Living in Benito Juárez

House rentals in Benito Juárez concentrate in the middle of the borough, in Del Valle and Narvarte, where tree-lined blocks of one and two-story homes sit a short walk from Insurgentes and its Metrobús. Both colonias keep a classic, residential character built for families who want a yard, a garage, and a quiet street without leaving the city center. To the west, Nápoles has grown up around office towers near the WTC, and to the south, along the Coyoacán border, Xoco has built up around the Mítikah development, so renters set on a freestanding house are better served staying in the central Del Valle and Narvarte grid.

What to consider before renting

For a house with more land and a quieter, more suburban feel, Álvaro Obregón to the west, around San Ángel and the Pedregal area, is worth comparing directly with Del Valle and Narvarte. Within Benito Juárez, Narvarte tends to run a touch more affordable than Del Valle for a comparable house, and both put tenants within walking distance of Metro and Metrobús stations. Anyone house hunting should confirm parking and street access early, since many of these blocks were laid out before cars were common.
