What do you think of these rental options? Are they worth the price? 🏡Should I make one of them my new home? One thing I'm running into that I meant to elaborate more on in this video is that most of these landlords not only require a 1-year lease, they also want a type of insurance policy (typically costs 45% of a month's rent) PLUS a co-signer who lives in Mexico (which I don't have). Sooooo I'm hoping to find a landlord who's more open-minded to a "traditional" signed lease situation and/or perhaps an alternate arrangement like paying X months of rent in advance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We'll see!

Maddie, Just my 2-cents of advice about living in CDMX. I lived there for 3 years and was there for the last big earthquake. Look for a place that is, first of all, no more than a few floors above the street. Just in case you have to get out in a hurry. In fact you should really pay attention to the look and structure of the building that you are moving into. Make sure it is safe and you feel ok about getting out in an event. YOu should know by now that certain areas are more prone to damage and movement due to the ground the building sits on. Also try to see the property during different parts of the day. As some areas can be really busy during the day and just the opposite at night, which could be a safety issue. You will also know if you have lots of noise from the street or neighbors. Turn on the water in the shower at each place. Make sure that there is sufficient water pressure and that the area doesn't have regular outages. I would try to be located near a major metro or Metrobus line unless you are going to take Ubers everywhere. Explore the neighborhood and see what's around as far as supermarkets, cafes, etc.

I would go for the second apartment on the dead-end street. Peace and quiet are worth everything in CDMX, especially if you do a lot of work at home. Nothing better than hearing vendors' loudspeakers blasting all day long.../s

Don't settle too soon on a place: Take your time so you'll be happy with location, amenities, and cost. Good apartment hunting! 😊

I didn't like any of the apartments, however 2 wasn't that bad. I would see others. All of them are in "the worst feeling when there's an earthquake" area. Some of those old buildings are refurbished because they got damaged during the last earthquakes. It is a rather hectic city. I lived there for many years. I live in Queretaro now but soon to live in Yucatan/Quintana Roo. I can't deal with the hussle and bustle of this city. I like it more quiet.

#2 for sure. You won't have to worry about paying the utilities, internet etc.. Plus is has a bigger fridge. With the red kitchen, I'm sure you can decorate it and make it your own.

I was in Mexico City for the first time in the spring and I fell in love with it. I am an NYer who relocated to Colorado in the 90s, and Mexico City feels like NYC, but better. It's a lovely city with a fun and vibrant vibe. Honestly, I watch your channel all the time and I think this city fits you. FYI, if I had to choose, I would go with the first one with the balcony (but that's just me!). Good luck! Keep us posted!

Bathroom off kitchen is not too bad because if you host guests they don't have to enter your bedroom. Love the energy put into gonging the bell 3 times!

I liked the 1st apartment for you...but something SUPER important to consider- pick a building that was built AFTER 1985. Mexico City tends to have earthquakes, and the older ones may not hold up as well. I believe after that massive earthquake in September of 1985, buildings were built to withstand earthquakes better. Best of luck to you sweet girl 🥰.

Missed you the last few weeks, we’re all here anxiously waiting for your next upload. Take a well deserved break and have a good rest. We’ll be here! Sending prayers and love. 🤗

We miss you, Maddie! Love and support from Tampa!

Maddie hope everything is okay! we miss you

I liked the first and the second apartment. Either would be fine, but if you're concerned about noise I would definitely take the second one.

I love tours of homes, so thank you for sharing with us (I must've been a real estate agent in a past life - lol). Your content keeps getting better & better!

We miss you Maddie. I hope you are doing well. I am waiting for your next video.

Maddie, thank you so much for showing us the apartments and price comparisons, it gives us an idea of what renting is like in CDMX and what we can get for the money. As for which apartment I like, I prefer the second one because it is roomy and it is on the quiet street. However, I hope you get the opportunity to check out many more apartments because for me personally, I would prefer an apartment that's within walking distance and close to the city center where you can walk to restaurants and parks, art galleries and shows, and if you decide to adopt a new fur baby the fur baby can walk with you to some of the parks and restaurants and you can eat out in the patio courtyard of the restaurant with your new baby. I'm really excited for you to live in CDMX and for new adventures that are awaiting you and can't wait for you to share your new journeys in CDMX with us. HUGS.

