Living in Cuauhtémoc

Apartments define most of Cuauhtémoc, and the best rental options split between two distinct moods. Along the Reforma corridor, Juárez and the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood put renters near office towers and Zona Rosa, while a few blocks west, Roma and Condesa trade that corporate feel for tree-lined streets and a walkable restaurant scene. Further north, Santa María la Ribera keeps rents lower in porfirian-era buildings a few Metro stops from the same buzz.

What to consider before renting

Renters chasing new construction gravitate to the Reforma towers in Juárez and the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood, while walk-up buildings are the norm in Roma and Condesa. Tabacalera and San Rafael round out the accessible end, both a short Metrobús ride from the corridor. For a bigger unit at a lower rent than the trendy west side, Benito Juárez borough is one Metro stop south.
