He served five terms as president of Mexico: 1858-1861 as interim, 1861-1865, 1865-1867, 1867-1871 and 1871-1872.

- For low to middle class housing, you could find humble palm shacks along the coast, adobe houseson desert climates or wood cabins in more temperate climates; large prefab housing projects and single-family dwellings made of filler block are also common in major cities.
- Medium income families would afford brick houses with a small backyard and sometimes, a front garage or lawn; in towns and cities, apartment buildings and condominiums are common, but most buildings have 5 stories or less.
- Upper-class people in Mexico usually buy pretty large departments and lofts (up to 2,000 sq ft) in tall apartment buildings (up to 15 stories high), or large houses in the suburbs with garage space for 2-3 vehicles and a backyard with optional pool.
