Seaside Town of Las Catalinas in Costa Rica Announces Montana Flats Now Available for Sale
At the end of 2022, the car-free seaside town of Las Catalinas in the northwestern province of Costa Rica completed its Beach Town neighborhood after 16 years of planning and construction. In 2o22 The Congress for New Urbanism celebrated Beach Town with a Charter Award recognizing the town for achieving “more equitable, sustainable, connected, healthy, and prosperous communities.” With friendly neighborhoods, walkable streets and plazas, and timeless architecture, Beach Town spreads over 21 acres combining leisure and urban living with an emphasis on the natural surroundings.
The philosophy of connecting people to one another and to nature extends to the town’s next phase – the neighborhood of El Prado located adjacent to Beach Town on the east side of Camino Las Catalinas. Complete with a grand Parque Central with playing fields, tennis courts, a covered basketball/multisport court, neighborhood pool, charming pedestrian side streets, beautiful facades, world class amenities, offices and businesses, balconies and porches, dramatic hillside views, and a series of spectacular pedestrian stair streets with fantastic views in the upper areas reminiscent of the Mediterranean, El Prado spans 60 acres of area that will provide an estimated 500-600 residences over a variety of living options including flats and townhouses, houses along pedestrian stair streets, and a number of lots for larger houses. Many of the residences will have panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. In addition to the completion of infrastructure construction, Las Catalinas announces over 40 residences including 25 Lantana Residences, 22 Terraced Flats, and a 67,800 square foot commercial center, La Rambla have begun vertical construction in El Prado.
It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that Las Catalinas announces the next neighborhood called Montaña Flats in El Prado that will feature 38 one, two, and three-bedroom flats integrated into the hillside of El Prado and adjacent to 60,000 square feet of mixed use buildings, plentiful parks, and plazas, and surrounded by 40 kilometers of hiking and mountain biking tails. Cascading from a peak sixty meters above sea level, the Montaña Flats offer spectacular ocean views from nearly every unit. A funicular provides access to multiple plaza levels climbing into the hillside allowing owners and their guests ease of access. Pricing ranges from $285,000USD to $1,100,000USD and includes clean, and bright finishes. Slated for completion as early as April 2026, the Montaña Flats offer a particularly attractive way to embrace the Las Catalinas lifestyle.

About Las Catalinas, www.lascatalinascr.com
The conscious town of Las Catalinas is Costa Rica’s newest desirable beach town inspired by New Urbanist philosophy. The car-free, highly walkable town includes several inns and intimate hotels, shops, restaurants, retail, day spas, pedestrian streets, parks, plazas, and recreational facilities, all located between two of Costa Rica’s loveliest Pacific beaches and 1,000 acres of protected tropical dry forest, which are interlaced with extensive hiking and biking trails. Within the town, the walkable public spaces are interwoven with nature, and the architecture emphasizes indoor-outdoor living and scenic views. Cars are refreshingly absent. Founder Charles Brewer’s core values and beliefs include environmental stewardship, connection to one another and to the rhythms of nature, promotion of wellness, and an emphatic preference for quality of life over quantity of material possessions, understanding that the “good life” is not about material possessions but about human connections, good health, and ecological sustainability.
