Known as the "Beverly Hills of Costa Rica," Escazú is the gold standard for luxury living in the Central Valley. Positioned along the scenic slopes of the Cerros de Escazú, this prestigious canton offers a sophisticated blend of cosmopolitan elegance, high-end infrastructure, and rich local history. It remains the top choice for foreign diplomats, corporate executives, and high-net-worth families seeking security and convenience.
