Hi,

So I am looking to live in Mexico for at least 6 months.

I currently live in California and initially planned to live in the Ensenada -Rosarita area.

However, because that area is so cloise to the border the prices seemed rather high given my income and there also was a considerable amount of crime and other probleamtic issues given the degree of partying occuring.

I need to live rather close to the US because I need to return to the States at least once a month for financial reasons.

Do people have suggestions of other areas, cities, that are close to the States but have less urban issues?

Are there regions, cities near Arizona that are less problematic than the municipalities near California?

I have a fixed income so I can not afford a great deal.聽 Roughly $400/month.

Thanks.

@Michael Asay

Ok Ok.

Yes. SI.

The fact that I will need to go to the US very often is a major bummer.

But part of my monthly income is $500 from the state of CA.

If I'm out of the state for more than 29 consecutive days I say goodbye to half a grand.

Now does this mean I will enjoy spending $200 to go back and forth.

NO!

Am I open to some creative alternative.

Yes.

But saving $300/month is a ton of cash in Mexico and at this point having that money is worth the hassle.

@Yishai Gidon can you explain you're situation that you have to go back to US every month for financial reasons? You don't make sense.
