About Mexico City Insider

Updated 24 AUG 23

The vision for Mexico City Insider is simple: to be a trusted, go-to resource for uniquely local opportunities – things that can only be found and, more importantly, only relevant if you’re a part of the CDMX community.

The site isn’t designed for any one particular audience. The people who use this site come from all walks: chilangos, nomads, ex-pats, residents, citizens, tourists, natives. The common thread is an interest in being and becoming a deeper part of this multi-layered and multi-faceted city to participate in events, work & volunteer opportunities, find hidden places to stay, use recommended services and buy or sell items locally.

At this time, the site offers the opportunity for you to find & share: *

  • Events: from festivals to fitness to fundraisers, we have happenings for every passion
  • Jobs: remote work, local opportunities and everything in-between
  • Real estate: rooms, apartments and houses for rent and for sale
  • Classifieds: a community space for find or sell that special item or two

Creating your own listing here is simple: 

  1. Click on the “Add a listing” button at the top of the page

  3. Choose your preferred package option (Basic, Standard or Premium)
  4. Enter the information for your listing and upload images, etc.
