If you are only looking for a retirement place in Mexico and it doesn't have to be driving distance from California, try Bucerias. It's the town just north of Puerto Vallertia (10 miles north of the airport).
I'll admit it was 10 years ago, but we rented a great house there and met several ex-pats living in the area. Right on the beach, cheap. Just don't be like the guy in the Post Office who had been there for 15 years and still couldln't buy a stamp in Spanish.
I think moving away from the border removes that sector of crime related to smuggling people or drugs. Is there still crime? Yes. Is there crime in Sacramento or Dallas or Chicago?
