The Best Neighbourhoods in Mexico City

[@nomadcapitalist]

Which neighborhood have you visited before? Let us know in the comments below!

Bro with gun violence in Mexico I doubt I will ever visit their itz lyk usa prefer Colombia Nevis en malta

THIS WAS AN OUTSTANDING VIDEO!! THANK YOU! Great information and pics that can be used by your followers. Practical information, almost like we were traveling with you. It's like your team is now our personal concierge, seeking out the best wherever we travel. Would love to see so much more just like this. You are our International Man of Mystery and now you spill some of your best kept secrets. PERFECTION!!!

Cool images, but that do not reflect the SUPER HIGH AIR POLLUTION leves. Luxury at it's best trying to disguise it. Paris and Milán have the same issue. There are many studies linking air pollution to heavy health problems. Air pollution leves can be easily checked with many apps, and could help to inform on longer live quality perspectivas for your customers.

Mexican police are shaking down foreign tourists walking down the street in Condesa and Roma for no reason right now. You better have your passport on you. You have been warned.

[@cylon5741]

Stayed @1:37 and in Zona Rosa. Visited Centro, Lomas, etc. Street trees, parks, architecture, vibrancy, urbanity, history, magic.

[@eduardof7322]

Other neighborhoods that as a local I would highly recommend are Coyoacán and San Ángel, both use to be towns outside Mexico City but then got absorbed by the urban spread, and yet, they were able to kept most of their charm intact. They are really incredible for nightlife and a cultural scene. If you want something more affordable in an urban middle class style, you have Del Valle, Nápoles, San Rafael and Narvarte, all with a similar vibe and beauty as Roma Norte yet more chill and considerably cheaper. Now if you want luxury but in more intimate and less touristy areas, you have San José insurgentes, Guadalupe Inn, Minerva, Tlacopac and of course Chimalistac, an absolutely beautiful hidden gem with some residences that can reach many millions of dollars, in this old and classic colonial Mexican style that I find so unique.

[@CurtisMoe]

Thank you. I am heading to the city on Friday for a couple weekks. Will checl those out.

Mexico has been one of the best countries I've ever visited too.

[@latinaalma1947]

Mexico and Mexico City has so many wonderful places..truly!

[@pandaosa9]

We're big fans of Coyoacán. Very nice with great character, and somewhat more affordable than Roma, Condesa, and Polanco. Obviously not an issue for your target demographic, but you can find higher end places there too.

[@Pimp-Master]

Getting around Coyoacan is a pain in the butt. It's not well served by regular transpo options.

[@pandaosa9]

@@Pimp-Master I could see that. I find it nice to walk around though. We would walk or take ubers, which was easy. I imagine if you want to access other public transportation that it may be less convenient.

[@FredoTheMan1]

Really? When I lived in Mexico City Coyoacan was quite a bit more expensive than Roma. Good to know. I really like it there and plan to retire to Mexico this year.

[@melmartinez9589]

CDMX is also in a great location. You can take a one hour, hour and half flight to almost anywhere in Mexico. I would suggest that you make a video about Monterrey in case you haven't yet. Love your videos!!!

[@zhvonte]

Queretaro isn't exactly a MC suburb, but within two hour drive from downtown. This is literally one of the best 1 million people plus city where the whole area is almost all upper class and rich. My brother lives there with his wife for 10 years now.

[@latinaalma1947]

I liked it better 20/30 yrs ago before the manufacturing development...it was quieter then but yes it is very nice.

[@r3dp1ll]

I would add Guanajuato. Super super beautiful

[@MichaelKentSmith]

I lived in both Queretaro and Guanajuato for 8 years total. I very much like both places but prefer living in Queretaro because Guanajuato is a bit provincial and lacking in some basic things, so you have to drive to Leon -- a city I don't enjoy -- to find them. Queretaro has pretty much anything you'd need. On the other hand Guanajuato has a charm factor off the charts. It's magical.

