If you’re planning a month or more in Mexico City, the first real question is simple: how much does a furnished monthly apartment in Mexico City actually cost in 2026? Nightly listing prices are misleading, and “cost of living” articles bury the number. Here’s the straight answer, by neighborhood and apartment type, with what actually moves the price.
If you’d rather just see live prices for real units, the monthly apartments in Mexico City hub shows current availability, and you can book direct without platform fees. Español: ¿Cuánto cuesta un departamento amueblado mensual en CDMX?
The short answer
For a full furnished apartment in a central, walkable neighborhood — Roma Norte, Condesa, or Narvarte — a realistic 2026 range is $25,000–$45,000 MXN per month (about $1,350–$2,400 USD). As a reference point, our own furnished units sit around $1,300–$1,400 MXN per night before the monthly discount, which lands a full apartment in that range for a 30-night stay.
Where you fall in that band depends on three things: neighborhood, apartment size, and how you book.
Price by neighborhood
- Narvarte — the best value among the central options. Quieter and residential, with lower furnished-rental prices for comparable space. A strong pick if budget matters and you want calm over nightlife.
- Roma Norte — mid-range and the most in-demand. You pay for walkability, café density, and a full street life on your doorstep.
- Condesa — similar to Roma Norte, sometimes a touch higher for the greener, park-adjacent streets.
- Polanco — top of the range. Upscale and orderly, with premium buildings pushing well above the bands above.

What moves the price up or down
- Apartment size. A private room is cheapest; a one-bedroom or studio is the middle; a two-bedroom for a couple, family, or two colleagues sits higher.
- Stay length. Monthly beats nightly, and often. Operators apply a monthly discount — commonly 20% or more — for stays of 28+ nights. A longer commitment usually earns a better rate.
- How you book. This is the one people miss. Booking through a platform adds a guest service fee on top of the nightly price; booking direct with the operator removes it. On a monthly stay, that difference is real money.
- What’s included. A professional furnished rate should include wifi, utilities, kitchen equipment, and linens. If a cheaper listing excludes utilities, the “saving” can disappear once the bills arrive.
Furnished monthly vs a regular lease
A furnished monthly apartment costs more per month than an unfurnished 12-month lease — but that’s not the right comparison for most stays. A regular lease in CDMX demands an aval (guarantor), a year’s commitment, furnishing the place yourself, and setting up utilities. A furnished monthly rental skips all of that: no guarantor, light paperwork, everything included, and you can book from abroad. For a stay of one to six months, it’s usually the only practical option — and for company-paid stays , it comes with a CFDI invoice a regular landlord can’t provide.
Getting an actual number for your dates
Ranges only go so far — the real price depends on your exact dates and unit. The fastest way to a firm number is to check the live calendar on the monthly apartments hub , pick a unit, and see the total with the monthly discount already applied. If a company is paying and you need CFDI invoicing , that’s built in — just confirm the fiscal details before you book.
