I’ve now spent about 7 months within the last year in Mexico City and I love it. What an amazing city. In fact, I’m planning on establishing a home here soon. I’ve stayed in Roma Norte, Condesa but also in Escandon secc 1, Cuauhtémoc colonia and currently Napoles, which are more “regular” but nice neighborhoods ( which I prefer ).

You could be a victim of crime anywhere in the world, including your hometown. It’s a coin toss really but I will say I have never felt unsafe nor frightened here. I also love, love, love living at higher altitude, which can take some getting used to, for the mild climate, the skies are more beautiful ( my subjective opinion ) and hardly any mosquitoes ( I say rarely because I can’t prove there aren’t any at all but I haven’t met any ) which is a good thing as you’ll also rarely find windows with screens. I also find the city to be full of trees/shade. Average Uber ride costs between usd$3-7 depending on destination and time of day. Metro/bus costs 6 pesos/30 cents. I could go on …

@@lunaortizwilliamdominic2812 Tienes razón. La gente vive en lugares que puede permitirse y la vida no es justa, pero tu resentimiento hacia mí está fuera de lugar. No vivo en una burbuja y he visto mucha pobreza, no sólo en México. Todo esto es muy triste, pero también es mucho más grande que yo.
Driving to Brazil from USA in a couple weeks, this is much appreciated. Im going to spend an extended time in Mexico City when I drive through Mexico. I especially like learning about different neighborhoods in Mexico City. 150 museums? Im in awe!
That is awesome! I am jealous and envious of your upcoming adventure but don't think I will ever attempt it. Will you document your adventure? Also, I've heard that south of Panama has no roads. Maybe I am wrong but best of luck and enjoy your adventure.
The road connection stops at the Colombian-Panamanian border, a junction known as the Darien Gap. To cross this border, you either take a boat; take a plane or a helicopter; or hike through the jungle.
I live in Phoenix, AZ where the summer weather threatens to roast me alive but we'll always have Mexico City. I try to run away in July when I can go running in the Viveros park in 60-degree weather early in the morning. The afternoon monsoon rain cools the city down as well when it barely cracks 79. El DF is a perfect summer treat for me, thank you for posting this.
Excellent video. Very informative. It was all about Mexico City and the related cost of living; not like others who talk about themselves. Mexico City is my favorite city in the world even though I live in Laguna Beach.
I really appreciate the way you tour various housing options and all of the cost breakdowns listed for all expenses. Based on watching a few of your other videos I feel much more comfortable about exploring these different areas for the first time as a solo female.
That was very informative, Jim. Thanks. I've been to 5 continents but one of the best vacations was a week we spent in Mexico City. We stayed in el Centro and Roma Norte, enjoyed great food & drink, visited museums small & large, strolled through the neighborhoods, and browsed bookstores. Despite living in a large, bustling metropolis, the locals were friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back.
Another great video. What a beautiful place, so lush, green, and trendy. Best of all ... affordable! Historic, cultural, and I am very, very tempted to come check it out thus summer. A joy to watch!
You have to get used to earthquake protocols in Condesa. In other areas of Mexico City, like San Angel or Coyoacan, earthquakes are less intense (or intensified by the terrain)
I pay $1,500 USD a month for a 2 bedroom furnished apartment all bills paid in Santa Fe (the business area far south in Mexico city). Then add on transport, food, reasonably, eating out etc and my monthly budget is more like $2,500 USD, maybe more honestly. (Sidenote, once the initial honeymoon phase of living here wears off, you start to feel the realities of every day life much more...the poverty, safety, etc. Expat nomads live in their own la la land bubbles and never experience reality.
Excellent video. Can you do one for the neighborhoods a little further out from the center? I'm specifically interested in the areas near the Frida Kahlo house (I believe that is El Carmen in Coyoacan), the Mercado Coyoacan, and Plaza Jardin Hidalgo. Thanks!

