An Expat Talks about Moving to Rosarito, Mexico

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Rosarito

What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?

Barking dogs and the occasional loud party--often complete with Mariachi band--does make it difficult to find a completely quiet place to live. However, if your goal is TOTAL peace, might I suggest heading for the hills? There are plenty of houses located in isolated areas of Mexico. But you might give up security for the quietness. Personally, I have adjusted to the barking dogs by using a "white noise" machine at night. Otherwise they are now just background noise. The parties? Well...I just stay up until they over, generally around 2 a.m.
