NYC has long been a magnet for people both in and outside the US. But with rising prices & ongoing housing & infrastructure crises, maybe it’s time to consider an alternative. Something just as lively and diverse, but more affordable, cleaner, & safer. If you’re looking for a dream destination, Mexico City could be one of the top choices for the coming year & beyond. Here’s why:

🏠 Rent first. In NYC, a one-bedroom apartment averages a jaw-dropping $3700/month. In Mexico City? Just $800/month. That $2900 difference could be the difference between constant budgeting and actually enjoying your life.

🍺 Social life? A pint of beer in NYC is a pricey $9. In Mexico City, it’s a refreshing $2.50. That’s a lot more “just one more” moments without worrying about your bank account.

🚇 Getting around. NYC’s subway pass will cost you $133/month. In Mexico City, it’s just $17/month.

🌳 Green spaces. You might have heard about Central Park — an NYC icon. But Mexico City’s Chapultepec Park is twice its size. Both give you a break from the urban buzz, but in Chapultepec, you get even more room to breathe.

💼 Tech and startups. NYC is known for its thriving tech scene, but Mexico City is a rising star in Latin America, ranking first in Mexico and 53rd globally for startups. The city’s ecosystem is booming, especially in fintech, e-commerce, and logistics. Government support, like grants from the National Institute of Entrepreneurs (INADEM), fuels this growth. Success stories like Kavak, a used car marketplace and Mexico’s first unicorn, show just how far the city has come.

In NYC, it’s all about the hustle — long hours, intense competition, and a culture that never stops. Mexico City is just as vibrant and dynamic, but with more room for social life, community, and balance.
