Living in Contadero

Apartments make up most of what you can rent in Contadero, generally in low and mid-rise buildings tucked among the wooded streets that spread out from the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción. This is the practical option in a town otherwise known for houses on large lots: a way to live on the forested edge of Cuajimalpa, minutes from the Santa Fe offices, without buying. Rents stay well below the towers of the zone and close to what the Cuajimalpa center asks.

What to consider before renting

Contadero has a moderate number of apartments to look through, so if a listing does not fit, it helps to widen the search early. What sets them apart is scale: low and mid-rise on tree-lined streets rather than the apartment towers of Bosques de las Lomas. Neighboring El Yaqui is almost all apartments and usually has more coming up, while the Cuajimalpa center rents at a similar level. If you might buy instead, compare against apartments for sale in Contadero.
