San Felipe de Jesús is the historic colonia at the northern edge of Antigua Guatemala, anchored by the Templo de San Felipe, a church known for its image of the Señor Sepultado (a Cristo Yacente, or recumbent Christ). The present Gothic-style church dates from 1930, and the image is recorded in the village from 1670, according to the La Antigua Guatemala visitor portal (read 5 November 2026), which puts the village about 2 km north of the colonial city. The neighborhood sits between Antigua’s centro and Jocotenango, technically inside the Antigua municipio but with its own distinct village identity, narrow cobblestone streets and a steady tourist flow centered on the church plaza.
For real estate, San Felipe de Jesús is a thin market dominated by land. Most of what is listed at any moment is a lot, a terreno or a larger development parcel; completed houses appear rarely. That composition is what drives the figures on this page, and it is why the median here sits far above the neighborhood’s actual housing stock: large parcels, not large houses.
Reading the market
A few caveats worth flagging openly. With so few completed houses for sale, the price-per-m² figure for this neighborhood is calculated on a handful of properties and is not directly comparable with areas where you are pricing finished homes. And with the listing count this low, the median is a statement about which parcels happen to be listed, not about what a San Felipe house is worth.
The honest read: in the listing data of 2 November 2026, only 2 of the 10 San Felipe de Jesús listings were finished houses. If you want a finished home in San Felipe specifically, you will probably need to engage a local agent on a hunting basis rather than waiting for the right listing to appear.
For land buyers ready to build, there is real supply here - across a very wide price range, suitable for both modest single-family construction and small boutique-development projects. Check CNPAG jurisdiction before you plan anything: parts of the colonia fall under the same heritage rules as the centro.
