Living in Lomas Altas

Houses in Lomas Altas sit on some of the largest, most private lots in the corridor, set back from Constituyentes and Reforma on quiet interior streets with almost no through traffic. The trade-off is that very few houses come up for rent here at once, so anyone not fixed on this exact colonia usually finds a faster search in Lomas de Chapultepec, where houses for rent turn over far more regularly at a comparable price. There's no walkable commercial strip inside Lomas Altas itself, so groceries, restaurants and everyday errands mean a short drive into a neighboring colonia.

What to consider before renting

Because so few houses are listed for rent in Lomas Altas at any point, timing matters more than in a larger colonia, and a strict move-in date can force a search elsewhere. Bosque de las Lomas, further toward Cuajimalpa, lists houses for rent more consistently and at a lower starting point, which makes it worth checking alongside Lomas Altas rather than after it. Blocks closest to Molino del Rey, which borders Lomas Altas directly, put renters within walking distance of that colonia's own streets, a difference worth checking against the exact block before signing a lease.
