What we do

SERENA is a community in San Mateo, Costa Rica, surrounded by lush trees, open skies, and good energy. A place where lots are ready to build, titled, with water, electricity, and fiber-optic internet available from day one.

At SERENA, you can start your project without delays, unnecessary red tape, or pressure. It’s for people who want to create their own way of living, with room to grow, build, rest, or simply be.

SERENA is not just land; it’s an evolving community rooted in respect, connection, and freedom. You’ll have access to optional shared spaces, such as a swimming pool, a clubhouse, and various sports courts, to be confirmed through a separate membership. There are no HOA fees. No imposed designs. No “one-size-fits-all” vibe.

Here, you build your life your way, with people who value simplicity, privacy, and genuine connection.

Our Vision

A serene residential community promoting wellness, nature immersion, and a connected lifestyle.