@@LivingOverseasTV Thanks for replying! When you do you videos can you let people know you are renting a shared room isntead a whole house? I think everyone assumes that was for your own private apartment.
You never need AC and good luck getting apartments with heating in Roma and Condesa.... And believe me some days you need it as temperatures deep into the 40s (below 5C) at night. But if you are planning to move to Mexico City you will not be able to beat the food anywhere in the Americas (note Mexico City does not beach Lyon in France or San Sébastian in Spain).
Why is that the AirB&B link hasn't been shared as requested by more than a dozen people here? Prices were not really the ones shown on the screen? Just saying, prove me wrong, please!
Great video! Thank you! I'm so interested in La Condesa. Without a car, would I be able to easily walk to a market for weekly basic groceries? Or would I need to Uber?
@Kai Ikaika Once again-thank you! I have watched many videos of life in Mexico City and I will say that the thought of driving there scares the wits out of me! I'd definitely prefer not to!
So if you want to move there but keep being a US resident how would you go about attaining dual citizenship my grandfather was from Monterrey mexico he only wanted to reside in US which he legally did by getting all proper documentation from Mexico before leaving Mexico unto US soil but he never wanted to become a US citizen he wanted to be dual residence citizenship because all his family was in Mexico and he wanted to be able to travel to Mexico when he wanted to go there and visit.
The permanent residence actually gets you a Mexican passport. I don't know how that is, but I have a friend with a Mexican passport for having an apartment in Zihuatanejo and living there a few months of the year for a few years.
That is not true. To hold a Mexican passport you need to go through a process of naturalisation or get it through marriage. Just by buying an appartment getting the nationality is not possible.
What are some good neighborhoods in Mexico City that are rich in ex-pats, co-working spaces, very safe, good singles life, and where you can live for $1000/month? I am planning to save $25K or more and live there for at least 2 years assuming I cannot make any income being a self-employed Loan Broker.
Thank you for the video! How about the air pollution? It’s my third day here and it’s getting red in the airiq app.. Sneezing and allergic reaction as a result.
It is definitely polluted, although less so compared to many other similar sized cities, it is a little (or a lot) screwed due to having a huge pop, being stuck in a valley of mountains, as well as water not being drinkable (in the whole country). That being said I think CDMX is fantastic, but I wouldn’t want to spend more than a few days at a time there. For longer term, I would consider somewhere like Oaxaca, which is more liveable to me, less polluted, as well as more magical in a certain sense, despite being much smaller.
!! Amigo ... Roma norte , condesa , coyoacan , definitely isn't for everyone ..you're right. If you have 4000 thousand dollars to spare every month , you might be able to live there and obviously like in any other city this one is for middle class up individuals regardless your nationality !!
I’ve been here for two and a half months now, living in a somewhat pricey Airbnb in Polanco Nuevo. A friend came to visit from Los Angeles this past week and every meal we had was upwards of $50-80 USD. I was really shocked by these prices because yes, there are great and less expensive eats all over town. I felt very ripped off. Never again for anyone else who visits. Hoping to find a lovely rental in this amazing city.
you cant just feel ripped off because you perceived it as some poor cheap country mexico is extremely varied and you chose to go to the nicest place so those prices make sense. its crazy youre acting surprised about food costing basically what it would cost in the us in a place that is the equivalent to beverly hills of mexico
Kathie si quieres comer barato, ve a los locales de comida de cualquier mercado. Son económicos y deliciosos. Salgan sin miedo de la burbuja de lugares como Polanco o la Condesa
Standards vary. - - - People who live there - the average Mexican - surely doesn't live like your $2000 a month budget (?) do they ? --- I just looked it up & the ''average'' Mexican makes $1526 in Mexico City. --- That $2000 there would be substantially greater in the US. Perhaps $10000 in California many places ? --- Taxes come out of the $1526 too !
Great video, thanks. Are they still wearing pointless masks in Mexico City at this time or have they calmed down? I was over there in Feb-Mar & they were ubiquitous. I am going to live there; there is no mask requirement in my home country the U.K.
It may be pointless tu YOU... but being considerate and respectful to other's own choices is something that MASK OR NOT MASK shows what kind of person you are...! ✌
@@josepadilla7052 Aerosolised virus particles are hundreds of times smaller than holes in the masks that most people wear. They demonstrably have no effect on virus transmission, so yes I suppose it does show what type of person you are if you wear a mask to appease the irrational fear of other people (or your own).
Gee! I've always considered Roma, Roma Norte and the other hoods that you mentioned as poor to middle income parts of the city with kind of old building. No idea, why you mentioned them as rich parts of the city. This is not true. For those who have lived decades we know those rich areas none of them have many restaurants or even public transport but I guess you just followed other RUclipsrs and don't know Mexico city. Also, if you have NOT experienced or been a victim of any crime, why did you mention that the city or some parts are not safe. I've been to the most populated and chaotic areas of the city, I never experienced anything so this lead me to think again that you don't know the city.
Mexicans have told me places like tepito are very dangerous. Is that true? Regardless, it's safe to assume some areas are much less safer than others by just looking at numbers. It's that way in every large city.
