Had a great time at Hong Kong last night with Paul from TJ and some of his friends, that's obviously gonna be a regular event!
I'm usually down to grab some lobster in puerto nuevo, seafood in popotla, go surf, smoke, skate, make snowboard trips, light off a bunch of fireworks, rent ATVs/horses/jetskis, skydive, scuba, snorkel, fish, catch lobster, party in TJ, go to TJ strip clubs, party in rosarito, organize trips (deep sea fishing, boat to a random island, paragliding, travel around Mexico). Oh I hear windsurfing is good down here, that could be dope. If you ever wanna do cool **** relating to the following please hit me up, because I want in!!

Anyone that knows about cliff-diving around here i'd be stoked to find some good spots!

I have followed your threads Boliver and you make the move sound very interesting. I have been reviewing a couple rental websites like the baja123.com and I give you an a+ on the bang you got for your buck! That's allot of space for $1,380

I am about 80% going to rent down there to grind myself, but I'm realistically 2 months from being in a position to make the move. I'm in Az so its not to major distance wise.

I am hoping you will be able to help a brother with some advice along the way so I can also maximize my Rosarito beach grind experience. (I have never been there)

I hope we can kick back and blaze on the beach sometime in the future! Thanks for the insight in the other threads and gl to you and your roommates! May you run as pure as snow!

I will be down there first week of oct. I been in the Dominican republic for 2 months. I try to get setup out here. Lets just say I had a bad experience out here with the banking system and ready to grind in mexico.

how many guys that are there have their cars? Just wondering if it would be a problem to have my car there with us plates on it long term.

boliver · 08-23-2011, 04:52 PM

thanks bust, yea I feel like we got a pretty decent spot, and while I could have maybe negotiated a couple hundred bucks off the rent, max...it wasn't worth it, since I talk to my realtor, who talks to the listing agent, who talks to this other guy in the office, who talks to the owner's agent, who talks to the owner. Saving a few days quibbling over $30-50 each per month wasn't worth it to me at the time, and they may not have budged anyways. I'd def stoked on the place, and every person that has come over is pretty hyped on it as well.

nos vemos en octubre realtalk.

3 of us will have cars here, although I think we only technically get 2 parking spots. I was told yesterday that it's a good idea to give the guards $20/mo for them to look out for us though, and I'm sure for an extra couple bucks we can get another spot as well, there's plenty of room. you are a US citizen, you have to have US plates. Pretty sure it's illegal for you to drive a car with Mexi plates or for a local to drive your car. Just what I was told yesterday though...but why are your plates an issue regardless?
Driving down here is fine, although the roads can put a beating on your car. I pretty much drive double whatever the speed limit is and haven't really been concerned about police at all.

fwiw alot of people have told me that in a month, 2 months they're moving here. Ppl waiting for their leases to expire in canada, getting organized in US, waiting for FTP funds, etc. Expect another couple rounds of exodus by the end of the year.

I'm driving down later this week

bustuw72 · 08-23-2011, 05:34 PM

For those of you who have moved, or have visited Rosarito considering a move could you do me and the others who are interested in making the move a huge favor? Could you list the top 5 Condo complexes in Rosarito beach? This will help us line up places prior to going down there. The requirements are listed below.

1. Year Built (prefer newer construction)
2. The beach its on/curb appeal/view/location
3. Pool's and jacuzzies on property
4. Other Amenities (gym, lobby, staff, bball/tennis courts, grounds, concierge etc.)
5. American people/english speaking people/american safety and comfort

Please list what you feel are the top condo's based on the criteria.

Any specifics or added info about the place and its amenities/activities would be imensly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if this has already been asked elsewhere but why did you choose Rosarito over Cabo or Play Del Carmen?

I can't seem to find any long term rental info for Playa Del Carmen anywhere. I can't even find any info on the area at all. I been leaning towards Rosarito, but would like to research Play Del Carmen before making a decision.

Just got set up in my condo. I love it. Highrise condo on the beach. My whole wall towards the ocean is class so I have a sick view for grinding of the ocean.

Location. I explained more earlier in the thread, but Cabo isn't even mexico, it's a resort town with basically american prices or even more expensive from what I hear. PDC is far away, and I heard kinda dirty as well? I don't know much about PDC though. Puerto Vallarta is prob where I would move in Mexico if location didn't matter to me. Snowboarding is only like 3 hours away, and friends/family all live in LA as well, plus just being able to drive 30 minutes and be back in America if we ever feel the need.
