming a destination for the outdoor enthusiast seeking a breath of fresh air, taking advantage of the newly designed Senderos Colon. Senderos Colon, designed by the owners of the land to offer an escape for bikers, runners, hikers and dog lovers, an escape from the city that while just minutes away, takes them a world apart.
Ciudad Colon is the ideal destination for those who work in San Jose or the western suburbs, but seek a more unique, down to earth lifestyle. Real estate opportunities in this area include lots or homes in gated communities, newer condominiums, as well as a handful of irreplaceable, timeless estates on the outskirts of town ideal for those looking to take a step back to what once was.
