About Coyoacán

Coyoacán is the colonial heart of southern Mexico City, a famously charming district of cobbled streets, shaded plazas (Plaza Hidalgo and Jardín Centenario), the Frida Kahlo Museum, markets and a deep bohemian-intellectual heritage. It feels like a village within the metropolis and is among the most coveted lifestyle addresses in the city. For investors, Coyoacán is a lifestyle-and-stability play more than a high-yield one. Two-bedroom apartments and character homes suit its family and professional buyers; gross yields tend to run toward the city average to slightly below (~5%) because purchase prices carry a prestige and charm premium. Tourism around the Frida Kahlo barrio also supports a boutique short-let market. The case is blue-chip, character real estate with enduring demand and resilience; the trade-offs are premium pricing and modest yields. Peso-denominated.
