Why Alazan?
Infrastructure
- Community!: Alazan is not just another development; it is an engaged, welcoming community of neighbors! Well-managed homeowners association maintains and improves infrastructure. All collaborate to maintain a beautiful, environmentally-sensitive, and successful community for years to come.
- Internet: Stream or telecommute easily. Fiber optic cable serves most Alazan lots (and can be expanded as each new home is built).
- Water: Alazan’s water is supplied by the regional Asada water system, sourced from an artesian well located high in the Parrita Valley watershed. We periodically lab-test our water, confirming our water is safe for consumption. We also encourage homeowners to harvest rainwater and recycle gray water where possible. Water conservation is a key Alazan community value.
- Electricity: Costa Rica’s national electricity system (ICE) maintains Alazan’s electricity distribution system.
- Roads: Alazan’s roadways are constructed to reduce concentrated runoff and allow rainfall infiltration using concrete strips, permeable pavers, and road drainage control features. These methods improve durability, reduce erosive forces, and improve drivability. We are continuously working on maintaining durable road surfaces in environmentally sensitive ways, such as vegetative plantings and natural materials to manage erosion and help stabilize slopes where needed.
- Security: Alazan maintains a welcoming, secure entrance gate and other security features. A growing number of families live at Alazan full time, and our residents, staff, and canine welcoming committee always have watchful eyes and ears on the entire property.
