Living in Benito Juárez

Living in Benito Juárez means choosing one of the most walkable, centrally connected stretches of Mexico City, built around the Insurgentes and Metrobús corridor. Del Valle anchors the borough as its classic residential core, tree lined and close to the Metro, generally the best balance of space and price across the area. Head west along Insurgentes and the tone turns corporate around the WTC, while newer towers keep rising in Xoco, around the Mítikah complex. Renters who want a similarly walkable center with more restaurants and nightlife can look north to the Roma and Condesa neighborhoods in Cuauhtémoc, usually at a higher price.

What to consider before renting

Transport threads the whole borough together: Metrobús runs the length of Insurgentes, Metro Line 3 and Line 12 cut across the south, and commutes into WTC or downtown stay short from almost any colonia here. Renters comparing price should treat the borough as several distinct pockets rather than one block: Portales sits on the accessible end, while newer buildings in Nápoles run higher. Anyone who wants more space for a similar budget can also compare houses in Coyoacán, just south.
