Living in Condesa

Renting a house in Condesa is rare and highly prized: the area is mostly made up of apartment buildings, so houses for rent are a limited and special offering. Many preserve the Art Deco and 1930s architecture that defines the neighborhood, with original details, multiple levels, and in some cases a patio or rooftop. They sit just steps from Roma and its dining scene, and at the same time next to Parque México and the walkable life that makes Condesa unique. They're ideal for those looking for more space without moving away from it all.

What to consider before renting

Being larger and scarcer, houses in Condesa tend to command higher rents and get taken quickly. It's worth checking the condition of the property —especially in older houses—, parking (many streets use metered parking), and whether mixed use is allowed, since many houses in the area also operate as offices or commercial spaces. Landlords typically ask for a deposit, proof of income, and a legal guarantee or co-signer.
