Donde?
Mexico City is big. Really big. If you don’t know what you’re looking for it can be overwhelming to search for properties. Luckily after digging around a bit, it’s easy to narrow your search to a few neighborhoods based on what you’re looking for.
Taking stock of my background, constraints, and goals:
- “Yuppie” or “yuppie-adjacent” American
- Looking for 1BD and 2BD apartments around $200-300k
- Car-less
- English-speaking
- Fan of food, but even bigger fan of kitschy cafes
The search can be somewhat narrowed to this general area

The candidate neighborhoods can be organized into tiers, because tiers are cool
