By organizing La Estancia as a “condominium community” under Costa Rican laws, the condominium itself owns all the common property within the walls including the roads, water system, security systems, sidewalks, community center building, and most of the green space. This allows the community to be “gated” with a private security service to assure privacy for its residents.
