I would recommend visiting and getting a short term accommodation near Roma Norte. There's a few peripheral areas around there that haven't had as much price inflation, but you'll want to identify them by physically being there as there's other closeby areas that you don't want to be in (Doctores).
If you're willing to go a bit further south in the city (45-60 minutes from Condesa, depending on traffic), Coyoacan is a great area. I haven't lived around UNAM but I hear it's very lively. You could also go for a more tranquil existence even further south in Tlalpan, or go east outside the city to a colonial style town like Valle de Bravo (known for its lake and paragliding). A lot of your preference will depend on your level of Spanish and how much you like being around expats.
- jborichevskiy 5y ago> go east outside the city to a colonial style town like Valle de Bravo I didn't realize there are longer-term stays here. Would this be found via Aribnb or elsewhere? Also, how near would it be to food/coffee/groceries/etc?
- tdfx 5y agoActually, it's west (not sure how I messed that up). Yes, it's a fully functioning town/city of ~60k people with all the major things you're used to (convenience stores, grocery stores, etc.), though you might need to go into Toluca or Mexico City if you're furniture shopping or something. It's a common weekend and holiday destination for people from the city and there's some foreigners living there permanently, though the big draw for foreigners is the paragliding community.
