Colonia México

A guide to buying and living in the area

Why look here

If you like midcentury houses, see how they open onto the garden. Colonia México has documented examples of detached homes with low volumes and large windows facing outside. Consider it if you want breakfast on the terrace, a garden view from the living room or a renovation that keeps mature trees.

What to check when you visit

Check whether the garden is shaded when you would use it. Ask which woodwork, floors and roofs are original and what was added. If remodeling, visit with an architect to distinguish what is worth keeping from what should go in the budget.