Yours is the only channel about mexico we watch. Really nice to see you coming into your own in this video. I can literally see your happiness and confidence growing! Awesome!

I am an American who has lived in CDMX for 12 years. The apartments you posted are very good value in very desirable areas. The institution I work for houses many expats in Roma, Condesa, Etc. Rents are expensive in CDMX if you want to live in the desirable neighborhoods. The issue of getting a co-signer is real. It can stop a deal from happening. But some landlords are flexible and will accept the contract without a co-signer. The apartments you posted are good deals for this area. This is what you will pay. You may find better deals but these are about the value you will get in these areas. I hope this is helpful.

Hey Maddie...no vids! Hope all is well. Post a quick update if you're just taking some time off.

Maddie miss seeing you been over a month , your so precious like a little grand daughter miss your posts , thank you for all your posts God bless

Stating the obvious, I’m sure it’s been said megazillion times already………..but I feel compelled to voice it………Miss Maddie, you are a rare individual and you are so lucky to be who you are, any hard emotional times you are experiencing are your building blocks and the pain and trials are part of who you are, they are making you a even more spectacular woman. You have the ability to have a wonderful future, and your now ain’t to walk away from…….because your now has you in it.

The second one is nice and quiet. I’ve never been to CDMX but from my experience in Monterrey NL a little peace and quiet is always a premium in these larger cities in Mexico.

Let's gooooo!!!!!!!! Snap out of it!!!! You are going to be good work helps with everything it helped me through my depression and anxiety you got this!!!

Your killing it Maddie . I’ve enjoyed your last 3 Videos very much . Keep it up !! I give you many props for doing this solo . Stay safe .

Hey Maddie, glad to see things are going well for you. Great video and keep moving forward.

Obviously it’s your choice Maddie,however, I can see you in the very first apartment. Can’t beat that price either. It seems cozy for a one bedroom and fits you. Happy home hunting 😊💕

I love the vibe of this one in Narvarte for you. I hope you made your decision already and that you´re happy and glowing that vibe that makes Maddie, awesome. Blessings.

I’m thinking 🤔 Maddie has had an emotional break down & not doing well…her life since the break up has not gone well, if someone knows how to contact her it might be a good idea to do a wellness check.

So something that the Tangerine travels channel didn’t always showcase were BUDGET apartments. I really appreciate this video because I am just an average person, and I would find it absolutely BONKERS to pay more than I pay here in the US ($1,000) for a house in mexico. In fact I would look for something from 300-600 a month. Just the basics and a comparable place to my US house.

happy to see you past the 53K subscriber threshold! Keep it up, Maddie!

Also… the best thing about Mexico City is their location, so any day you can take a bus and go to the state of Morelos in 1 hour or a little more (Cuernavaca, Tepoztlan, Tequesquitengo, Cocoyoc) or to Puebla (2 hrs) or to Queretaro (3 hrs) or to Acapulco (4 hrs) and they’re regular travels that almost every person here like to do every week, so you can always find travel partners.

I was a bit confused as to why you were doing videos on your own and I haven’t seen your previous channel in awhile but I definitely realized why. I’m so happy for you Maddie and I’m definitely going to keep watch your videos and wish nothing but the best, excited to see what the future holds for you :)

Thank you for taking us along post relationship. I think it’s good to see your new adventures as you grow in your independence. I’m really enjoying watching your videos. Thanks again and wishing you good karma. Hugs!

Maddi?!! Where you be girl?!! I pray all is well with you wherever you are...God Bless hum

Great picks Maddie; however, out of all those neighborhoods I’d go for the apt in Narvarte Oriente, I really like that neighborhood, it’s central, lots of public transportation and bikes but also far away from all the rush and noise of Reforma or Insurgentes sur. Just be sure to check out the water flow of the building and talk to neighbors if you can to find out how safe it is at night, particularly for women. Good luck 🍀👍

Maddie, I really like your speaking voice and you have entertaining “delivery” in terms of your approach and style. I hope you are still finding a passion for showing us your experiences in Mexico! I liked this video. Mexico City is a place I’ve been curious but a little afraid of visiting during stop overs in Mexico.

Amazing content, I am already two showings in and love how you see the potential in living in Mexico City. My children and I plan to live next Summer in Mexico, perhaps one month in MXC and one in a coastal town -- so much to choose from ... Thanks for the inspiration!

