$700,000 Homes in Mexico City

Condesa | 12.9 million Mexican pesos ($777,000)

A two-bedroom, two-bath condominium facing a leafy park in a lively historic neighborhood.

This sunny condominium in Mexico City’s elegant Condesa neighborhood, with spaces for living, working and entertaining, overlooks the treetops of Parque Mexico. Built in 1985 and remodeled in 2004 by the Mexican design and architecture firm HABITACIÓN 116, the residence features honey-colored hardwood floors, double pane windows, quarters for a live-in housekeeper and a flex room that could be converted into an office or third bedroom. The unit, one of two residences on the seventh floor of a mid-rise condominium, comes with two gated parking spaces.

The building is tucked between two parks. Parque Mexico, across the street, has tree-lined paths and play areas for children. A block away is the petite Parque España. And Bosque de Chapultepec, with almost 1,700 acres of lawns, bike paths, museums, monuments and water features, is about a mile westward. Near the residence are cafes, restaurants, boutiques and a supermarket. Benito Juárez International Airport is about eight miles east.
