Q: Hi, Is it good decision to invest in Ballygunge ? How much real estate growth is expected in another 5 years? Please suggest me upcoming projects in this area.
Ballygunge is one of the best areas to live in South Kolkata. The prices are definitely on the higher side but that is a premium one pays to live close to the city center amid sophisticated neighborhood. The current prices in Ballygunge range between Rs. 9000 to Rs. 11000 per square feet for residential apartments. The average rental for a 2 BHK apartment is between Rs. 45000 to Rs 50000 per month. Real estate growth is going to be slow in South Kolkata as not many open spaces are now available for development. Being a primary location, the demand for residential apartment in Ballyguunge is always going to be higher.
Ballygunge along with Alipore and other regions in South Kolkata form the epicenter of elite residential localities in Kolkata. There cannot be one factor to undermine whether your decision to invest in Ballygunge is good or bad. The prices are high in South Kolkata compared to other parts of the city especially the eastern suburbs. Considering purely from an investment perspective the prices in south Kolkata are unlikely to rise as much as the prices in other regions. On the positive side, Ballygunge and South Kolkata is well connected to all the parts of the city including the commercial centers apart from being one of the south sought out residential locations in the city.
Yes, it is very good area for investment as South Kolkata are to rise in price. Also Ballygunge and south Kolkata is well connected to all parts of the city, even to commercial centers. So i think it would be worth if you are doing investment here.
