I've been living fifteen miles south of San Diego in the Baja California town or Playas de Rosarito for over fifteen years. I decided to live in Mexico while still working in California, but now retirement age is upon me and I've found this to be an ideal place to retire and be close to the US at the same time. Check out the publication wwwDOTmexicolivingDOTinfo for an overview of places to retire in Northwest Mexico for those of you that wanna be driving distance from the US. Any questions?
