I plan to someday soon move permanently to Ensenada. Two main reasons for my decision to choose Ensenada are the proximity to a Kaiser Medical Facility. It's only about 75 miles to the Otay Kaiser. The other is the fact that Ensenada is considered the 2nd most safest city in all of Mexico. (Guanajuato being #1)
