Bangalore today is home for people from across the nation and also expatriates who fall in love with its pleasant weather and cosmopolitan culture. Even though the crazy traffic situation during peak hours and language issues can be intimidating, the wide choice of residential options available in almost every budget makes all these challenges manageable.
Here are some of the most searched residential areas in Bangalore based on data available with RoofandFloor.
Sarjapur and surrounding areas
It does not come as a surprise that Sarajapur and its surrounding areas that were once regarded as forest region are now the city’s most sought after residential locations.
Would it surprise you to know that Sarjapur Road and nearby areas were searched more than 16,500 times within past month in real estate websites?
This region is one of the most searched areas largely due to its proximity to IT parks and concentration of large housing projects by reputed builders.
Whitefield – The IT hub
What is now an upscale residential neighbourhood was once an area frequented by retired army officials. The growth of IT services firms and excellent connectivity to the rest of the city have made Whitefield the most sought after residential destination with more than 15,584 searches in a month.
The well laid out roads connecting it to Marathahalli and Mahadevpura followed by the establishment of new shopping malls has led to demand for property in the locality.
Electronic City – Early days of IT growth
This locality was the first to show how the growth of the IT sector in the city would transform the landscape and infrastructure.
Now regarded as the most prominent residential location of South Bangalore with multi-storied apartments soaring into the skyline Electronic City has become the third most sought after residential area with more than 15,441 searches every month.
KR Puram – The busy hub
What was earlier known simply as a railway station on the way to Bangalore’s main railway station has now become a busy hub. Its easy access to major IT areas has made KR Puram or Krishnarajapuram, the fourth most sought out destination for homebuyers with 11,163 searches in the last one month.
Yelahanka – The emerging hotspot
For old residents of Bangalore, Yelahanka was the remote air-force station that aviation enthusiasts would travel to every year for the air-show. Now, it is the city’s fastest growing residential area as the land cost here is still affordable with a good chance of appreciation.
This is why Yelahanka is the fifth most searched destination on with nearly 9,604 searches in August 2017 alone.
