My wife and I are looking to retire to Mexico in a couple years and
in the past week found interesting properties in Puerto Penasco we may consider looking at. We've already purchased property in BCS by Los Barriles but considering being further north towards the US. We know Sonora state has drug cartel activity and the US state department has issued elevated warnings for Sonora state but we also know this is mostly a drug cartel issue and there's crime everywhere. We live near Portland Oregon where domestic terrorism is now common so we understand how to watch out for ourselves and be aware of our surroundings but for anybody that lives in Puerto Penasco has the drug cartel activity presented exceptional safety concerns for average residents and expats? The cartels usually target each other members people involved with the drug trade and sometimes innocence get caught up in crossfires during gun battles but we would be more concerned if kidnappings and home invasions are a real elevated threat that would make us reconsider living somewhere else in Mexico? Thank you.
