Living in Centro de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos No. 6 "Miguel Othón de Mendizábal"
Azcapotzalco Centro is the historic heart of the borough in northwest Mexico City, the former pre-Hispanic capital of the Acolhua people ("place of the anthill"). Its irregular colonial layout has been preserved, bordered by Aquiles Serdán, 22 de Febrero, and Azcapotzalco avenues. It is famous for its Cathedral of the Holy Apostles Philip and James (1565, Baroque style), convent atrium, House of Culture with murals by Juan O'Gorman, and Miguel Hidalgo Garden with a bandstand for neighborhood gatherings. Here, families and businesses coexist on streets lined with sturdy, single-story houses, decorative friezes, Venetian mosaics in pastel shades, and an atmosphere that blends heritage with bustling markets like the Azcapotzalco Market. The area enjoys a temperate climate, reliable healthcare through the local IMSS (Mexican Social Security Institute), and lush greenery in its tree-lined plazas.
Living in Azcapotzalco Centro CDMX offers a strong historical connection with Metro Camarones connectivity, excellent cultural and educational services (Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Library), traditional shops, and added value due to its status as a historic center protected by INAH, ideal for those seeking colonial authenticity, low internal traffic, and daily dynamism in a pre-Hispanic enclave that resists modern urbanization.
