About Villas Universidad & Sendero de Luna

Villas Universidad & Sendero de Luna (the MLS calls the pocket Progresso/Universidad) is the suburban, predominantly Mexican middle-class pocket east of the city centre around the UNIVA private university. Buyers name the subdivisions: Villas Universidad, the master fraccionamiento with the campus inside it; Sendero de Luna and the neighbouring cotos, Senda Magnolia, Cedro, Los Fresnos, Olivo, that make up the Vivento development beside the campus, where most of the current new construction is; Paseos de la Universidad behind the campus off Avenida México; and El Magisterio, the small older colonia between Villas del Real and Copa del Rey. Density is moderate: one- and two-storey houses inside gated cotos with a casa club, a few small condo buildings, families, university staff, retirees and student renters.

Practical points. The airport is five to eight kilometres, ten to twenty minutes, and the Malecón three to four kilometres south down Avenida México, the commercial spine with Walmart, Aurrera, Soriana and the schools. No beach in the area; the Marina and Hotel Zone strip is about seven minutes by car. Inside each coto it is walkable; between cotos and to Avenida México you need the bus or a car. CMQ Premiere is about ten minutes. Flooding is documented in Villas Universidad and along the Mojoneras runoff channel in heavy rain, with backflow from the El Salado estuary at high tide, so check the street and the elevation. Paseos de la Universidad lots may still be waiting for SEAPAL water incorporation and El Magisterio lots are sometimes advertised on ejido paper; both are notary questions before any deposit.
