I am interested in moving to Mexico City, if I can find a secluded place to rent a house with very little air pollution, traffic and hopefully a pretty dry and cool climate.
Polanco is very nice, also Colonia Roma, Condesa, Nápoles. If you have a lot of money Lomas de Chapultepec or El Pedregal, but I prefer a more traditional área like Coyoacán or San Angel.
The areas that SenorChip mentioned are very nice and filled with so many snobby White mexicans if you dont have the money dont bother stepping in they will discriminate you.
MC is okay June thru Aug during the rainy season. Couple hrs of afternoon rain will help clean the air. The grey haze over the city (seen when flying in as I recall) may have improved over the yrs. Blowing your nose will show how clean the air is

Any suggestions?
When you don't find it, are you going to look for the same thing in New York City? You are talking about one of the world's most populated city densely packed into a fairly small bowl which makes pollution and traffic almost guaranteed.
When you find the place you are looking for its going to be hours from Mexico City on top of a mountain and you'll probably complain it rains too much there...

You can go to the hills of Santa Fe (or Santa Fake, as it's known in some circles), Interlomas, or maybe a bit nortwest to Sayavedra and Zona Esmeralda. They are pretty, in higher ground with less polution, and climate is a bit cooler than Mexico City proper. Car will be an absolute necessity living there.
But completely forget about no traffic. That just doesn't exist. Even inside the burbs there is traffic.

There's a lot of places like that in NYC metro. Staten Island, Connecticut, Long Beach, City Island...list goes on.
