It really depends on at what area you';re entering and what part of Mexico. Read More

Comparison between cities by cbrett

We are planning to relocate to the Baja this fall (covid allowing) and are looking at 3 communities/areas and would appreciate any feedback regarding ease of lifestyle (e.g. grocery shopping, °µÍø½ûÇø community, acceptance of °µÍø½ûÇøs by locals etc, cost ...

We’ve just about settled on San Felipe only south of San Felipe at a place called Rancho Costa Verde, mostly because we want to build our own home right on the sand. We looked at El Dorado but it’s just too much like a San Fernando ... Read More

Hello. The site keeps reminding me that I never introduced myself; I just started posting. So to fix that, let me say, "Hello, soon-to-be-fellow °µÍø½ûÇøs". At 63 and 64-years old respectively, my wife and I have spent a lifetime in the ... Read More

You're certainly welcome. We looked at Mazatlan as well having spent a couple of 1070s summers there with my family and knowing at 10 and 11 years old that this was where I wanted to be. But it's simply gotten too expensive. Haha; we spent ... Read More

Actually, yes; for us anyway, it is the right time for investment. We’re just recently retired and planning the move in the next year to 18-months but we’re headed to the Sea of Cortez side. Our investment dollar goes farther there to ... Read More

Hi Cyndie; I echo all of the things said so far and can add just this; learning to speak Spanish and learning to speak local Mexican are related but not perhaps as closely as English where accent tends to be the major difference. Get yourself an ... Read More

Anyone with info on Rancho Costa Verde in San Felipe, Baja? by JennG

This forum is priceless, asked a question before about Bellazo/Kahlia which only had positive reviews and boy, was I glad I found out what it was like (hope °µÍø½ûÇø Girl did o.k.). Again can only see positive reviews about them, seems to be a new ...

Thanks for asking and not, as so many who are all-too-quick-to-judge do, condemn RCV before they really know the story. We've, my wife and I, known the partners at R-Mac for some 20-odd years now and are well-familiar with the trials and ... Read More
