There’s something about Grecia. It’s just different. Once named “the cleanest city in Central America”, it still has the allure of being neat and tidy. Being only 25 km from the international airport in Alajuela makes it a convenient spot for both residential life and commerce. A notable and unique landmark is the church in the town square. It is clad in pre-fabricated steel plates that were manufactured in Belgium in the late 19th century.

Grecia and the surrounding area is an agricultural landscape with rolling foothills dotted with small welcoming communities that make this town a perfect setting to raise a family and live more affordably than in the greater metropolitan area of San Jose.

There are many conveniences and services here so there is no need to go to the city of Alajuela, but if you want to, the commute will take you about 40 minutes. However, living and working in Grecia would be perfect if you are the type of person that like to avoid crowds and heavy traffic. It may be said that living and making a living out in the country is good for the soul but there may be an essential service that may escape you here — reliable fast broadband Internet of Itellum.
