Polanco

Luxury apartments and residences in Polanco

Polanco is Mexico City's most sought-after address: the only neighbourhood where the flagship fashion houses of Presidente Masaryk, the Soumaya and Jumex museums, the country's finest restaurants and a residential architecture ranging from 1930s neo-colonial mansions to the capital's most discreet and finely finished contemporary towers all sit within walking distance of one another.

An established luxury market, section by section

Polanco is not one neighbourhood but five sections, each with its own character. Between Masaryk and Chapultepec Park, Sections I and II hold the largest residences and the boutique buildings of just a few units, with floor plates of 300 to 600 sq m and hotel-style services. Towards Ejército Nacional, Sections III, IV and V offer contemporary apartments, penthouses with terraces and village life around Parque Lincoln and Parque Uruguay.

Demand is constant, both domestic and international, while land supply is virtually nil: nothing is built here, only replaced. That structural scarcity explains why Polanco holds the highest values per square metre in the country and a liquidity few areas in Latin America can match.

Who buys in Polanco, and what they look for

Families who want to walk to school and to Chapultepec Park, international executives who value proximity to the Reforma and Palmas corporate districts, and investors seeking a stable asset with excellent executive-rental demand. The criteria that matter most: a building with few units, an outlook over the park or a tree-lined street, high ceilings, ample parking and impeccable management.

In Polanco, BARNES México selects only properties that meet these standards: luxury apartments in signature buildings, penthouses with private roof gardens, single-family residences with gardens and new developments off-plan by renowned architects.

Selling in Polanco with BARNES

A Polanco property deserves marketing to match: professional photography and film, bilingual presentation, exposure to the international clientele of BARNES offices in Europe and the United States and, where the owner prefers, a discreet sale reserved for qualified buyers. The first step is a confidential valuation by a consultant who knows every street in Polanco.

Why is Polanco the benchmark luxury area in Mexico City?

What is the difference between the sections of Polanco?

Sections I and II, beside Chapultepec Park and Masaryk, are the most residential and quiet, with stately houses and buildings of few units.

Our consultants guide you according to your lifestyle.

Is Polanco a good rental investment?

Executive and diplomatic rental demand is among the strongest in the city, sustained by the Reforma and Palmas corporate districts and by the area's embassies. A well-located, well-finished apartment lets quickly to high-profile tenants. BARNES supports both the purchase and the management of the letting.
