The housing market in Bengaluru is booming but highly stratified. The influx of tech professionals has driven intense demand for modern apartments, gated communities, and luxury villas, particularly in the eastern and southern corridors.
Neighborhoods like Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, and Electronic City are characterized by high-rise condominiums catering to the IT workforce. In older, more established neighborhoods like Indiranagar, Jayanagar, and Koramangala, housing consists of independent bungalows and upscale low-rise apartments. Rents vary dramatically; a standard 2BHK (two-bedroom) apartment can range from ₹15,000 in older or peripheral areas to well over ₹60,000 in premium neighborhoods. Affordable housing for lower-income groups and migrant laborers remains a significant challenge, often resulting in the expansion of informal settlements.
