Air Quality
Siquirres
Siquirres is a working Caribbean town that appeals to expats seeking authentic Costa Rican life without the expat bubble—think small-town pace, genuine local connections, and affordable living rather than resort infrastructure. Healthcare and public transport are solid (both rated 7/10), and the cost of living remains reasonable, making it viable for remote workers or retirees on modest budgets. The trade-off is real: this is a genuine town, not a polished expat hub, so you'll need Spanish fluency and comfort with limited English-language services. Safety is respectable at 7/10, though petty theft occurs. Best suited for independent, adaptable people who want to live in Costa Rica rather than alongside it.
