Properties in Cunningham Road

Few buyers end up on Cunningham Road by accident. It is for people who want a central Bangalore address and are prepared to pay for how rarely one comes up. The road links the old Cantonment with the city centre, and it is lined with bungalow compounds, consulates and businesses that have traded here for decades. We list it in the Central zone. Anyone searching for flats in Cunningham Road should expect a very short list and prices that match the address.

Open land here is effectively gone. New homes appear only when an old bungalow plot is rebuilt, and that scarcity sets the price. The two projects we list are both from Prestige Group and both completed. Prestige Edwardian, on about one acre and finished in August 2016, offers 4 BHK apartments from about Rs. 10.55 Crore. Prestige Kenilworth, on about 0.8 acres and handed over from June 2021, has 3 BHK homes from about Rs. 9.25 Crore. These are low-density buildings with few neighbours per floor, which is part of what you pay for.

Living here puts you close to the city's older business and shopping districts. Vasanth Nagar, Shivaji Nagar and the Cantonment are close by, and Kasturba Road and Richmond Road are within easy reach. Central traffic can still be slow at peak times, so check the route to your office, and to schools you have in mind, before you settle on a building.

At this price, due diligence has to be thorough. Trace the title of the original bungalow plot and confirm how the land was assembled for redevelopment. Check the sanctioned plan against what was built, confirm the occupancy certificate, and ask for the full maintenance budget, since small buildings split fixed costs across fewer owners. Resale buyers should ask how long similar flats took to sell, because the pool of buyers at this level is narrow.

For comparison, look at Vasanth Nagar, Ulsoor, Richmond Road and Frazer Town, which offer central addresses at a range of prices.
