New towers,
residential calm next to Nuevo Polanco.

Anáhuac I Sección is the quiet side of Nuevo Polanco: recent residential developments like BeGrand and Hares, tree-lined streets, and an unpretentious neighborhood life — steps from Masaryk, Antara, and the Nuevo Polanco museums.

"If you're staying more than a few days, this is the one worth a full grocery run."
Category 06

Culture, steps away.
