Living in Benito Juárez

Apartment renting in Benito Juárez centers on two areas away from the middle of the borough. Nápoles, west of the center along the Insurgentes and Río Mixcoac corridor, surrounds the World Trade Center with mid-rise buildings aimed at people who work in the corporate offices nearby, and to the south, on the Coyoacán border, Xoco has added newer, amenity-heavy towers around the Mítikah development. Back toward the center, Del Valle and Narvarte fill out their tree-lined blocks with low-rise rental buildings, walkable to restaurants and to the Metrobús on Insurgentes. To the south and east, Portales adds older, more affordable buildings near its own Metro station.

What to consider before renting

Tenants prioritizing new construction and building amenities should start in Xoco or Nápoles, where rents run highest for that reason. Those who want a walkable, tree-lined street closer to daily life head to Narvarte or Del Valle, and Portales remains the value option for renters watching their budget without leaving the borough. For an even more affordable apartment while staying close to the center, Coyoacán to the south is worth comparing, with its own walkable, tree-lined colonias.
