Q: I will be buying a retirement home for my parents soon, I like the locality Bandipalya, as it seems calm and queit. But what do you guys think? Will this place be conducive to the lifestyle of an elderly couple?
Actually residential plots are not the only option you have here. Ever considered a farmhouse? Well there are some of thsoe here too. It will be definitely a more innovative option, and you will be saved the hassle of building the house. The average rates of these are a bit high I must admit, around Rs 8600 per square foot
Since you're looking to buy a property for your parents let me tell you that you wont find much except for residential plots here for sale. So what you can do is buy a plot, and then build the ideal home for your parents. It might take some more time, but the results will be more satisfactory and suited according to your needs. The average rate of these plots in Bandipalya is Rs 12/square foot.
Also the Dalvoy lake is right here. Its actually a popular landmark in the region, and I think it definitely adds some value to the already existing charm of this place. The locality in itself has plenty of grocery stores, like Subanna stores, Ridhi Sidhi enterprises, Sri Maruti traders, Aajan & company, etc.
Yes yes, the Chamundi Hills are also very nearby, which is why this place has such amazing weather. You can hardly feel the heat that Mysore suffers through during the summer months. A cool breeze is always flowing, and Im sure your parents will be very happy in such a place.
Hospitals arent there right in the locality, although there are a handful of them around this neighbourhood. Just cross the NH212 and you will find the Heath point centre and the Panacea hospital. in fact there is the government health centre right in the Chamundi foothills region.
The good thing is also that the Ooty Road starts from here. So that is why there has been development in here since a while now. Also the Chamundi Temple is nearby in Vijaynagar, which holds a lot of attraction value for the elderly I have seen
Even the Ring Road passes by this area. And although this road wouldnt take you into the heart of the city, but you will have access to all other outskirts localities via this road. So yeah, its a good connectivity infrastructure.
The connectivity is also solid, since the NH 212 passes by the place. You know, the one thats also called the Kozhikhode- Mysore- Kollegal highway. So you can take this road straight into the heart of Mysore. Im sure you wouldnt want your parents to live too disconnected from the city.
The first thing that pops into mind about this locality that you have selected for your parents is the location. Its on the southern borders of the city, so you can forget all about the traffic, and pollution and excess noise and all that.
