Condado del Obispo is the premium gated community in the immediate Antigua orbit, sited next to the historic village of San Juan del Obispo on the slopes south of Antigua centro. This is where the upper end of the Antigua market lives - large lots, substantial construction, mature trees, the kind of property a Guatemala City family might own as a weekend home.
For real estate, the prices reflect that positioning unambiguously. The table below has the live band, and it starts well above where most Antigua-area neighborhoods end: there is no entry tier here. Median lot and construction sizes are among the largest we track in Sacatepéquez, which is what separates this community from the mid-tier gated developments as much as the price does.
Reading the market
Inventory is genuinely scarce - a handful of listings at any one time, split between finished houses and land inside the community. Those land parcels are the notable part: reasonably sized lots inside an established premium community are the rarest thing in this market, and they are what a buyer who wants to build rather than buy is actually competing for.
What you are buying with a Condado del Obispo property is a combination nothing else in this market offers: a premium gated address adjacent to a historic colonial village, generous land, modern construction quality, and under ten minutes to both Antigua’s tourism infrastructure and the highway to Guatemala City. Comparable homes inside Centro Antigua carry both UNESCO restrictions and the daily friction of living inside the heritage zone - Condado del Obispo offers the price tier without the regulatory headache.
Because the sample is small, treat any single month’s median as a reading of what happens to be listed, not as the value of the community. Two listings entering or leaving move it hard.
