Rosarito Beach, Long Term Rental Needed
My wife and I Will soon be relocating to Rosarito Beach and I need a nice long term rental in a safe neighborhood, preferentially on the beach or
within walking distance at least.
My wife and I are both gringo's (not that it matters but figured i would put it out on the table).
Looking for minimum of 2 bedrooms but would like 3 for guests. I am relocating for a job, so I have steady consistent income and would like to find a
place we can stay at for years. On the ocean would be great!
Probably not wise to post my rental budget... Private message me if you know of anything

It matters plenty.....in many ways. After you've been here a while it will become clear.
One thing I will say, because it may save you some grief; live amongst your own. Mexicans don't want you in their neighborhood, and you don't want
to live where you're not wanted.

South of Rosarito Central
Beside the Rosarito Beach Hotel condominiums, there is:
Rene's
Popotla
Las Gaviotas
Rosamar
Billy's by the Beach
Mision Viejo
Cantamar
Las Ventanas
Medio Camino
These are beach front, mostly gated communities with mostly gringo owner/renters.
There are also the high rises, Calafia, Marena, Pacifico del Mar, etc. etc. I don't want, don't care to remember the names.
Check them out with an internet search and don't trust anyone who tells you anything - drive around and check any property that interests you in
person and find a proper Mexican legal representative to protect you.
But, it may be, as many board posters will say, finding a proper Mexican lawyer is an oxymarooon.

Dear QA_Man,
My standard advice for someone like you is to come and check in to a hotel or motel for a week or so you can really see things. Ads online, even if
they have photos, don't really let you see or "feel" the tone and tener of the neighborhood. But it won't take you long to drive Rosarito, and see
the quality of the different neighborhoods.
There are many enclaves where many foreign residents congregate. But you will be welcome in the local Mexican neighborhoods if you are a good
neighbor. I have many friends who are good neighbors and get along just fine. Some unfortunately just don't get along with anyone, and their
negative attitude is apparant here, and with their neighbors, so....
If you try to do everything in advance, you will be forced to take someone else's advice. If you come here, and look around, talk to people, you will
form your own opinions. From time to time I see some pretty good deals starting around $400 a month... but that's my opinion! I am confident if you
come, you will find what you want.
Please feel free to write me directly and I will give you some specific recommendations on how to make your move, and links to other sources. I am
not a realtor, business owner, or have anything to sell. But I will pass along my experience and then let you make an informed opinion yourself. I
have many friends who live in local Mexican neighborhoods, and many who live in more secure enclaves. They made their own decisions and seem happy.
There is a large and active foreign resident community here with many organizations to keep you informed and busy if you want that sort of thing. You
will be welcome!
Saludos,
Ken

Sry forgot to say Baja Malibu is north of Rosarito on the toll road or just south of Del Mar -also theres a dirt road that goes behind baja malibu to
TJ and Otay Mesa for a different border crossing. And if you like surfing it has a great break.

I need a lawyer?
I realize that this is an old post but it brings up pertinent questions.
I will be looking for a rental. Is Baja Malibu still a good choice?
Do I really need a lawyer to establish a rental agreement? I am hoping to find something somewhat long term.
Thanks

I'd start a new thread for this if I were you. It's kind of lost down here on the bottom of this old one.
Just keep in mind, a lease or rental agreement has to be for up to ten years [less one day] and no more. No options like ten and ten. Only ten years
is enforceable in court should you end up there.
If you have a prospective landlord which makes you feel you need protection from, it's best to back away before you begin.

I think he meant "Thread."
Anyway.....I'll venture a guess and say he looked at the dates on previous posts.

How did huesos find this thread anyways? If you go to search and put in "Rosarito Beach rentals" nothing comes up. the person that started this
thread posted only once, and that was the lead in post to this thread. Unless Huesos is a good friend of Q-A man...

Topics like this come up on google searches of various subjects. Dates are pretty much irrelevant . I agree that it should have been a new thread but
it would have been hard to put in all the info.
