The eastern suburb of Curridabat is located a few kilometers downtown of San Jose. The city is home to many government buildings and offices. You will be able to find several foreign consulates, embassies, bilingual schools and corporate apartments in the Curridabat suburbs. The residents of this city are mostly foreigners and expats, living in a variety of beautifully built housing areas and upscale mansions. The quaint town has various shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants, entertainment venues, movie theaters and a beautiful church at the center of the plaza.
The city of Curridabat is the capital of the Curridabat Canton and one of the oldest towns of Costa Rica. A developing industrial zone, Curridabat is a part of the great Metropolitan area. You will find brand new developments and great affordable residential areas in the city with access to downtown San Jose.
While driving at the Interamerican Highway you will have to pass through the city of Cartago to reach the city of Curridabat. The route is well marked and you will be able to reach the city without any hassle. You can also easily take a scheduled bus from San Jose or any other major area of Costa Rica for the city and disembark at your destination.
There are quite a few accommodation options available in the Curridabat neighborhood. Hotels and apartments here are moderately priced and warmly decorated with a Tico flavor. Apart from the spectacular mountain views and clam environment, the apartments offer various facilities including tennis courts, sports complex and bike paths.
Shopping fanatics would love Plaza del Sol, the first U.S style mall in San Jose while the more creative at mind can visit the National Artisan Street Market and the newly developed International Market of Arts and Crafts. The city is also host to the prestigious University of Costa Rica. It is mainly due to the cultural activities of the UCR that the wealthiest of the Tico families have chosen Curridabat as their home.
With the downtown San Jose so close by, Curridabat is a great place to live in. Not just that but you can also breathe easy while enjoying the fresh climate and the tropical weather. Since the prevailing winds are directed from over the Central Valley, from the east to the west, the contaminated air is blown away leaving behind a clean atmosphere.
