- #retireinCostaRica #livinginCostaRica #assistedliving 'Live in Retirement Community in La Fortuna Costa Rica Assisted Living Jan 2023" Well, it's been a minute since we have had an UPDATE for Johnny's Retirement Community (Assisted Living) in La Fortuna Costa Rica. There is good reason for that. Which is all the legal crap that needs to be done before the bulldozers can move in. Well, it's been done. Water tested, environmental issues and all the red tape is just about finished. In this video we drive to Cartago for Johnny's surprise in regards to the retirement community. What could it be? Cartago is 4 1/2 hours away from La Fortuna so this surprise better be good.
- 7 different modular homes
- quality materials (life span of the homes are 100 years)
- they will be on stilts to be off the moisture of the ground in Costa Rica
- made to endure heavy rains, high humidity, earthquakes and mold.
- this company does A-Z (foundation, moves and builds the home, electrical, plumbing EVERYTHING, no middlemen messing things up.
- homes are ready in about 4 months (very fast for Costa Rica)
- since they are made in a warehouse, the rainy season does NOT delay your home

This is BIG, this is HUGE, Johnny has had this vision since 2007. Now the stars have aligned and it looks like this project is a really happening- 240 homes on like 110 hectare (1 hectare is 2.47 acres). This is going to be an almost all inclusive community. Organic farming, grass fed cows, chickens, vegetables, stores and also hotsprings in the community so the grand kids have something to do and much more. This community is about a 9 minute drive from La Fortuna central and about 20 minutes from Lake Arenal and it's in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano (good shot of this in the video). This is obviously a big project but it is going and we're pretty excited. Obviously much more info coming as it changes as I'm sure there will be many questions.... which we will try to answer as this community progresses. I am not trying to sell you anything I just believe this is an interesting and needed project and it is geared to gringos without the 'gringo pricing'... but remember, Costa Rica isn't for everyone but this project might appeal to some of you.
START HERE to find out if Costa Rica is right for you or not, so if you really want to get a good idea if Costa Rica is right for you- Check OUT these videos and you will know within the hour if you should pursue a life in Costa Rica or NOT. If you decide Costa Rica might be a good fit, maybe now is the time to contact us at- info@travelcostaricanow.com

This is fantastic!! What a wonderful option!
No 70 different people saying Mañana! Priceless!
WHAT ABOUT THE BARS ON THE WINDOWS or SECURITY
This is wonderful, good job to all involved!
thx for taking the time to say 😊
RTM's are great.
I realy like the style of the houses. 🇨🇷👍
Very cool!
This is an insightful video. I had no idea there were assisted living retirement communities here. This is wonderful news to share with friends and family. Fabulous job! I've heard wonderful things about Costa Rica. I definitely will visit in the near future. ❤❤
You dropped the ball man whats the price for each home?????? You do a vid on but no prices come on man!!!
Another great and informative video! Thank you all.
I know this video was geared toward the community, but just curious if there is a website for that company or if you know an average price for the models as is, without upgrades?
Thanks again for the great information.
BIG QUESTION, WHERE'S THE AC, UNIT, last year i WNET ONETIME IN IN TIBAS SAN JOSE TO See A NEW CONDO ABUT $150,000, i look where's the ac, unit, oh We don't have any, It was in the Samer days in C,R, it was hot inside that condo on the 6, floor , i told them no THANK YOU
Practical quality. Ready in a timely manner. Quality materials. On stilts. Same company from foundation to finished product. Not for everyone but as I get older, the 'practical' works for me. Thoughts? **Some folks in the comments seem a little confused on the way of the world or at least the way things are done in Costa Rica. Businesses like to know where their clients come from and the people who send the businesses those clients like to know that the businesses know it was 'them'. The businesses want you to send MORE clients so they show their appreciation through paying a commission or as some of you like to call it, 'a kick back'. Travel Costa Rica NOW tries to circle themselves with businesses they themselves would use. Businesses who offer quality at a fair price and guarantee that quality. To put the name of the business in the video would be stupid. So if you want to know, email us for more INFO at info@travelcostaricanow.com and we will direct you to the right people. geeeeez, really?
