Tirrases, Curridabat, Costa Rica Real Estate

Tirrases, Curridabat, San José real estate is a market of homes and land in the fourth district of the canton of Curridabat, in San José province, Costa Rica. The district covers 1.9 km² (0.7 sq mi) and its postal code is 11804.

Per the data, buyers here find houses, lots and land, and farms. It is a small, urban-scale district, so most purchases involve a house or a plot rather than large rural holdings.

Given what is listed, three buyer profiles make sense. The first is a home to live in: a house in a small district within the San José area. The second is a lot to build on, for someone who wants to design their own house and is ready to handle permits and utility connections.

The third is buying to rent out later. A purchase here is a long-term investment, and rental income would depend on the property, its condition and local demand. Farms are also listed, which suits a buyer looking for land with some room rather than a standard urban lot.

• Houses: check the structure, roof, plumbing and wiring, and whether any extensions appear on the registered plan.
• Lots and land: confirm legal access, boundaries, slope, and whether water and electricity reach the lot.
• Farms: look at access, water sources, and the size on the title versus what you see on the ground.

When there are enough listings, this page shows above what is listed by type and typical prices.

The location is the main reason to look here. The canton seat, Curridabat, is 1.7 km (1.1 mi) away in a straight line, and downtown San José is 5.5 km (3.4 mi) away in a straight line. Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) is 21.8 km (13.5 mi) away in a straight line.

Tirrases is not coastal, so the rules for beachfront land do not apply. It sits in the Central Valley around San José, a highland area rather than a beach zone.

• A title search at the National Registry (Registro Nacional): owner, mortgages, liens or annotations.
• A registered survey plan (plano catastrado) that matches the title and the boundaries, size and access on the ground.
• A land-use certificate (uso de suelo) from the Municipalidad de Curridabat and the canton's zoning plan, where one exists, to see what can be built.
• Property tax (Law 7509) and municipal services paid up to date.
• For lots or farms, written water availability from AyA or the local ASADA, electricity, and building permits from the local authority.
• Transfer by public deed before a notary, with transfer tax (Law 6999); ask for the full closing-cost breakdown.

Tirrases borders San Francisco de Dos Ríos (canton of San José), San Antonio (canton of Desamparados), Curridabat, Sánchez, San Juan (canton of La Unión) and Río Azul (canton of La Unión). That places it among several districts of the greater San José area.

Official neighbourhoods include Colina, Lomas de San Pancracio, Ponderosa and Quince de Agosto. Real travel time depends on the hour and the road, so visit at the times you would actually travel.

A purchase usually starts by comparing several properties and their asking prices in the zone. Work with a local agent, then, before investing, ask a Costa Rican notary to run the title search and check the survey plan before you sign anything.

The notary prepares the public deed and registers the transfer. Foreigners can own titled property with the same rights as citizens (Article 19 of the Constitution), with the exceptions the law sets. Agencies and agents with listings in the zone appear further down this same page.
