Living in El Rosario
El Rosario, Azcapotzalco, is the largest and most iconic housing complex in Mexico and Latin America, covering 350 hectares in the northeast of the Azcapotzalco borough. Built starting in 1972 by INFONAVIT on the site of the former Hacienda El Rosario (17th century, formerly Careaga), it houses over 30,000 residents in 450 lower-middle-class buildings, including sections like Nueva El Rosario and Town Center. Here, working-class families enjoy integrated services such as the El Rosario Metro station (Line B), CCH Azcapotzalco, CETIS 33, shopping centers, green spaces, and the El Parián plaza, in an area that evolved from dairy farms belonging to the Oyamburo brothers (founders of Cervecería Modelo) to the neighboring Vallejo industrial zone.
Living in El Rosario offers planned urban self-sufficiency with local businesses, strategic access to GAM and Tlalnepantla, a thriving economy despite challenges of marginalization, making it ideal for workers seeking low costs, proximity to industry, and recent renovation programs that revitalize its original 1970s modernity.
