The neighborhood of Juarez has recently had a reawakening and is quickly becoming one of the best places to stay in Mexico City. Previously dubbed run down and dangerous, this neighborhood is taking Mexico City by storm.

Mexico's most affluent people left the historic downtown in the 1900s to establish country homes near the Chapultepec forest, making this community once Mexico's richest.
