VIP Road is a good location for investing in both residential and commercial real estate. You have not mentioned your preferred choice but assuming you are seeking residential apartments, there are a good number of projects from various domestic and pan India builders.
Zirakpur has its geographical advantages but the civic infrastructure is lagging compared to the other regions of Chandigarh and Mohali. There is however a good upside if you can hold the investment for a long term between seven to ten year period. I expect an appreciation of 10-15% in the long term in VIP Road area.
VIP Road is located in Zirakpur part of the satellite towns of Chandigarh tricity. The intrinsic location advantage of located on the Chandigarh-Delhi national highway and connecting Mohali, Panchkula and Chandigarh makes it a good investment destination.
VIP road has a large number of shopping Malls and multiplexes active in the region making the area a hub for commercial retail space. For residential projects you can check out Stellar Ojas Grand, Mona Greens and Maya Garden Apartment Township.
The average price for residential apartments in VIP Road area is between Rs 2700 to Rs 2800 per square feet while average rentals per month for a 2 BHK apartment ranges from Rs 8000 to Rs 10,000.
