  • In this video we go apartment hunting in Mexico City. Jenny has been offered employment in CDMX so we are looking for apartments in the Coyoacan and Benito Juarez areas. These apartment tours include luxury amenities but also some budget-friendly options... at least, as far as Mexico City prices go.

    How do you not have more followers , this is probably the most detailed apartment hunting video of Mexico City I’ve seen . We just moved to condesa , it was a pain to go thru the application process. They wanted your first born and the deed to house you owned . Ridiculous. Keep up the great content .

    Fellow Chicana moving to CDMX in a few months here. Thanks so much for this video!!! I really needed to see something like this. You guys went to so many neighborhoods I never even heard of and it was so helpful to see what prices currently are. Congrats on snagging a great apartment. You give me hope that I'll be able to find something as well.

    • @EatBailaTravel
      @EatBailaTravel  Před 11 měsíci +2

      that's a good point, most of the neighborhoods we'd often hear about are Roma, Polanco, Condesa, etc. etc. the fancier neighborhoods where most of the expats/foreigners live. I'm glad this was helpful! and thank you 🙂😁

    Thank you for taking us apartment hunting with you, low inventory and high demand are awful to negotiate but you got an apartment in a neighborhood that you wanted, congratulations! I hope that you love your new job, Jenny! It would be interesting to see how you went about furnishing your new place and how your day-to-day living will be now that you won't be traveling as much, that will give us an idea what it will be like when we move there.

    22,000 pesos in del valle is cheap, I’m from Mexico city. by law the rent includes water fee so you have water in the building. So if they tell you that the rent is not included, they are lying.

    • @EatBailaTravel
      @EatBailaTravel  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Wow, I figured 22K for rent was average, but 'cheap' for the area? Dang, costs are crazy high. Good to know about the water! Thanks!

    Congratulations on your place. We went to Mexico the 1st 2 weeks of August for our 25th Anniversary. We were in Mexico City the 1st week, Taxco for the weekend and then flew to Merida for 6 days. Wish we had seen you walking around! We were impressed with all the parks and green space in MXCD. And being from the US, we felt safer there in that we didn't worry about the shootings. Hoping everything goes well with your new careers!

    I’ve been looking into CDMX as my first landing spot when I move to Mexico later this year (have temp res already). Really helps to see the various neighborhoods! I’ve been thinking Coyoacan only bc I don’t know anything about other neighborhoods and hard to find English speaking videos (I have some Spanish ). Acacias looks like a nice neighborhood. As a single woman I’m hoping to find a two bed for less than $1000. Sounds like it will be tough but not impossible perhaps. Hope you’ll share more videos of local neighborhoods in CDMX! Glad you found a place!

    • @EatBailaTravel
      @EatBailaTravel  Před 11 měsíci +2

    I live in Queretaro, and have stayed in my apartment for over 2 years. !00% furnished, maid, security, and I added a recliner, freezer and another small refrigerator. etc. I lived in a high rise in Chicago. Check neighborhood at night and weekends. I have one of the small oven, that I put away, for I want an electric stove. The cooktop is wonderful.
    I love you guys. 1985 Earthquake was too scary for me, and my Acapulco has them all the time. I am retired. I pray you find what you want. I pay 15k per month, but it includes all utilities. The vendors may come out at night.
    I use online shopping for home delivery. I was born in Chicago in 1942, and have been coming to Mexico since age 20.
    I have live in Southside CHicago, the loop, Oak Park, and Waukegan.

    The brand new high rise is the type of apartment you get in Lima Peru - got balcony space with the two full bathrooms but like you say, a bit small at around 68 sqm and must be if you're coming from the states but a lot of these types of apartment blocks are going up all over Lima and you can buy one in a nice part of town for 120000 USD, Interesting though, I think a good location is one near a metro stop, in London, house prices go up the nearer it is to an underground station.

      @@EatBailaTravel I did, even in the more impoverished areas it was pretty expensive to rent but when a flat was near an underground station wherever it was - that it was within close walking distance of an underground station would be part of the list of amenities. If you were near one, you could get around London pretty easily and cheaply so it was always a bonus. By the way, I liked your final choice, big kitchen and a massive shower (which I really like) but I don't think I saw the front of the living room, do you have a balcony or a nice view?

If someone speaks a language at C2 level, pointing out one single word that’s getting pronounced wrong isn’t meant to make fun of that person. Maybe it’s out of place to say something.
