Around

A second floor apartment with a small terrace overlooking its quiet Condesa street, this apartment is a pretty, 15-minute walk from artsy Roma and also easily accessible to the Polanco neighborhood and the Great Museums and downtown area of Mexico City. A leafy urban enclave known for its vintage architecture, La Condesa is a vibrant neighborhood with a rich cultural history. Art Deco architecture and Art Nouveau mansions line most streets, giving the area a European feel, and the neighborhood is also home to several parks—Parque México, Parque España—plus dozens of leafy squares and aristocratic courtyards. Its abundance of green spaces has made it the neighborhood for dog-walkers and runners, and most parks have canine zones to welcome the pooches. Sidewalk cafes and restaurants join lower key taquerias, and tabernas join trendy boutiques along the neighborhood’s busy streets, and at night the area fills with young professionals, who gather at bars and nightclubs.

A great base for exploring greater Mexico City, La Condesa has bohemian origins—this section of the city rose in fame as the preferred stomping grounds of artists and intellectuals during the Mexican Revolution. The property is in Condesa’s Colonia Hípodromo, one of three smaller subdivisions that make up the entire neighborhood. Avenida Amsterdam has a leafy median at its center, and is a great spot to take in the area’s classic architecture. And the vast Bosque de Chapultepec is right next door.