[@latinaalma1947]

Love Mexico City...I am in Guatemala...the old colonial capital of Central Antigua, Guatemala lovely, quiet and safe...the capital is 2 hours away. There are exclusive areas of Guatemala CIty just as in Mexico CIty, exclusive hotels, restaurants, shopping etc. Mexico CIty is gorgeous...my favorite area is Coyoacan.

[@Jellycow1]

Mexico city is probably the coolest place I've ever been. Love that it's getting attention but I don't want too many people to move here and run up the prices 😭

[@abgaval9520]

Exactly, u wish nobody knew about it now

[@davidl6332]

Exacto, especialmente los extranjeros que suben todos los precios... Y no entienden la vida local y su paisaje sonoro

[@luisorozco4370]

C'mon, the Mexico City area has been attracting people for literally centuries and it's not going to stop: Aztecs, Spaniards, Jews, Lebanese, Spaniards again (Spanish civil war), Argentinians, Colombians, Venezuelans and, of course, Mexicans from every corner of the country.

[@phil2u48]

De acuerdo…

[@ericktellez7632]

bro, mexico city already has like 20 something million people. it has more people than some countries' entire population. it aint no secret town.

[@cordeliaadams4898]

This is my city! It is so interesting, beautiful and full of secrets to discover. And the weather is fantastic, the food, too. I ❤️ Ciudad de México.

[@craigferrante3893]

A few days ago an old man in Chihuahua told me that Mexican food will make me strong.

[@marcelbilbao8533]

I agree with you, the shopping experience alone unparallel in Latin America from luxury malls to humble markets... They are quite a few more neighborhoods that you could live in, to me Chimalistac it's just gorgeous and in general all that Southside of the city, around Perisur Mall it's really nice...

[@CoachatCole]

La reforma is the best!!!! The first time I saw it I fell in love. The streets and neighborhood behind Torre major is where I want to retire and live.

[@MexicaYaotl]

[@rayfinkle9369]

There's just so many. You can literally just end up in any city and make the best of it. That's what I did. I could have been just as comfortable living in San Cristobal de las Casas as Puebla, or San Miguel de Allende, or Aguascalientes. In my opinion, they all have their charm. But a Mexico series would be a good idea!

Lived in Polanco, just a block from that first shot. It's great and oh a very good location!

[@frankam3443]

Apart from the central area, Coyoacán, El Pedregal, Lomas de Chapultepec, Tlalpan (near the University of Mexico campus), Nuevo Polanco, San Ángel, etc. Basically the city's whole West and South-West sectors 👌❤️👍

[@phil2u48]

I hope to retire to CDMX and live in either La Condesa or Roma Norte.

[@ozzyosbournereal]

Lived in Polanco last summer, before that Reforma, and before that Roma Norte. CDMX is awesome!

[@lucasdallabara7132]

São Paulo, Buenos Aires and México City are very similar cities, in my opinion. You should visit this others two cities to get the vibe of them too! and Great job in the channel dude!

[@davidl6332]

You need to mention Colonia del Valle, Coyoacán, Downtown

[@albertohernandezgastelu9916]

You should also try the colorful neighbourhoods of Tlatelolco, La Guerrero and Tepito... you'll be -shot- I mean shocked from its beauty! Joking aside; I've been living here 15 years, and if you don't mind dropping the luxury a bit, and stay in a normal but cool area, I could recommend my neighbourhood, Coapa.

Miramontes, Acoxpa, Brujas, and Div del Norte have very nice houses.

[@Piwork69]

My abuelos lived in Tlatelolco, I last visited in the mid-90's after college. Yes the city core area is much more gritty, dirty and urban. Its a mix of industrial and modest apartments. Not fancy at all. However, enjoyed walking out of their apartment and Reforma is only a few steps away. Or buying pan dulce in one of the shops in the unidad. I got to know the city bc I went everywhere as tourist but mostly working for a relative doing errands during those 6 months I was there. I love America, where I was born, but I equally love Mexico as the land of my roots.

