Casa California was built in 1939 and was one of the first houses in this historic neighborhood. Its Californian colonial-style facades are unique in the area. However, the house has been transformed through restorations and renovations in its facades, interiors, and ironwork details. It is a product of the creative mind of its owners, the prestigious architect Salvador Arroyo, and the famous interior designer Mariangel Coghlan, who achieves harmonious spaces and distinct personalities in every corner, filling the place with breathtaking lighting. You will feel in a Cuernavaca-like atmosphere or in a country villa even though you are immersed in the city.
In fact, the neighborhood is embedded in a cluster of green areas, recreational grounds, and educational centers such as the Masayoshi Ohira Park, the Churubusco Studios, the
National Center for the Arts, the new Cineteca de las Artes, and the Club Campestre of Mexico City, the oldest and most emblematic social club in the country which houses an amazing 18-hole golf course. You will also find the area has art schools, additional cinemas, restaurants, cafeterias, sports venues, art galleries, museums, concert, dance, and theater venues, as well as constant open-air musical and cultural festivals. And all this is just a 5-10 minute walking distance from Casa California!
As if that were not enough, you will be immediately at Circuito Interior and Calzada de Tlalpan, when leaving this semi-gated community which has 24/7 security and surveillance booths. Furthermore: you have the city metro a few steps away and the bus station close by. And the best part, the tourist neighborhood of Coyoacán is a 20-minute walk away, and the airport is just 25 minutes by car.
It is worth mentioning that Casa California, and the neighborhood, have been spotlighted in tv/magazine advertisements and great films from the national cinema’s current and golden age. Great movie stars have lived and walked here thanks to its solitary, calm, and silent streets. You can breathe in a fragment of the country's history through its tree-lined paths.
There are hidden oases in this city waiting to be discovered, and Casa California is one of those unprecedented jewels trapped and renewed in time. Here you have an incomparable investment within the ever-changing metropolis.
A more strategic, central, and peaceful place in the south of the city: impossible.
The music that you have just heard is a gift composed and performed by the owners of the house.