Yay!!! So glad you’re choosing Mexico City! One of my favorite Cities in the world! Plus there are so many wonderful places to go on weekends and day trips from there…Teotihuacan, Taxco, Puebla, Coyoacán. You’re going to be so happy!! By the way, I love the red kitchen ♥️

I like the 3rd one but the 2nd one seems a better fit. Peace & quiet means a lot!

Maddie, I watched a few of your old videos and recently recognized your smiling face flying solo. You look happy and content, so good for you! It's okay to be human and have tough days too, but it's just like you said, "needing to relearn who I am, and what I like". I wish you the best of luck in Mexico City and encourage you to get a dog when the timings right. In the meantime, pepper spray, a "blackjack" defensive tool, and maybe wearing/having a whistle is a good idea. They have door alarms and all sorts of goodies on Amazon, if you can get them delivered there. I'm old enough to be your father and would be worried for my daughter's safety, but also very proud of her bravery and fierce independence. Go get'em Maddie! Your Spanish is notably improved, well done!

Hope all is well Maddie Miss you and your vlogs from Mexico

Maddie. I hope your doing well. Can’t wait to see what your up to.

I could watch this type of video all day long! Love the apartment tours so much. More please!

One of the best vacation I’ve been on!! I can’t wait to go back!🙏

I really liked the first apartment because it was so modern! The finishes were all really nice. It is a little on the small side, but like you said, perfect for one person. Edit: Oops, forgot about the construction! Then I'd say #2 was my fave, the red kitchen was a little out there but still pretty nice and contemporary!

Hi Maddie. We are eager to see you again. We love your videos and you are awesome!🥰

Keep the videos coming ! Really enjoying them.... Not gonna lie, I've been enjoying these videos and watching your channel more than your previous channel. I didn't expect that. 😎

Hope you are doing good ! So happy to see your channel flourishing!

You can get peel and stick removable wall paper! Just pick your style and colors you can cover every bit of the red kitchen. Also it would help protect the surface from scratches. And the wall paper is easy to wipe down and replace when it gets funky:) All of those spaces are really nice! Thank you for bringing us along!🙏

Lots of great options Maddie! Loved the video as always! You are so fun to watch!

If you take it have the patio barred in it has easy access from other roofs , that would give someone/access to your apartment .You will also have builders watching you during the entire build just a heads up .

I just finished watching all your videos. I’ve enjoyed the last ones the most, since I’m from GDL, lived in CDMX for 10+ years and recently moved to QRO, so I relate a lot. Each city has a special place in my heart, but CDMX is pretty special, as you can already tell. Hope you have a great transition, and as someone already said, have a earthquake protocol ;) and enjoy.

The outside of the 2nd apartment seems more your style (from MY point of view) so if I had to choose one for you I would choose #2. 🙂

Hi, Maddie- We miss you- Hope all is well!

Where are your weekly videos, I miss them. Have you given up on Utube?

The central area is the air and light shaft. Before a/c was common, these allowed windows to be open for cross ventilation.

Madi are you ok ? You haven't posted in a bit ... blessing from Texas

I like them all. The last one was unique. Apartment hunting is fun. What an exciting time for you Maddie! 💕

Maddie I Love apt #3. It’s spacious and cozy. I love the chandeliers and balcony. My second would be #1

The second place has a hip and fun vibe plus it’s all inclusive. You’d likely get used to the red quite quickly. Happy to see you are following your gut and choosing Mexico City. Loads of potential for travel and no need for a car. Best of luck!

I don’t wanna bash anyone but all the foreigners in Mexico are helping raise the rent for the average Mexican citizen. Don’t be like every foreigner coming to Mexico, pay in pesos no US dollars unless it’s card. Just saying

I live in Narvarte Poniente, been living here for 9 years now and I absolutely love it, but I think you can find something better here than the one you show in the video. As someone mentioned already, don't settle too soon. Though I like the third one (not the building, honestly, but the apartment looks kinda cute and the rent amount sounds ok. Also in Narvarte Poniente you have everything at walk distance, and I mean it when I say everything, but yeah I wouldn't rent right on Xola street

The artist's home was by far the best house Maddy. Good luck.

