Buying in Álvaro Obregón

For apartment buyers, Álvaro Obregón's story is the Santa Fe corridor: apartments for sale in Santa Fe, Santa Fe La Loma and Lomas de Santa Fe hold most of the newer towers, built up around the office district and Universidad Iberoamericana over the last two decades. Buyers who want a similar apartment profile at a gentler price can look toward apartments for sale in Los Alpes, a walkable pocket near San Ángel and Metro Barranca del Muerto, well outside the corporate corridor.

What to consider before buying

Newer buildings in Santa Fe carry a premium tied to the office towers next door, and that premium fades as you move toward Los Alpes or the older buildings closer to the center of the borough. HOA fees tend to run higher in the Santa Fe towers than in walk-up buildings elsewhere in Álvaro Obregón, worth checking before comparing prices across colonias. For buyers who want the same corporate-corridor apartment profile with more options, Cuajimalpa de Morelos continues the Santa Fe corridor just across the border.
