what could be better than a siesta on the beach. Ty for all the insight on Rosarito 馃槉

Sort of depends on where you are coming from, If you are moving from Arizona, Texas, the yucatan or perhaps Florida, you might want lots or sweaters, and jackets for awhile.聽 It is 10 degrees or more colder than most of those places. Coming from California, no problem.

hi,聽 appreciate your candor. i am gathering information ao that i can make an educated decision to move or not to move to Rosarito.
can you tell me about the mail and deliveries when ordered online. is there something similiar to UPS, if so are they reliable?
also, i would be a renter how easy or difficult is it to find a condo to rent and pricing?
thank you in advance for your time馃槉

I would think to be so close to the U.S. that you would have very little postal issues. Mexico has Amazon. and they deliver quickly. They also have DHL and FedEx as well as other delivery companies. A P.O. box should work for some things, but a mail address would also be possible, and given how close you would be to the U.S. a letter or delivery should be pretty normal compared to the U.S.

Deeper in Mexico mail slows quite a bit, but I still get deliveries at my house by the local mail. Faster deliveries arrive via FedEx or DHL.

As for renting you should visit and talk to a real estate agency.

Hi, You should have no problem finding a place for the price you mention. You can bring your things. Just declare them when you come in.Cable and internet are available also. On the medical I am not sure. I doubt that you can use medicare here ,but that is something you can investigate when you visit.
However since you will be in the Baja you can go to San Diego to see a doctor

Thank you for your post. Tell me about living as an expat and buying and visa rules. I am in the process of receiving my Mexican dual citizenship but I want to live there now and fly under the radar, not flaunt anything American, and just live free and simple and easy like I have always wanted. The American stuffy, upscale life has never really been for me, hence living in many countries such as Panama and Spain. But the difference is I have never purchased in Mexico until now. I am so proud of the half Mexican heritage I do possess and once I settle there, I don鈥檛 want to use my American Citizenship status at all. I want to be known as a regular, Mexican citizen. Please tell me about the legal rules for buying and being 鈥淎merican鈥� many have only offered negative comments stating crime, cartels, crookedness , and visa complications. Also, buying without a visa will get me evicted and banned back to the US. Is any of this true? In my years of crossing the border and going to the dentist, pharmacies, shopping, doctors, etc I have never had a problem. But people are telling me that visiting is very different than residing there and that the law will Come After me. True or false?

Thank you

If you really want a lot of input, you'd probably be best to create a new thread on the Mexico forum and copy and paste your post into that new thread,

This thread is specifically about Rosarito, so knowledgeable folks might miss your questions.

@paxvobiscum I am very lonely so I would mostly like to know if there is a vibrant community life? You say the cost of living is not that low. Could you elaborate.

My new e-mail address is

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing you knowledge.

Dear Pax

Many years ago as a young woman I hitchhiked through Baja,courtesy of waves of retired Americans in RVs. Now I鈥檓 retired, and looking for a place to rent or buy in a country that is not the US. This is for for cultural as well as climatological reasons.

I would so much appreciate knowing more about Rosarito, which I visited but can鈥檛 specifically remember. 鈥攗nless聽 this is the place with the little Eiffel church? That town I remember vividly and very much liked.

Does the ferry run from there? What cultural, spiritual social resources are available?Any volunteer organizations or opportunities for volunteer work?

Thanks so much.

Pat

We have been living in a very safe in PV Mexico.聽 I have lived in Rosarito.聽 That is very dangerous to me as the border towns are always scary.

@brogan

Hi Jim,聽 聽I鈥檓 not really looking to share a condo鈥�not right now anyhow, but I am heading to NBC,聽 Mexico, most likely Rosarita, with my travel trailer which I plan on living in on the beach.聽 聽I like parcheesi, fishing and tequilla sunrises if you want to have a friend to call on.

@paxvobiscum

I have a condo on the beach in Rosarito (I live in Colorado) and plan on using it more and more as I enter retirement. I love the weather there, the vibe, and the friendliness of the people there. Many are welcoming of expats, what I haven鈥檛 got involved with is expat communities in Rosarito, I hear they are many but some want to make Rosarito a California beach town, and others bring their problems with them to Rosarito. One has to accept that it is a different country and some things are different. If you come with an open mind set and apt to get involved in a new culture, then you should be fine.

@paxvobiscum what is SMA?