Good Luck Maddie!! My first heart thoughts are, I'm soooo excited for you, and the new lift in your voice. You've come so far and have such a beautiful journey ahead of you. Maybe, and hopefully your realtor can fine tune some showings for you....is, you're looking at a year for this next stop, a year full of possibilities in every way. Maybe think about what makes you happiest, having a park close by for your nature fixes, cool places, transportation, the part of your apartment where you'll be editing videos and such, what kind of vibes you want to be surrounded with (positive ones :) !!) Like, the more you zoom in on that feel for yourself, the more "just right" it will be for you, and I have a feeling the price will match for you, because you'll be putting it out there to the whole universe :) I hope whatever you choose, it's just perfect for your next adventure...for you....trust yourself

The 2nd one seems very nice Maddie. When you get a chance visit Coyoacan, lots of things to see and eat! I grew up there, you're going to love it.

I like the second one

Hi, I hope all is well, I hope to see you again very soon! I really enjoy your videos, even though I never plan on going to Mexico, I get to see it through your eyes.

Can't wait to see your choice! I am jelly! I know you are loving all that Tangerine in your B&B, Miss Maddie!!!!!

Maddie, I really love your channel. You are doing so amazing! You're engaging, fun, and charismatic. And it really shows in how you edit your videos. Do you think you could do more house-hunting videos? I really enjoyed this one.

Im team Maddie!! Love all your content! Best wishes always!! 💕

The advantage of the bathroom off the kitchen is that you can have a couch surfing guest who won't feel uncomfortable walking into your bedroom to use the bathroom. Also, you can be working in the kitchen and have a convenient bathroom not too far from an ongoing cooking project. If you have a small party with friends, again it's easy access. And if you are all alone in the unit, it's not a big deal to walk through your living room to the bathroom. Also the views of the second unit are to a quiet street with trees, not buildings that are peeling and falling apart or construction projects.

I love seeing the apartments! Thank you for taking us along! Looking forward to the next video.

Maddie, finally a great informational video. Keep them coming. The drama ones tend to be useless for me. Love to see you strong and happy.

Maddie I love your content and always will. I think that now that you are going to be living in CDMX you should befriend some locals :). I think it's important for people from USA/Europe to realize that a 16000 mxn Rent is super expensive and IMPOSSIBLE to pay for many mexicans unless they get a roomie. We are having a living crisis in the city since landlords increase the value of the rent because they know a $800 dollar is confortable for many nomads. Even the "Condesa sur" area is not a real area, there is no Condesa Sur, it is a neighborhood called Tacubaya which was know for being a litttle sketchy but You know... marketing...they call it Condesa Sur now XD. The average salary un CDMX is less than 1000 and we are talking about people with degrees. There are many creators talking abt this issue. The apartaments you visited since they are furnished I would say their real value shouldn't be more than 10,000mxn. I AM so sorry if I came across as a party pooper, but I am not the only one talking about this, there are many creators here and on TikTok talking about the Rent Phenomenon and crisis in CDMX. I am not saying that You don't Rent there, by all means do like, landlords arent going to lower the price since there is a huge need of housing for sure but...yeah, just be aware that those princes are inflated and not fair at all.

Congrats on hitting 50k on your subscriber count. Break out that bubbly and celebrate! 🥂 🍾

I initially liked the first one, but the construction for the whole lease would drive you nuts!! Its a very good price for including everything for a new apartment. However, I really liked option 2 because of the space and the location. It seemed more calm and safe. Although the bathroom is disjointed from the bedroom I think it's more convenient for any guests visiting. I also like that the landlord lives below you, so its easier to handle business. The last one is way too chaotic next to that loud street and It seems a little more rough and urban. I'd say number 2 is the winner out of these.

Maddie, those apartments are overpriced. I’m a Mexico City native and rent out a 2 BR + study apartment in Roma Sur (recently remodeled) for $17,000 pesos. I would look at listings directly on a site such as inmuebles24 (many people speak English, but just make sure you see the price before they find out you’re a foreigner). Colonia Narvarte - Oriente especially - is becoming somewhat unsafe.

Where is Maddie she's not uploaded a video in 3 wks

Enjoyed this video and seeing what some lower priced apts can be found in Mexico City. It's refreshing when I get a chance to see a House/Apt hunting video that's relatable to a budget I could afford. I liked the last apt the best but the noise level would probably be a deal breaker. Hopefully you get to shop around a little more for a few more options.

