Nicaragua: A Wonderful Retirement Lifestyle
Baby boomers are starting to look at Central American real estate and in particular Nicaragua Real Estate as a desirable place to retire. And why not? Nicaragua, once riddled with civil unrest, has transformed into a beautiful, tranquil and affordable place to relax and enjoy life. There is quite literally something for everyone in beautiful Nicaragua
The cost of living in Nicaragua is probably one of the biggest benefits for many of the current ex pat residents. Food costs are extremely low compared to typical first world markets. Seasonal produce, fruits and vegetables, dairy, poultry and beef can all be obtained from local markets, as well as well stocked modern grocery stores. Basic food costs are typically a half to a third of the price in the US.
Every part of Nicaragua has something different to offer a retired couple looking for authentic Central American culture. Everywhere in Nicaragua you will find the same slowed down pace of life. You will have time to enjoy a beautiful ocean sunset, wander through Colonial towns, go for a walk on the beach, enjoy a book in a hammock, or visit with locals and other expatriats.
The weather in Nicaragua is almost always the same. Beautiful blue skies with a sparkling sun lend themselves to outstanding sunsets over the Pacific. The daily temperatures hover around a fairly constant 85 degrees but most days enjoy refreshing lake or ocean breezes. If you prefer things a bit cooler then you might want to consider the mountainous regions of central and northern Nicaragua. These regions enjoy year round temperate climates.
Nicaragua real estate has been a well kept secret until recently. Always affordable, with the world wide economic crisis of 2009, some Nicaragua real estate opportunities have become very inexpensive indeed. It is now possible to get a 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom luxury condo with fabulous ocean view for $139,000.00. In 2007, these same condos were being gobbled up for $220,000.
Keep Nicaragua in mind when you are doing your tropical retirement destination research. Whether you choose volcano views with a temperate climate, or sunny warm weather and ocean breezes, you will more than likely be surprised at the options available to you, and the cost of investment and living. Visit for yourself, and you won’t take very long to add Nicaragua to your list of retirement possibilities.
