Talk of Real Estate in Electronic City and people immediately say the region is the world’s IT outsourcing hub. This township in the Anekal taluk of Indian state of Karnataka is one of the largest IT parks of the country. It is spread over 332 acres of land and is divided into 3 phases.

The maintenance and upkeep of Electronics City is done by Electronics City Industrial Township Authority (ELCITA).

Amenities in Electronic City

Various 3-star, 4-star and 5-star hotels are also present at Electronics City. Crowne Plaza is a 5-start hotel that towers high towards the sky in Velankani area.

An elevated highway, called Electronics City flyover, connects the place to Silk Board without any worry of traffic. In proximity, we have companies like Bosch, Sasken and HGS and automobile showrooms of Volvo, Jaguar, Porshe and Volkswagen to name a few. Hospitals like Narayana Hrudalaya & Dr. Lal Path Labs and hotels like Ibis are quite close too.

The rent usually ranges from 18K/month to 35K/month for 2BHK flats. The rate may be 5K-8K higher for 3BHK flats. Bachelors may suffer a little problem while searching for flats, as most house-owners prefer families as tenants. However, with a little extra effort, bachelors can also get ideal homes to stay in inside the apartments, although a broker may be generally required to get in touch with house-owners.

Conclusion

Electronics City is no more only the world’s major IT hub, but is also fast developing as one of the most sought-after residential place by professionals and entrepreneurs, as all kinds of amenities exist within 5kms radius. Only thing that concerns most Bangalore residents is the distance of this place for city center and several missing pieces of social infrastructure or rather density of them. We feel over next few years this will not be a limitation for Electronic City.
