In the Vicinity
This page's purpose is to give a prospective investor or home owner a feel for
the area that Orchid Point Estates is located in, what is nearby and what store,
restaurants, etc. are around.
San
Jose - The downtown area of the capital is 45 minutes to an hour
away. Most foreign residents have no reason to go to San Jose regularly. For
those who enjoy the arts, both the National Theater and the Melico Salazar
present year-round concerts, ballets, and operas. The former built in the
1890’s, modeled after the Opera de Paris, is probably one of Costa Rica's few,
well-maintained, cultural gems.
Escazu/Santa Ana Area - This is where an American or Canadian finds the stores
and restaurants they thought they had left behind. Multiplaza is Costa Rica's
largest mall with upscale stores. Their is also a Price Smart, an American style
big box store. Besides many Costa Rican and European restaurants there are the
American brands such as Tony Roma and TGIF and of course a McDonalds.
Multiplex - The largest mall in Costa Rica
is located just off the Santa Ana exit of the main hiway to San Jose. This
upscale two level mall boasts 246 shops, a supermarket, movie theaters and a
large food court. Department stores and shops include: Tommy Hilfiger, Liz
Claiborne, Kenneth Cole and Cemaco. Open everyday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm.
CIMA Hospital is a state-of-the-art, USA-Affiliated Medical Center now in Costa
Rica!
The hospital is a new and modern medical complex consisting of a spacious,
full-service, acute-care facility with an adjacent, seven-story, medical office
building.
CIMA
San Jose Hospital is affiliated with Baylor University Medical Center
in Dallas, Texas, and managed by International Hospital Corporation of Dallas,
Texas.
PriceSmart - Modeled after Cosco in the
U.S., offers wholesale groceries and home products for card-carrying members.
Restaurants - A lot of variety from American
chain restaurants like Tony Roma and T.G.I.F. to the French restaurant, Le
Monastere. There are also numerous fast food outlets
Golf Courses - About 40 minutes from Orchid Point Estates is Parque Valle del
Sol. This course was designed by Tracy May.
According to the local Titlest representative: "May designed the layout to be
challenging and fair under most conditions, and downright tough when the winds
come swirling down from the surrounding mountains. The rolling hills, mature
trees and the surrounding mountains and bird sanctuary create a great setting
for golf."
The Cariari Country Club is about one hour away and has a magnificent course
designed by George Fazio.
All purchases will be on a first
come first serve basis.
