House Hunting in Mexico City!!

Is Mexico City my new home in Mexico? Today I'm looking at rentals in CDMX to find out! I'll be sharing the process, prices, and 4 apartment tours.
❁❁Please subscribe to my channel❁❁ kzbin.info?su...
After living in Guadalajara for about 5 months, I realized it's not the city for me. One option I'm considering for my long-term home base in Mexico is Mexico City.
So today, with the help of a real estate agent, I'm checking out a handful of apartments in Mexico City. More specifically, I'll be looking in Narvarte, Condesa, Roma, Colonia del Valle, and Cuauhtemoc as I feel that these neighborhoods are mostly safe, walkable, and centrally located.

[@MaddieGold]

What do you think of these rental options? Are they worth the price? 🏡Should I make one of them my new home? One thing I'm running into that I meant to elaborate more on in this video is that most of these landlords not only require a 1-year lease, they also want a type of insurance policy (typically costs 45% of a month's rent) PLUS a co-signer who lives in Mexico (which I don't have). Sooooo I'm hoping to find a landlord who's more open-minded to a "traditional" signed lease situation and/or perhaps an alternate arrangement like paying X months of rent in advance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We'll see!

[@raynemarie8058]

The first one is beautiful, but I agree about the construction. That would be a deal breaker. I like the third one best, but would likely choose the second one - I hate the red though.

[@mtngrl5859]

I like the second one, the quiet street plus the extra room. Having a full sized fridge is important. The first one, hated that steep balcony, don't like heights.

[@mig6pie]

If you need assistance, I'll be happy to cosign for you

[@zak2u2]

@Calderitas Beach So is her agent screwing her? Does she need a new person to help her find something? I didn't like any of those places.

[@javiergarciaramirez4330]

I think the second one seems more balanced spesking of cost-benefit but this city is full of surprises, take your time and surely something ideal will pop up.

[@davidvalle1048]

Maddie, Just my 2-cents of advice about living in CDMX. I lived there for 3 years and was there for the last big earthquake. Look for a place that is, first of all, no more than a few floors above the street. Just in case you have to get out in a hurry. In fact you should really pay attention to the look and structure of the building that you are moving into. Make sure it is safe and you feel ok about getting out in an event. YOu should know by now that certain areas are more prone to damage and movement due to the ground the building sits on. Also try to see the property during different parts of the day. As some areas can be really busy during the day and just the opposite at night, which could be a safety issue. You will also know if you have lots of noise from the street or neighbors. Turn on the water in the shower at each place. Make sure that there is sufficient water pressure and that the area doesn't have regular outages. I would try to be located near a major metro or Metrobus line unless you are going to take Ubers everywhere. Explore the neighborhood and see what's around as far as supermarkets, cafes, etc.

[@moaraa2575]

Great advise.

[@katherinewagoner741]

I have always heard that Coyacon (sp) is the safest from quakes due to it being in a rocky area of the city. I personally always thought that would be a place I would want to live. Also, such charming area. Loved it.

[@zaporizhiaisukraine1589]

Also, ask the shops next to the house, neighbors or people waiting at the bus stop, how safe would they honestly say the area is. Maybe you want to ask women instead of men too... because men can talk about: 'i've been assaulted/robbed here before, but it was late at night, so don't worry' but women apart of robbery attempts could also provide you other information such as: ''I have been gropped or catcalled numerous times, but mostly on weekends only'') Earthquakes are important, but you only need to worry about them once every X years. Personal security you need to worry every X steps.

[@reallymad8096]

Old buildings are mostly not earthquake safe , people really care about you, because you are genuine a nice person you are very lucky,love is not how much you love but how much you are loved.(the wizard of oz) when the tin man got his heart.

[@chrisbaker5051]

Great considerations.

[@dfwvtxman]

#2 for sure. You won't have to worry about paying the utilities, internet etc.. Plus is has a bigger fridge. With the red kitchen, I'm sure you can decorate it and make it your own.

[@donnaw2868]

There might be larger 12x17 decorative magnets that could go over the red appliance surfaces to tone them down if that is not your style. Although red fits Mexico.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

@@donnaw2868 my parents built their second home in Mexico with a red kitchen.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

#2 has a terrible layout and terrible use of space. Very large bedroom but then a very small living room / dinning room. It really has no space for a table that large and seems it would be difficult to have a tv there too

[@CrimsonKing666]

Old buildings are not the best option after the earthquakes. If she wants and old building I would suggest something in Coyoacan.

[@missmomus]

I would go for the second apartment on the dead-end street. Peace and quiet are worth everything in CDMX, especially if you do a lot of work at home. Nothing better than hearing vendors' loudspeakers blasting all day long.../s

[@MaddieGold]

I'm with you there! I want my home to be a sanctuary to retreat to and I go bonkers after a while with constant street noise

[@mig6pie]

[@MariaMarquez-ok4hf]

Yes, the second one looks great! Nice retreat, even with the red kitchen! 😄❤️

[@clareomarfran]

Agreed. I also like that red kitchen. And quiet is a premium feature in any city, anywhere.

[@zak2u2]

@@MaddieGold Keep looking. Somewhere is the perfect place. Old style. Not this plastic, IKEA look. Quiet with a small ground floor dirt patio for your new doggie to hang out in and to have a plant or three. Keep looking please!!!

