913 apartment listings collected up to 2026-10-25 from EasyBroker, Inmuebles24, propiedades.com, realtor.com. Neighbourhoods with fewer than 8 listings are not shown. TuLugar figures are its apartment price medians as reported by The LatInvestor (October 2026); it samples a different set of listings, so some gap is expected.

Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal index of homes appraised for mortgages (new and resale, all price segments), as reported by IIEG.