Please connect me with Johnny for this opportunity.
I'm a Florida boi (Dade). Built a lot of houses pre and post Hurricane Andrew. These seem quite practical for a non builder. You didn't get into $/M2 but I finished mine about a month ago. Half concrete./half metal and durock national-stucco in and out. All T&G cedar ceilings. All custom Guanacaste cabinets and doors. All furrings and backers for support are red cedar. Granite(Brazil). LED/US electric code(Miami). Extralum windows. Metalco custom order roof material. Lourdes ceramic(Argentine)
450.000 /M2 2000 sf under roof.Seperate laundry/food prep building and 2 car carport. Same construction. Granited, tile, killer wood,extralum.
90 days complete. 4 of us. Lot was $26/M.
Practical and faste than normal Tico GC...for sure...Stilts and a metal foundation ? Not for me. If you do the slab correctly humidity is a non issue. Ticos don't know slabs...as they should be.They skimp, never prep correctly, lack in reinforcement, garbage concrete and goofy ass room to room with a mixer, over chicken wire like hardware cloth"INDUSTRIAL".
If you're an Expat or a Tico.Go check these guys out. It looks to me like they could be a super good bet. PAY an architect to inspect and recommend behind them and you could be really good to go. Keep it up guys. Lotsa options you have there.
Part 3. Yeah. Those "baldosa ghetto boxes" are 1/2 a step above a house trailer. These guys are far ahead of that.
Good stuff but you still need direct involvement as it goes together ( see architect recommendation) Architects like working off final value. F'em. Get a flat fee. They don't need to do paperwork or any of that. Only spec and supervise
These houses look amazing. I love the look of them outside and listening to you all sounds like basically everything is taken off our hands. Planning on coming down. Will you Michael take us there?
i am sure something can be arranged ;)
Wow!!
Interesting but if it's assisted living, why are there so many stairs?
Assisted living is just part of it. Think more 'retirement community'...
For those of us wanting to do actual research on this seemingly exceptional company and wanting to know the name of the company, where they are actually located, what other floor plans they may have, , I think it is obvious that Travel Costa Rica may be getting a "kickback" , so I don't think we are going to get answers to those questions. It is a shame that is the case in a lot of CZcams influencers.
Calm yourself Ron. If you want info, email us. This is a process...and we're doing videos as the process moves ahead. I am not going to correspond in the CZcams comment section.
@@TravelCostaRicaNOW Thanks for replying Michael. I had just noticed that most of the questions on this video, having my questions, were left unanswered. I will email you.
What are the price ranges?
Please give referral, im looking at land near san ramon. Id like to see floor plans and price ranges
How much is a 2 bedroom house and what would it cost to have it shipped to the Pacific side?
Will we be able to flush toilet paper? LOL! Just curious
Loved the video. Can we have the name of the company in order to do further research. I am not interested in the community, just researching building. Thanks for any help.
Did I miss the fee? What are the cost and contact? Blueprints?
the models and blueprints are already built into the price
Newman
I would like to see a price range.
So you can saw your way in through the wall? You’d hope it has more integrity than the straw house in 3 little pigs.
so what you're trying to say is that I couldn't get into YOUR house if I really wanted to. got it.
I didn’t say that, my comment is a concern, I’ve done all kinds of buildings residential and commercial for decades, I also personally know difference between USs home brake ins and Costa Rican brake ins, in US, it’s electronics appliances jewelry guns. In CR it’s all of the above plus pulled toilets, windows doors lighting, wires and cables, you come back to a demolition job, with this in mind it’s a great question to ask the manufacturer and I assume within a gated communities it should be just fine, but somewhere around nowhere this lil piglet house is …..well you know, so concrete block walls offer much better security than something you can DRIVE THROUGH, ….I’m just sharing my own personal experience, in no shape or form would I want to bring any negativity without putting it in words…. Hope you understand, regards, and I do watch your videos religiously. Pura Vida!
