The IT Migration Trend
Bengaluru’s thriving IT sector attracts many migrants. These professionals choose to live in the suburbs to avoid long commutes. As a result, there's a high demand for suburban housing.
Metro Expansion and Infrastructure Projects
Manyata Tech Park: The new metro line is making this area a hot spot for real estate. Easier travel thanks to the metro means property prices are going up. Big reasons people want to live here include the Manyata Tech Park nearby, the close airport, and the quick access to downtown.
Sarjapura: Sarjapur will be on the new metro line. This will make travel easier for people living and working there. As getting around gets simpler, the demand for homes and shops in Sarjapur is expected to increase. This could lead to higher property prices in the future.
Electronic city: The Yellow Line Namma Metro will significantly improve intracity connectivity. Flexible connectivity is expected to boost demand for both commercial and residential properties along the metro corridor. The ribbon development along this stretch will likely enhance the rental yield of surrounding regions.
Whitefield: The operational Purple Line Metro has significantly increased property values in Whitefield. Rentals have risen by 20%, and property prices by over 30%. Proximity to metro stations is a key factor influencing property choices. Whitefield’s transformation from an IT hub to a thriving residential and commercial area is ongoing.
Conclusion
Bengaluru traffic can be slow. Many tech company workers, like those in Whitefield and Electronic City, try to live nearby. A shorter travel time means they spend less time stuck in traffic.
