Lakeside area has lots of ex-pats from USA,Canada and the world. Very temperate climate all year long. My 2 cats are great fun. The house is a Mexican hacienda style with a very private courtyard 3 bedrooms, 4 baths, garage....maid service 2X a week. No yard/garden to take care of...just potted plants/trees on auto sprinkler system. Close to local bus service...on a very quiet tree-lined street.
