Yes I think you would like Ensanada. There is plenty to do. If you like clubs they are
there. They have arts centers at the Unis. Lots of fishing, boating, golfing and many other actiivities. The weather is good also. It is a good base to travel from also, many places to go and see.

My name is "ChrisNYC" not OP..willing to help if I can.

I had no idea of the gentleman's age...sorry. I still say though if you are willing to live in Ensenada you might want to consider moving further south. Why ? You get better weather and a more traditional mexican vibe. Some people like that some don't. That would be like me wanting a better life for myself by moving to New Jersey.


The Baja 1000 is exciting. There is a great documentary about it on netflix. It is worth seeing.

By all means enjoy Ensenada. There are some beautiful views to be seen. I am off to Mazatlan next month for the first time.

I have faith in Mexico and the people. That is why I feel comfortable going down to Sinaloa. At this point America is a lot more frightening to me . A lot has to do with culture and mentality. I happen to vibe well with mexican culture. I'd be more worried going to Detroit.

Hopefully Mazatlan works out for me. I'd like to combine it with my Tijuana trips.

I will go to MZT Culiacan Guadalajara then returning from Mexico City.

I will write a report afterwards. Feel free to contact me if I can help.

i thought mazatlan might be one of the more interesting towns..............buen viaje amigo

Mazatlan is a beautiful city; both the old downtown with its plazas, mercado, opera house, etc.; as well as the malecon and beach. Then, there is the 'Golden Zone' or tourist trap stretch north of town. We love it there, in the cooler months, and have spent a couple of week-long vacations in Mazatlan.

I appreciate posts that are well written, and this one is. Whether I agree with all your comments is irrelevant, and I'm not saying I don't, they are very well presented. Kudos, and I will eagerly look forward to future posts.

I live in Rosarito... feel free to stay in touch. I'm not in real estate or have anything to sell, but will be happy to share opinions and information.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]



I will be in Rosarito a week from today . I am curious to see these Condos on the beach . Which ones do you recommend for someone who wants to pay under $1,000 rent ?

ChrisNYC--OP simply stands for "original poster".

It's not an insult, just a way of referring back to the person who posted something without having to scroll back and look up the name. Or, of having your readers need to do it.
