Living in Villa Olímpica
The Olympic Village (Tlalpan, 14020) is an iconic 16-hectare residential complex with approximately 2,900 residents in 29 towers (density approximately 1,800 inhabitants/km²), an average age of approximately 35 years, and was built in 1968 for the Olympic Games next to the Route of Friendship and the Cuicuilco pyramid. Living here means enjoying an active sports environment with a swimming pool, tartan track, outdoor gym, soccer/baseball fields, and a historic movie theater, ideal for young families and athletes (300 children under 14 years old) who walk to Insurgentes Sur/Periférico. The local economy is based on internal services (sports center, shops, Cristo Rey parish) with historical added value due to its Olympic legacy and proximity to University City.
The daily routine includes morning workouts at Olympic facilities, visits to the auditorium/international club, and quick access to the Universidad Metro station. Tlalpan offers robust security, moderate pollution mitigated by green spaces and archaeological sites, and education and healthcare via local schools, clinics, and nearby hospitals. It's perfect if you're looking for an active lifestyle with Olympic history near the vibrant south of Mexico City.