Genuinely the only bad things are pollution and earthquakes

[@pottertheavenger1363]

For the affordable and middle to middle high class neighborhoods you can go south to Taxqueña metro station. Miguel Angel Q is an avenue with really nice neighborhoods, as is Miramontes, going straight south. The neighborhoods surrounding the National High School 5 are all very new, nice, and have large houses, and have easy access to Tlalpan avenue. Tlalpan avenue in itself leads into the historic center, and has a metro line. The neighborhoods there are also nice and affordable.

No restaurants in Lomas cause it's the wealthiest residential only neighborhood. People from Lomas hang out in Polanco, which is the most important place for upscale dinning, partying and shopping.

Me and my wife are going to Mexico as self employed from the UK. I was wondering if you know whether if we pay Tax in the UK we have to pay Tax in Mexico. I know the USA and Mexico you have to pay double tax but we were not sure if we would have to as it seems the UK has some sort of agreement but can't understand the finance lingo. We would be opening a Mexican bank account and then transferring from a UK bank.

[@peaceandlove544]

You do not double tax if you are US citizen, check if Mexico and your country have a non-double tax treaty. And great you are coming to Mexico. Hope you find the right town and neighborhood for you both where you can enjoy are culture, weather, history, friendlyness, markets, activities, and you are able to make good friends and neighbors.

Ok so this guy's channel is called "nomad capitalist" not for the working or and working poor. It is for the middle and upper middle class from USA Canada Europe south Africa et al. These folks with some caah but don't like there current location because of the cost of living and all those people they don't like. The go to these types of KZbin channels to seek a better life on the cheap. Getting all there homies together to create hip bubbles of boutique life and they will start a charity for the poor and stray animals. But truth is these expats are doing what all humans have done for out entire human history. People move for various reasons, (and the don't all bring money) but they want something better and they will effect the local population in good and bad ways. I'm a permanent resident of Mexico. I've live in del Valle Norte for about 3 years. I'm 58, retired early and have a good pension. I am very very fortunate. I'm a white male, so to be clear, I've always had it better but it years to get it. it's not a fair world and rich people and light skinned people get treated better. Mexicans are are awesome kind and above all generally happier than gringos period. This is not a perfect city or country and it's full of contradictions. But in general I can say I'm happy to be able to live here to learn the language and the culture and I don't want be a part of social entitled anything but I have "friends.." of all wealth and backgrounds. If you choose to live in a bubble ya just will never experience the value of the diversity of humanity. CDMX, DF! chilango! no mamas guy, it's a fabulous city and every day is a gift. But certainly if you want the Roma hipster tourists thing it's there. But it's a huge city and as a former los Angelino I can say it just depends on what you want this city is cosmopolitan, international and chill. I feel very safe never had any issues. I was stabbed in LA/ Hollywood in a liquor store parking lot in 2001. I lived in Puerto Vallarta for less than a year, was not for me. But gringos live it. I like the size the energy the vibe and the ability to be anonymous in a huge city that for me is very affordable. But I am one of the fortunate and I know it.

Its between irresponsible and criminal for you to recommend Mexico City as a safe place or Polanco and Las lomas or La Condesa restaurants . Theres a reason for the 4 meter high barbed wired walls around those beautiful houses, and for the Fords with body guards driving behind those BmW’s. I’ve lived 60 years in an affluent neighborhood,we have lost family members and friends to kidnappings and muggings gone wrong. When I was young it was paradise then it became a branch of hell now its Satan’s headquarters. Seems you’ve never heard of those nice restaurants being raided by gangs and all customers robbed at gun point. But I guess you don’t care or feel responsible as long as you get lots of likes and subscriptions. No doubt the internet open the flood gates for all kinds of dunces.
