Where do Americans live in Baja?
Take out Cabo, La Paz. Ensenada, and TJ. What are the 5 most popular places. Related, which ones do you think are best?

Let's not over think this. Whatever places you'd choose to live in if you were gonna live in Baja, at least part of the year.

I'd spend six months of the year out on my old favorite beach 25 miles south of Myulehay (favorite town) if it was still livable. Solar panels, haul
water, no phones or Wi-Fi except in La Puebla.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

just like Chavela Vargas...
To paraphrase the celebrated Mexican singer of soulful Rancheros, we can live wherever pleases us!
*****
Here is the actual quotation of Chavela Vargas during an interview about her life history. She was born in Costa Rica but emmigrated to Mexico for the
opportunities the culture's rich music held for her. She lived in Mexico for some 80 years and became a citizen:
"-Si soy Mexicana (Yes, I am Mexican)
-Chavela, pero usted nació en Costa Rica (But, Chavela, you were born in Costa Rica)
-Los mexicanos nacemos donde nos da la rech#&%ada gana! ( Mexicans are born wherever the f#%k we want!)"
Chavela Vargas "No Soy De Aqui, No Soy De Alla" https://youtu.be/YbR1jpwwdbc
*****
So, come to Baja. Come and experience all it holds and listen, listen for its voice to speak your name. Then you'll know where to settle in.

I can safely put Bahia Asuncion at the end of that most to least populated havens...I believe there are less than 10 who actually live here full time.

In Punta Abreojos we only have 3 full timers. 2 more that live here at least 1/2 time and I counted 48 homes or trailers for part timers.

Where and why Americans and Canadians for that matter live in Baja can be a complex matter. Everyone has their likes and dislikes and other reasons
for living in an area. It could be the fishing or the beaches or the solitude or the various amenities. The one thing I've often heard about Americans
living in Baja is that they tend to congregate into their own communities or enclaves. I don't know if that is true for every location or not.
For me I would pick La Paz as my first choice. I fell in love with the city on my first visit in 1989 and every visit since has re-enforced my
opinion. I did not like Loreto the first few times I was there. I thought it to be a dirty town with trash everywhere. In the last 10-15 years I have
changed my mind. I now find it a great place. Excellent hotels and restaurants and many things to do and see in the area. I like San Felipe and all
the off road excitement there. Ironically the two places that fit what I like is San Quintin and Constitucion due to the agriculture.

Punta Banda; never hotter than 85 and never a frost (at our house). Only 2 hours from the border for US medical and shopping when needed. Only 1/2
hour to all that Ensenada has to offer, and relatively good fishing in your front yard.

Our original plan was to live in Bahia Asunción full-time. But medical conditions dictated Ensenada.
