Would you move to Ensenada or San Felipe?
And why? Spear the part where you shout "they are so totally different that you just can't compare them.

Depends on what environment you are looking for, If you like to go to the movies don't choose San Felipe. Nancy

You are so right Before I retired i bought two lots at Eldorado ranch in San Felepi, went over in August too hot
We came to Ensenada in Dec. after retirement and never left. I love San Felipi but You can live Comfortably year round in Ensenada and its close
enough to visit San Felipi I have driven over there for lunch . I think i have the best of two worlds. |

Does this mean you don't like Loreto or La Paz anymore?
How about Pescadero/Todos Santos?
No?
OK. How about San Jose del Cabo/Cabo San Lucas?
I think you're trying to rouse some rabble. 
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

Todos Santos and another location will be polled in the near future. Hold your horses.

I choose Ensenada; it's large and sophisticated.

SF, to me, has 2 good weather windows, Apr. May
first 1/2 of June, the mid Sept, Oct,. But honestly if
given the chance why would one not take the opportunity
to live close to D, out on the PB Peninsula, 15 mi. so.
of Ensenada, goofing with you D. I would pick SF,
it feels comfortable to me, it would be hard for me to
turn down the Cortez at sunrise. SF has 1 non working
stoplight, Ensenada has 101 working stoplights.
My wardrobe fits SF, wearing shorts 365

Ensenada
Hands down!!!!
Plenty to do. You can live in the city or out in the country.
Major hospitals, shopping and social events such as the Annual Wine Festival in August
Close proximity to the US, but far enough away to be nice.
Some nice homes/lots in the Punta Banda area that have ocean/city views.
Weather is good all year around. We know people that have places in the San Felipe area that spend the entire summer (April through September) in
Ensenada........why not just live hear year around???

Depends on what you want to do! I don't want lots of people, movies, stuff to do....I want to have peace and quiet and relaxation! I pick (picked) San
Felipe. I don't mind the heat and I love it there in the summer when almost all the other "gringos" are gone. IF I want some cool weather, lobster
etc. I can go to Ensenada...otherwise that is too populated for me! You will have to stay in both places and decide what is important to you.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Ensenada, hands down--Great restaurants, harbor, Pacific Ocean, mild climate, wine country, short trip to the States.
San Felipe is a dump. Nice spots south, though (in season).

Either location is only a six-pak away from the other. 
[I think J.P. already made this, or a similar point.]

I've got to be kidding? Why would anyone wanting the true Baja experience seriously consider these places? Go South -- Baja doesn't begin until
you've crossed the 28th Parallel.
Walk the beaches of Migrino, Pedrito, Punta Lobos, La Poza and Pastora and you'll never go back.
Todos and Pescadero: the only places to live. Like Old Baja use to be.

San Felipe is hot as Hell during the months of July - September. For me.....it's not comfee to camp with the heat.....during the night as well. I'm an
outdoors type of guy....The wife loves it there during these hot months....her and friends bake in the sun and do the town shopping thing. Good
restaurants...not world class. SF has all that you need. I need to be near the USA for family visits. Further south is to far to drive.
Having said that....
San Felipe is close to Mexicali and the US.....and close to the great outdoors. From K35'ish all the way to Gonzaga Bay .....great hiking to fishing.
Many friendly folks in the region. One can access BoLa and the Pacific coast in a few years with the new highway being installed....in a matter of a
few hours.
For Nightclubs to fine dinning.....stealing garbage cans from certain Nomads here....The Pacific side is the place to be.
Fact is.....I was suppose to be looking at a new location for a home...over by SQ or BoLA...last June. Didnt make it due to my brother not getting his
retirement papers cleared properly.
The bottom line....SF is closer, less dense....cheaper to live at than Ensenada if you wish to live near the water. Ensenada...for me...is way too
large of a town...... and dont that DENNIS guy live there?

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Yep, what McFez said!!!
Except, I like the heat too...a big contrast to WA state.
