Sadashivanagar is so posh, you’d rarely find a house in the neighborhood that’s given out for rent. Instead, the upscale locality is the permanent residence of many of Bangalore’s richest industrialists, showbiz a-listers, and politicians. Basically, if you want to know what Sadashivanagar looks like, just imagine the kind of area – and the kind of bungalow – a Rishabh Bajaj from ‘Kasauti Zindagi’ would stay in. So there you have it.
Indira Nagar might be a little more open to all sorts of income, but it’s still one of the more posh areas in Bangalore. It’s got everything you need and wish for, from big brand outlets to pubs, restaurants, and super hip cafes. Plus, Rahul Dravid lives here too. So you can just imagine the amount of calm this place can inspire if you live there. Regardless of what you do to earn your dough.
HSR Layout is exactly how it sounds. The kind of area that’s planned well and located close to all the major business areas and corporate parks. Basically, this is where start-up founders and top management folks settle after cracking into the big millions. So no wonder why the property prices are rising in HSR Layout, year after year.
Koramangala can be expensive, yes. But it’s also where you can get out a lot of value for money. And that alone makes it perhaps the best place to live in Bangalore.
