The Rest of the Story
My wife and I, married over 50 years and a couple of old, retired US Army Colonels, couldn’t find what we wanted in the States—so we moved to Costa Rica and over the past eight years, we’ve built it here. We believe Jardin la Torre is what Del E. Webb communities and The Villages would be–had they been placed in God’s country, with a 50-mile view of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Nicoya, with year-round mild temperatures, and a consideration for the environment.
We offer a nice little community/campus for active retired senior expats. Please look at our websites to see our units (www.latorrecostarica.com) and our recreation center www.vientosbajos.com) which we built across the road to provide activities and entertainment focused on active seniors.
Testimonial:
“As retirees, we´ve lived in CR for 4 years searching for the ideal retirement spot…This is it; magnificent ocean and mountain views, great activities center and wonderful people sharing an arboretum like setting.” Rick R, current tenant at Jardin La Torre.
My husband and I retired in Costa Rica 4 years ago, and moved to El Empalme a little over a year ago. We discovered the Vientos Bajos center, located across the street from El Jardín Torre campus, where we learned to play pickleball. We also enjoy various activities such as a their library, DVD and CD exchange, as well as a gym to work out.
Recently, we were able to rent one of the beautiful homes in El Jardín La Torre so now we have it all! Panoramic views from high on the hill (including amazing sunsets) and the active lifestyle we wanted for our retirement. Kim C.
