Properties in Basavanagudi

Want a home in old Bangalore, where wide avenues and heritage bungalows still set the tone? This south Bangalore neighbourhood was planned in the 1890s around the Bull Temple, and Gandhi Bazaar remains its busy market street. Families have held their plots for generations, and conservation limits what can be built. So apartments in Basavanagudi reach the market rarely, and usually as small, high-specification buildings on a single plot.

Both projects on this page are finished and firmly in the luxury bracket. Concorde Luxepolis by Concorde Group offers three-bedroom apartments, handed over from late 2023, starting at about Rs. 5 Crore. Svasa Homes by Machani Infra Development has four- and five-bedroom homes, including duplex units, completed in 2018 and starting near Rs. 6 Crore. Because both are complete, you can inspect finishes, ceiling heights and views before you commit. Expect few units per building, which means limited choice but also fewer neighbours sharing lifts and parking.

Daily life here runs on the older street grid of south Bangalore. Gandhi Bazaar and the temple precinct supply food markets, eateries and everyday shopping within the neighbourhood. Most errands can be done close to home, which is part of the appeal for families who already live in the area. For office commutes, drive your route at peak hour, since the older roads carry heavy city traffic.

The trade-offs are cost and scarcity. You pay a clear premium over newer southern suburbs, and resale choice is thin because owners rarely sell. On redevelopment plots, confirm that the building plan was approved and that the occupancy certificate covers every floor. Ask how parking is allotted, since older plots leave little room for visitor bays. Check the khata for the individual flat and the association's maintenance terms. If the building replaced an old family home, look at the title chain carefully for any inheritance claims.

For comparison, Banashankari and JP Nagar offer larger, newer projects further south at lower entry prices.