Funny, go there meet a beautiful Tica and move the house. I meet a beautiful girl, get married and divorced and she gets the house. At least in Costa Rica, I can send her packing with the house and I keep the land. haha
Good one!
What's the pricing on these? What's their website?
How do I get information about these homes. I am moving to Costa Rica this year and I would love more information. Thank you in advance. I appreciate it
email me.
If i move into this community will i be able to have a visitor for an hour or two from time to time.
no. the community is visitor free, sorry.
@@TravelCostaRicaNOW No visitors? That's strange. I've never heard of that.
Do they all have flat roofs? Never saw a tilted roof.
no snow so there is no need for a tilted roof
What are the foundations in the ground that the stilts set on or are they poured concrete and the stilts bolted on a pre-fabbed in ground. With the amount of rain there, what are settlement concerns?
Assisted living...old people or what does that mean?
stilts
@@greenhealthcareinternation1986 I am a contractor builder in USA, are the stilts mounted in concrete in the ground or how?
@@tpxrp6244 I want to know too
Very impressive! Absolutely stunning
Thank you so much 😀
What are the structural design limitations of these homes? What is the maximum ceiling height? Is there a website link with designs available for the builder?
26:23 can I please get the name of the company building these houses. We would like to see how they are being built in person. Thank you so much for another great video. You can pm me if that’s better for you Mike. I was hoping to talk with you. I’m leaving Tuesday morning.
Awesome video Michael, I really like modular homes. That’s definitely a good way to build in Costa Rica.
yeah, at the very least, a great option.
Love it. So cool.
Glad you like it!
Seat belts? Come on guys.... it's Ticoland! You know how they drive... and how the roads are!! Get those seat belts on Mike! We don't want anything happening to you guys!
Great Video! Good to see Johnny is moving this project along in the right direction with quality partners!
Thick very thick? Hello
Whoo HOO! I live on the EDGE.... **famous last words ;) Haven't seen you for awhile, thanx for commenting. btw- as I write this, I am wearing a seat belt. ;)
I am very interested.
so…. do they move a complete house to the sight?
exactly. and if you ever want to move it out, you can.
yes and installed in Three to four days
@@greenhealthcareinternation1986 wow, well i’m not trying to be a Debbie downer, it’s a great concept but, we have been to CR and i guess you cant put them just anywhere huh
@@LidoLife yes were building them everywhere
Bravo! 🌄 ☕ 🌺
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you get dual pane windows as an upgrade?
Sure ya can ! BUT. That's why you need an architect/supervisor. Most window builders, furniture guys, "electricians", "plumbers" "agronomists", "veterinarians"....like CR "mechanics". 95% of them here are complete hacks. The diamonds are rare but there ARE some incredible craftsman...finding them is the trick. Been here as long as Mike has. I weeded out hundreds of lying, scamming, thieving, utterly incapable, semi-literate dumbasses(or more), as has Mike.
"Mae.I was a "welder" for ICE for 30 years ! "RUN
"Mae.I got my agronomist papers in 199X. No I don't have a farm. RUN
"Mae. I've been a vetrinarian for 20 years. No I don't have a microscope MUY MUY CARO !" RUN
"Mae. I was a bus mechanic here for 30 years. No I don't have a torque wrench "MUY CARO". RUN
"Mae. I painted houses my whole life.I need to rent a ladder and pressure cleaner. What's a drop cloth ?" RUN
I am very interested in this idea in Costa Rica. I view your videos a lot .How do i connect with Johnny.? My name is Jerome . 13:24

@@TravelCostaRicaNOW I would like to get more information about the project, for instance, price, and initial investment.
