I am never going to move to Baja, but given your two choices, if I were to move, it would be Ensenada, for sure.

But, I'd rather just visit and rent places to stay in different areas of Baja rather than to stick myself in one area.

Will never leave San Diego as my home base for life.

Ensenada for sure. San Felipe is way to hot for this old body. But I hate air conditioning and sweating is against my religion. IMHO mid to northern BC, Pacific side, has the best year round weather in the entire peninsula, just like Southern CA.

Punta Banda is a nice area. Even inland a bit towards Santo Tomas. The north side of Ensenada has some real nice housing developments.

I would pick Ensenada over San Felipe, if only just because of the Punta Banda group of people.
However, San Felipe has one thing that can't be found in Ensenada...

San Felipe, but not in the summer. Off roading right out your front door. Just about any type of vehicle, off road, ATV etc etc being driven on Hwy5, local streets, paved and not paved. Baja 250, Code 250, Tequila Festival, Shrimp Festival.

Ensenada no. What was that CW song? "Big City Turn Me Loose"

Ensenada - Si Bueno
Would it not be better to have a small apartment, and spend ¿10? days a month exploring .. ... . everywhere
