"Expats considering retirement in Ensenada should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand the cost of living, which is generally lower than in the U.S., but can vary depending on lifestyle choices. Healthcare is also more affordable, but it's crucial to secure health insurance that covers treatment in Mexico. Spanish is the official language, so learning basic Spanish would be beneficial, although many locals speak English. The climate in Ensenada is Mediterranean, with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, which may be a significant change for some retirees. The city is known for its safety compared to other parts of Mexico, but like any place, it's important to stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings. It's also crucial to understand the immigration laws and secure the appropriate visa or residency status. Ensenada offers a vibrant culture with plenty of activities, including wine tasting, fishing, and surfing. It's also important to note that while Ensenada is a popular tourist destination, it still maintains a small-town feel, which may be a pro or con depending on personal preference. Lastly, it's recommended to visit Ensenada multiple times before deciding to retire there, to ensure it's a good fit for your retirement lifestyle," remarked another expat in Ensenada, Mexico.
