Buying in Pedregal

Buying a house is what Pedregal is for. The prestige core is Jardines del Pedregal, the colonia Luis Barragán laid out over the Xitle lava in the early 1950s, with señorial houses on large lots behind high walls, and it holds the top of the price range. From there the zone opens south into the gated Tlalpan colonias, Fuentes del Pedregal and Parque del Pedregal, which price a step below, and east toward Ciudad Universitaria through Pedregal de San Francisco in Coyoacán.

What to consider before buying

The house itself defines the deal here. Many date to the 1950s and 1960s, some are original works by Barragán and his circle, so confirm the construction year and whether a home carries heritage cataloguing that limits remodeling. Everything sits on lava rock, so gardens and levels step with the stone rather than lie flat, and building into it has always shaped how these homes are made.
