What do I need to know before retiring in Rosarito?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Rosarito, they said...
"There are many people from the USA, Canada and Europe have visited Mexico, love it and have considered relocation. Many visitors also spend their Mexico trip to the top resort areas at the best time of year to be there. This being the winter months. The down season is usually from May through October and the top resort areas are ghost towns. Reason for this is the abysmal heat and humidity. I once spent a month in Mazatlan in August. Mazatlan is just the start of the tropics and the heat and high humidity were abysmal and almost impossible to tolerate. Even walking a short distance can be very unpleasant as are the temperatures that can top 120 degree with 98% humidity. The only tolerable place to be are inside with the air conditioning on high. I love and visit the tropical areas yet only in the winter. I live in the South area of Rosarito Beach, Baja California. Year round climate is beautiful. Never too hot or cold. Winters are very mild and similar to San Diego, Ca. I have friends in Rosarito that spend their summers here and winters in the tropics. Living in the tropics is most certainly not the ideal area for most people. Even the locals hate the low seasons. I have not seen this topic get a lot of attention here yet what I have said is absolutely true," remarked another expat in Mexico.
"Expats in Rosarito should have a basic understanding of Spanish as English is not widely spoken. Rosarito is relatively inexpensive compared to other locations, so retirees on a budget may find it attractive. It is important to research the immigration regulations for retirement visas for Mexico before making the move. It is advised to arrange for healthcare prior to arriving, as public healthcare in Mexico may not be extensive or reliable. Additionally, having a reliable source of income to cover expenses is important. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the culture of Rosarito to ensure you feel comfortable and can adapt as an expat," said a member in Rosarito, Mexico.
