Santa Ana
Santa Ana, located in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, has an approximate population of 34,500 inhabitants. Santa Ana is located west of Escazu and is 15 minutes from the Juan Santamaria International Airport, making it a convenient location for business travelers. Santa Ana is a popular dwelling among expatriates, and along with the neighboring city of Escazu, it is home to a vast majority of the upscale communities, shopping plazas, and fine restaurants Costa Rica has to offer. While Escazu is thoroughly developed, Santa Ana is still an up-and-coming community with a country feel. The downtown area keeps its local roots, with weekend markets offering fresh fruit and vegetables for sale on the street. Downtown Santa Ana is a popular hangout on the weekends. Continuing west into the Lindora area of Santa Ana, there has been substantial commercial development in the last five years. In this area you can find coffee shops, golf & tennis stores, fine dining, a gourmet butcher shop, furniture stores, office towers, and auto dealers.
