Hi Cowboy -
Costa Rica is a small country, with three ranges of volcanoes running right up the middle. While you may be able to avoid volcanoes, there is nowhere here that is outside an earthquake zone. If this is what is driving your choice of location in CR, it is not a good discriminator.
Cost of living varies, but rural is generally cheaper for rent, but more difficult to get around - decide whether you will need a car, as that is in important cost factor.
