Living in Condesa

Renting an apartment in Condesa means living in one of the most walkable, tree-lined areas of Mexico City. Set between the green medians of Parque México and Parque España, the neighborhood blends Art Deco buildings, specialty coffee shops, and a pace of life few areas in the city can match. It sits right next to Roma, home to some of the best restaurants and bars in the city, so everything is just a few steps away.

What to consider before renting

Condesa offers a wide mix of furnished and unfurnished apartments: because it's a very international area with a large expat community, renting furnished is common even for long stays. Walk the specific block at night, since proximity to Michoacán or Tamaulipas can mean noise that a listing won't show. Parking is scarce and metered, so factor in whether the unit includes a space or whether you can live car-free, which many here do. In older buildings, ask about construction year and reinforcement.
