We are often asked why we moved to Los Cabos and what it is like to live here? That is an easy question to answer. Los Cabos and Baja California Sur is spectacularly beautiful. We have an amazing slice of paradise on the tip of this gorgeous peninsula. The stark beauty of the mountains and desert often gets overshadowed by the clean empty beaches, rocky coves and sea life filled bays. Our state has more shoreline than any other in Mexico and with far less than a million residents. Did you know we have more shoreline than Florida? Plus we have a mild desert climate in the tropics.
When we first moved here we noticed the majority of new residents were moving here to retire. That has sure changed with the trend toward virtual offices and generous work from home jobs. Once you are liberated and awaken to that fact Los Cabos makes almost every shortlist of places to live. The abundance of natural wonders and wonderful climate are but two reasons. Let us now go a little deeper and discover the other worthy reasons and what it is like for us to live in Los Cabos.
Los Cabos is an International Community
We live in a small neighborhood a few miles from Cabo and are surrounded by neighbors from all over the globe. There are people here from Chile, Spain, Italy, France, Poland, Britain and of course the USA and Canada and all parts of Mexico. You never know what language will be spoken at the pool. But English is prevalent. Although the current political divide is wide, we all get along wonderfully well. Since most everyone is from somewhere else we all strive to help out each other. I find a common bond in my fellow neighbors. We all are here to enjoy a new life and leave the stress behind. Sure things are different but isn’t that the point?
Los Cabos has a modern infrastructure. Our highways, health care facilities, marinas, airports, utilities, and general infrastructure are up to standards and newly upgraded. With the huge number of new retirees and the work from the home trend, we feel confident your investment in real estate in Los Cabos is secure.
Our location allows ease of travel and is ideal for anyone looking for a new place that is convenient for those friends and family left behind. You can always go visit them and vise versa. The number of nonstop flights to the USA and Canada has quadrupled and with our ever-expanding airport the options keep expanding. Plus if there is major hurricane threatening, you can always batten down the hatches, grab the pets and head up Highway 1 ahead of the storm. Just try that on an island.
Mexico enjoys a much lower cost of living.
It is no surprise that you can keep more of your hard-earned cash in Mexico. Sure there are some of the most expensive luxury resorts, restaurants, and private communities in the world in Los Cabos. There are plenty of affordable alternatives. In fact, most expenses are less than major US cities. From taxes, food, education, medical, insurance, and housing. You just need to know your best options and where to go just like anywhere else. With our Insider’s Guide to Los Cabos, you will become a local expert in no time at all.
Los Cabos offers great Health Care alternatives. Not only do we enjoy modern clinics, but hospitals, dentists and health care providers’ costs are lower and the insurance is also a fraction of the price you’d expect to pay up north.
Another big reason we love living here is that Los Cabos is fun and offers a huge range of exciting recreational options. Life is too short so enjoy a warm, fun-filled life. Besides world-famous fishing and golfing we have everything, you need for an active lifestyle. The list is too long so just trust me on this one we have everything except the cold winter sports to keep you active. Plus with all this fresh air, great weather and organic produce you may discover a new healthier self.
Here is another great reason to live here, the Cuisine.
Los Cabos has an internationally acclaimed restaurant scene. I don’t know about you but we just love great food. One of the things we love most is the wide variety of restaurants in which to choose. Anywhere from Michelin star quality fine dining to the best street tacos on the planet, variety and quality abound. First off are the amazing Mexican restaurants. There are Mexicans from all over the country bringing their best regional dishes so you can count on the best authentic Mexican food for sure. Plus you have an expanding list of new options from all over the planet. So if you craze variety and quality in your diet Los Cabos is for you.
Now for the last and perhaps best reason to make Los Cabos your home, the warm and friendly Mexican Culture. Forget what your nervous neighbors and paranoid newsrooms are spouting about Mexico, we have found from first-hand experience that Los Cabos is a safe, secure and wonderful family-oriented community. Sure things are at a slower pace and people work to live versus live to work. This slower pace and focus on family, friends, and fiestas are contagious. We often visit our friends and family up north and every time we return knowing we made a great decision moving to Baja. The flight home is full of happy people looking forward to their Cabo vacation while we smile knowing this is our permanent home. Now that is refreshing.
So whether you are looking for the perfect paradise to retire or a place to start a new life, Los Cabos is an ideal choice.
For more details, we are happy to assist you. In fact, that is exactly what we do. You will love your new Cabo Lifestyle. We sure do!
