2. Rooftop: conversations that start with the view of the city
Rooftops aren't just for pretty pictures. They're vibrant places. People come up to read, exercise, have a drink at sunset, or just unwind for a while. And that's where those unexpected conversations happen. What seems like a shared space becomes an extension of your home... but with breathtaking views of Condesa, Roma, or Juárez.
3. Neighbors who share your lifestyle

It's easier to connect with someone who also values independence, has a similar routine, or simply wants to build a community without forcing anything.
