Roca Verde real estate in Atenas

A fine Atenas luxury gated community

Roca Verde gated community in Atenas is a fine luxury gated community. Homes in Roca Verde start as low as $250,000 and luxury homes start at $500K and go all the way up to almost $1M, depending on the views, the size of the home and the quality of the finishes. This beautiful gated community offers the best views in town and was developed in 2004 by master developer Jean Luc Sauvé and his partner Normand Bastien.

Roca Verde is located only two miles out of Atenas, where you have all the amenities and services you will be looking for when you move to Costa Rica. Located on an Atenas mountain range of 2,200 to 2,500 feet elevation, this community offers 75 home sites with lots varying from ¼ acre to 1 ¾ acres, in 3 phases. The community is not a condominium and there are no CC & R's but is legally a subdivision.

Location, location, location

If you plan to retire in Costa Rica and purchase Costa Rica real estate, you should get a good look at Roca Verde, one of the largest gated communities in Atenas. Roca Verde offers a lifestyle for you. Access is incredible good as you can drive to San Jose, by using the new highway San Jose – Caldera, just minutes away from Roca Verde, in more or less half an hour. You can reach the Central Pacific beaches by the same highway or taking the old road in much less than an hour.

There are several private and public hospitals within a 30 minute drive and there are plenty of Spanish language schools in the area. Atenas has it's own gym and even Yoga classes.

Roca Verde utilities and employees

The Roca Verde gated community offers a 24-hour guarded main gate and concrete roads. Roca Verde has its own water wells and a huge water reserve tank on top of the hill, so there are never any water problems. Most homes in Roca Verde have their own swimming pool. Power is above ground. Cable TV and internet access is available as well as phone service. Atenas offers a great supply for gardener and maid services.

Roca Verde views and weather

Most luxury homes in Roca Verde have great views, to the north and to the south, as that is what Atenas is all about. Atenas is known for having the best weather in the world and it doesn’t matter if this is true or not, it still beats the weather in Canada and most of the northern states in the US.

Since Roca Verde is a hilltop, the breezes keep the houses cool all year round and I don’t think anybody has an a/c in their house. Most homes in Roca Verde have only ceiling fans and good cross ventilation. Of course, if you insist on A/C, we’ll connect you with the right people with pleasure.

Roca Verde Neighbors

Most neighbors are originally from all over the world. I have heard at least 6 languages spoken at many of the get-togethers, bbq’s, fiestas and other fun things the neighbors organize.

You’d be surprised how fast you’ll be part of this community. The even have their own Facebook page, how many communities in Costa Rica have that?

Roca Verde Security

Costa Rica is a 3rd world country and once in a while we have security issues – mainly a simple break-in – and Roca Verde is not the exception. Many Roca Verde residents are snowbirds and live elsewhere half the year and just lock up their Roca Verde property for longer periods of time. We just want to make sure you realize that no one is exempt from robbery in Costa Rica or even in Roca Verde gated community.
