What renting in Cuauhtémoc actually costs
Asking rents from every Inmuebles24 listing in Cuauhtémoc, September 2026. Ranges are the middle half of the market, in pesos per month; the premium row runs from the median two-bedroom rent to the 90th percentile. There were too few three-bedroom listings to quote a range.
| Size | Monthly rent | Typical area |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | $19,000 to $34,000 MXN | 45 to 78 m² |
| 2 bedroom | $30,000 to $45,000 MXN | 78 to 119 m² |
| Premium 2-bedroom (upper half of the market) | $35,000 to $58,000 MXN | n/a |
Roughly $1,900 to $3,150 USD for a premium two-bedroom and $1,050 to $1,850 USD for a one-bedroom, with typically more square metres per peso than anywhere else on this list.
Note the naming: Colonia Cuauhtémoc is a specific neighborhood beside Reforma. Alcaldía Cuauhtémoc is the much larger borough that also contains Roma, Condesa and Juárez. Listings use both, so confirm which one a listing means.
What Cuauhtémoc is like to live in
Quiet, established and residential. The housing stock is largely mid-century, with clean horizontal balconies and mosaic detailing, and a good share of it is generously sized because it was built for families rather than for singles.
Several embassies sit here, which brings a steady security presence and a long-term resident population that is older and less transient than Roma’s. Reforma is a short walk, and so is Chapultepec.
The trade-off is that it is genuinely quiet. Fewer cafés, fewer restaurants, less happening at street level. People who love it describe it as living in a real neighborhood; people who leave it say they felt slightly outside things.
Who Cuauhtémoc suits, and who it doesn’t
It suits you if you want space and quiet, you are working from home, you have been in the city long enough to stop needing to be in the middle of it, or you want the most apartment per peso.
It does not suit you if this is your first month in Mexico City and you want to meet people by walking outside.

They border each other, and Cuauhtémoc asks somewhat less, especially for a one-bedroom. Pick Cuauhtémoc for space and quiet, Juárez for being closer to things happening.
What a Cuauhtémoc landlord will ask you for
Proof of income at three times the rent, one month deposit, and an aval or póliza jurídica, plus the standard documents. More of the stock here is held by long-term individual owners, so expect more variation in how strictly the requirements are applied and slightly more room to negotiate.
Available apartments in Cuauhtémoc
We publish a unit here only once an agent has confirmed it is still available that week. Roughly half of what sits on the big Mexican portals is already gone, so we would rather show you nothing than show you something that is not there.
