Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Mexico City
The hottest expat destination in Latin America right now, with an incredible food and culture scene at a fraction of US prices -- rent in trendy Roma Norte or Condesa runs $800-$1,200/month. Walkable central neighborhoods, reliable Uber, and a growing English-speaking community make daily life easy, though learning Spanish opens the real city. Safety requires street smarts in certain areas, but most expats feel comfortable with basic precautions.
Taco stands on every corner, rooftop mezcal at sunset, a rhythm of life where lunch is the main event and the street markets overflow with colors you forgot existed.

Next steps for moving to Mexico
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
