About Centro Historico

Puebla's Centro Historico is a UNESCO World Heritage jewel: a colonial grid of talavera-tiled facades, the twin-towered Cathedral, the Zocalo, and one of Mexico's richest culinary traditions, home of mole poblano and chiles en nogada. Restored mansions, boutique hotels and apartments fill the protected core, where new supply is capped and tourist and student demand stays high. For investors, the Centro blends heritage prestige with reliable cash flow. Restored homes and apartments trade roughly USD 130,000-450,000, while furnished short-term and student rentals deliver gross yields near 6-7%. As fully inland property, foreigners hold direct fee-simple title with no fideicomiso required, and protected-supply scarcity plus 6-8% appreciation reward long-term holders.
