'Life goes on': Mexico City house featured in Roma up for sale

22 Tepeji Street stood in for Alfonso Cuaron's boyhood home, with facade and patio featured in some of the film's memorable scenes

Save for the small metal plaque affixed to its facade, 22 Tepeji Street, looks like almost any of the older houses in the unfashionable part of Mexico City's Roma neighborhood: painted stucco, a wrought-iron grille over the front windows and its flowerpots, thin metal slats arrayed geometrically over the frosted glass of the garage door.
