Lomas de Chapultepec Homes Sell Below Polanco Peaks, Keep Prime Access

Properties along streets such as Paseo de los Pinos in Lomas de Chapultepec changed hands at an average MXN 68,000 per square metre in the second quarter of 2026, a figure that sits 12 percent below equivalent stock in adjacent Polanco.

The gap has widened since early 2025 when foreign buyers and corporate relocations pushed prices in newer Santa Fe towers above MXN 85,000 per square metre. Families and investors who once defaulted to Polanco or Bosques de las Lomas are now crossing the Anillo Periférico to secure larger lots with mature trees and established security protocols. City records show building-permit applications in Lomas rose 19 percent year-on-year through June, the first sustained uptick since the 2023 rate hikes.

Direct access and daily routines

Residents reach the Auditorio Nacional in under eight minutes by car and walk to the western edge of Bosque de Chapultepec in fifteen. The area also sits two blocks from the Polanco Metrobús line at the junction of Avenida Horacio and Avenida Ejército Nacional, cutting commute times to the financial district in Santa Fe to roughly twenty-five minutes outside peak hours. Local supermarkets on Calle Sierra Gorda and the Saturday tianguis on Avenida Lomas de Chapultepec supply daily needs without crossing into Roma or Condesa.

School options anchor many purchases. The Liceo Mexicano Japonés on Calle Sierra Madre and the Colegio Ciudad de México campus on Paseo de los Pinos both report waiting lists that have lengthened since March, signalling steady family demand rather than speculative flips.

Price evidence and transaction trends

INDAABIN valuation data released last month placed the Lomas average at MXN 68,400 per square metre, compared with MXN 77,200 in Polanco and MXN 91,500 in Bosques. Notary filings for the first half of 2026 recorded 142 transactions above MXN 12 million, up from 118 in the same period last year. Average days on market fell to 47 from 61, according to the same filings, while inventory in the MXN 15-25 million band remains 8 percent higher than Polanco equivalents.

Buyers who close before the September school term typically secure financing through local banks at 9.8 percent fixed for ten years when they put down 30 percent. Those figures come from mortgage desks at BBVA and Banorte branches on Paseo de la Reforma. Agents advise checking the latest INDAABIN zone maps and confirming water and electricity connection dates before signing, as some blocks still carry 1980s infrastructure that can add MXN 400,000 in upgrades.
