Living in Lomas de Santa Fe

Lomas de Santa Fe sits on the Álvaro Obregón side of the Santa Fe zone, and it reads as its more residential, accessible face. This is where the Universidad Iberoamericana campus sits (Prolongación Paseo de la Reforma 880), so students and staff share the streets with families who want to be minutes from the offices and shopping of Santa Fe without paying its top rents. What you'll find for rent is mostly apartments, and renting furnished is common, which suits people arriving for a work assignment or a single semester. Rents run below the corridor's highest end, and below the more premium apartments for rent in Santa Fe La Loma next door.

What to consider before renting

Almost no houses come up for rent in Lomas de Santa Fe: the choice here is apartments, from low blocks near the university to newer buildings with amenities. If you need a whole house, you'll have far more to choose from among houses for rent in Bosques de las Lomas on the Cuajimalpa side. Renting furnished is common, which helps if you're here for a semester or a short assignment. This is the most accessible part of the zone to rent in, so it draws people who want to be near the campus and the offices without paying what the towers closer to the corridor cost.