[@heidibreckenridge9131]

I didn't like any of the apartments, however 2 wasn't that bad. I would see others. All of them are in "the worst feeling when there's an earthquake" area. Some of those old buildings are refurbished because they got damaged during the last earthquakes. It is a rather hectic city. I lived there for many years. I live in Queretaro now but soon to live in Yucatan/Quintana Roo. I can't deal with the hussle and bustle of this city. I like it more quiet.

@@MaddieGold hi Maddie. You didn't acknowledge my post above ....anyways just curious why you've chosen to live in Mexico city?

[@gilleygurl]

I was in Mexico City for the first time in the spring and I fell in love with it. I am an NYer who relocated to Colorado in the 90s, and Mexico City feels like NYC, but better. It's a lovely city with a fun and vibrant vibe. Honestly, I watch your channel all the time and I think this city fits you. FYI, if I had to choose, I would go with the first one with the balcony (but that's just me!). Good luck! Keep us posted!

[@edwardr5084]

@@MaddieGold 👏👏🌻

[@RocioGonzalez-sd7tb]

I liked the 1st apartment for you...but something SUPER important to consider- pick a building that was built AFTER 1985. Mexico City tends to have earthquakes, and the older ones may not hold up as well. I believe after that massive earthquake in September of 1985, buildings were built to withstand earthquakes better. Best of luck to you sweet girl 🥰.

[@phillipmel]

Me too. Good to see you doing so well. I also take note of Jordan's success. I've seriously considered living in Mexico (I'm a partial bi-ling.) in the past of my life. I've always felt that my best chances of success with a permenant partner would be with a latina. US women are way to competitive and/or boring. Also they have no real socio-economic "power", and can be obnixious freequently. Won't be asking any US woman to even meet for tea/coffee/or a beer. Except for you, Maddie. Good luck to you. good luck Andrew.

[@gumshew2007]

Maddie, thank you so much for showing us the apartments and price comparisons, it gives us an idea of what renting is like in CDMX and what we can get for the money. As for which apartment I like, I prefer the second one because it is roomy and it is on the quiet street. However, I hope you get the opportunity to check out many more apartments because for me personally, I would prefer an apartment that's within walking distance and close to the city center where you can walk to restaurants and parks, art galleries and shows, and if you decide to adopt a new fur baby the fur baby can walk with you to some of the parks and restaurants and you can eat out in the patio courtyard of the restaurant with your new baby. I'm really excited for you to live in CDMX and for new adventures that are awaiting you and can't wait for you to share your new journeys in CDMX with us. HUGS.

Great picks Maddie; however, out of all those neighborhoods I’d go for the apt in Narvarte Oriente, I really like that neighborhood, it’s central, lots of public transportation and bikes but also far away from all the rush and noise of Reforma or Insurgentes sur. Just be sure to check out the water flow of the building and talk to neighbors if you can to find out how safe it is at night, particularly for women. Good luck 🍀👍

I am an American who has lived in CDMX for 12 years. The apartments you posted are very good value in very desirable areas. The institution I work for houses many expats in Roma, Condesa, Etc. Rents are expensive in CDMX if you want to live in the desirable neighborhoods. The issue of getting a co-signer is real. It can stop a deal from happening. But some landlords are flexible and will accept the contract without a co-signer. The apartments you posted are good deals for this area. This is what you will pay. You may find better deals but these are about the value you will get in these areas. I hope this is helpful.

[@alexanderstarr4874]

In fact I would look for something from 300-600 a month. Just the basics and a comparable place to my US house.

I loved Mexico city, the restaurants, cafes, parks, museums... endless wandering...but by the end of my stay I have to admit it was a bit overwhelming... I was waiting for the metro and had to wait for 4 trains as they were packed... and people were shoved against the glass! Also I was there during a water shortage and all the laundromats were closed... I ended up paying 20$ cad for a load because the price was so high... so definitely get a place with water included. All that said I did really enjoy the city...

I agree it can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially in certain zones / certain situations. Today I ended up close to Mercado Corona and oof that was a doozy. SO many people, endless honking....my friend and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. P.S. that's wild about the $20 laundry situation, yikes!

@@MaddieGold Dont let this scare you off. Ive lived there multiple times and in certain areas, you can forget its CDMX. Check out Coyoacan. So peaceful, safe and the views are of the mountains. Stay at the Suites Perisur while you search and have a rooftop jacuzzi with a view of the Pyramid of Cuicuilco.

@@JK-nq1dl ironically I think I was trying to get to Coyoacan when I took the wrong metro and ended up in a busy crazy part of CDMX with Staples and a bunch of other malls.. it was overwhelming . But I do know of all the designated "magical" districts that I would have loved to visit and didn't get a chance. Besides the water/earthquake situation I would have no apprehension moving there!

@@rainbowfrequency1 Definitely give it another chance and you'll fall in love with it like I did.

Maddie, I watched a few of your old videos and recently recognized your smiling face flying solo. You look happy and content, so good for you! It's okay to be human and have tough days too, but it's just like you said, "needing to relearn who I am, and what I like". I wish you the best of luck in Mexico City and encourage you to get a dog when the timings right. In the meantime, pepper spray, a "blackjack" defensive tool, and maybe wearing/having a whistle is a good idea. They have door alarms and all sorts of goodies on Amazon, if you can get them delivered there. I'm old enough to be your father and would be worried for my daughter's safety, but also very proud of her bravery and fierce independence. Go get'em Maddie! Your Spanish is notably improved, well done!
