The neighborhood is bordered by:[1]

History
Colonia Florida was developed in the 1950s, alongside Guadalupe Inn around the core of the village of Axotla, in lands that belonged to the Hacienda de Guadalupe.[2][3]
Due to this fact, there is a particular feature in this neighborhood. Originally, Colonia Florida had cobblestoned street, nevertheless, this was substituted by irregular concrete, such as in the Historic center.