My choice is # 3. It’s cute, big and it’s got character like you. If you are going to live in a city…live in the city. The noise will rock you to sleep. ❤️

Im living through ur videos. Keep em coming my G.

Thank you for building this channel on your own merits and not click baiting us with videos all about a new partner 🙄… like some other channels I know of.

Hi Maddie because I don’t really use social media I’n reaching out here on your latest video. I Just wanted to reach out… I hope that you are getting rest and that you are doing well. Take care of yourself and God bless you

Hello amazing young lady! Glad to see you in your own channel. Having lived in Mexico City for almost the first 26 years of my life I`d strongly recommend to live anywhere else (!). Especially as a single lady... even if you were in a relationship independent women who often go places by themselves may encounter uncomfortable situations in Mexico City more often than anywhere else. Anyway, you haven`t posted in 3 weeks so I`m hoping you`ve gone else where. Since your friend is coming from Veracruz, how about trying that city? Or Boca del Rio better. Anyway, I`ll keep watching your channel. All the best!

I loved Mexico city, the restaurants, cafes, parks, museums... endless wandering...but by the end of my stay I have to admit it was a bit overwhelming... I was waiting for the metro and had to wait for 4 trains as they were packed... and people were shoved against the glass! Also I was there during a water shortage and all the laundromats were closed... I ended up paying 20$ cad for a load because the price was so high... so definitely get a place with water included. All that said I did really enjoy the city...

Waiting to hear from you dear lady. I don’t care what you talk about…

El DF is definitely comparable to NYC. I first went to Mexico City when I was 6. We got the in the metro at a busy hour during a rain storm. It was more than packed . I was crying telling my mom that my feet did not touch the floor. We finally got to my aunts house and when they would say we were going somewhere I would tell my mom, A La apachurada no!!!! I named the metro apachurada. Flash forward to 2016, my goddaughter got married in DF and it was during the día de Los muertos parade. It was crazy but omg fun! Don’t miss that parade and Fridas Museum. Looking forward to your videos. Good Luck finding the perfect place!

Hi, it's been three weeks since your last video, I certainly hope you are doing well and will soon give us a new video. I wish you the best.

📢#2 for the hearing impaired!!! Also its peaceful and the tree lined street is nice!!!

Maddie out here destroying people's expectations that you can live in Mexico City for super cheap with a super high end place. if you can go above the $1000 USD/month then you can find more comfortable places.

I love going along with you on tours of apartments

How great to see you Maddie. I was wondering where you'd gone. You are such a good presenter. I subscribed!

Always liked to watch your videos since the other channel, I like to see my country thru the eyes of a person from a different country but today you blew my mind, you went to places I used to transit very frequently 'cause I used to live or work very close to the places you visited. Awesome!! Keep up rhe great work! ✌️

Hi Maddie! It's always nice to see another video from you 👏

A country where its gastronomy is such a big part of their identity, it amazes me how small and basic their kitchens are. Holiday RV's have bigger kitchens and more cabinets.

After so many years you’re starting to look and act like a true born Mexican. I wish you all the best in your new life, may you find everything your heart desires.

The longer you're gone the harder it's going to be to come back. You Can Do This! You are fabulous with more personality than most with their own channel. Everyone loves Maddie! ❤️ get back on that horse, girl! It's where you belong!

Do not give them a ridiculous security deposit. I was once asked for 6 months as a security deposit. No way. They just wanted an interest-free loan.

Thank you for the tour Maddie . I have a realistic view of pricing if I even consider living there.

I'm from México City but I have lived in different cities like Querétaro, SLP, Monterrey, etc. You can always negotiate about cosigner, I don't like that so I always search for other options like higher down-payment that is going to come back at the end of the contract, keep in mind that owner just want a warranty and if you are sure that you are going to pay on time you don't need to worry about pay more at the beginning. Belive me I never needed a co-signer. It is true about the one year contract but again, you can always negotiate with the owner, put a special clause, the realter should help you on that, it is tottally legal if both parties agree. My best advice always always sign the contract with the owner, only the owner, you can make sure of that through out the documents, they must show you all the documentation. My favourite one is the first one, it seems super clean. The only thing I did see in any is washer, so that would be a plus is any other place.
