Popular localities in top 15 list

The popularity of certain localities over the others show a clear trend that Amdavadis are in search of convenient homes- one that doesn’t lead them to compromise on their lifestyle and is at a comfortable distance from their workspaces. A cursory glance of listings on ecis2016.org establishes this trend.

Satellite, Vastrapur, Thaltej, Motera, New Ranip, Bopal, Gota, Chandkheda and Vastral, are among the most popular investment destinations. The broad price band ranges between Rs 2,000- 6,500 per sq ft, depending upon the exact location, brand of the developer, amenities provided to prospective home buyers and age of the building.

Despite the slump in the real estate market, residential developments have cropped up across Ahmedabad but are mostly concentrated along the western and northern parts of the city. Ashram Road, the central business district in Ahmedabad is saturated, leading to a spurt in offices and commercial space take-up in and around SG Highway. Therefore, more residential developments have sprung up here.

Bopal, Chandkheda, Thaltej

Bopal, Chandkheda, Thaltej are among the most popular localities that buyers look out for. With average capital value at Rs 3,240 per sq ft, Bopal is a buyer’s favourite.

Rental properties command anywhere between Rs 5,000 to Rs 1.60 lakh per month depending upon the amenities and location.

In a recent development, Bopal residents are in for some good time. After an 18-year old wait, Bopal will be merged with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation in January 2020. Till now, Bopal was under the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) jurisdiction. Issues such as solid waste management, drainage and sewerage will thus be addressed in a far more effective way.

Chandkheda

New Ranip, Gota and Vastral

What works for New Ranip, Gota and Vastral is the pricing. “An investment in these areas is capital erosion proof.
