Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $1,450/month all-in living costs in Mexico City (about $800/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 58/100, internet 70/100, and visa difficulty rated "Moderate". Roma Norte and Condesa rule: Tree-lined, walkable, packed with cafés, taquerías and Art Deco apartments, but rents have doubled since 2020. Juárez and Escandón are the next wave with similar vibes at 30% less. Tacos al pastor are sacred at night: The trompo (rotating spit) only spins after dark. El Vilsito (welding shop by day, taquería by night), El Huequito and Los Cocuyos are city institutions. Lime, salsa verde, two tortillas, never order with cheese. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Mexico City city guide.

Metro is fast, Uber is safer late: Line 1 (pink) and Line 7 cross the centre for 5 pesos (~$0.30) but get crushed at rush hour. After 9pm, switch to Uber or Didi; never flag a libre (street) taxi, especially at the airport.
