Mysuru emerges as a top pick for Bengaluru’s disillusioned tech crowd

With soaring property prices and traffic woes driving Bengaluru residents to reconsider city life, Mysuru is emerging as the next big destination for remote workers and investors.

As housing prices and rents in Bengaluru’s prime areas continue to climb, a wave of tech professionals is turning its attention to Mysuru, drawn by its calmer pace of life, cleaner air, and comparatively affordable real estate.

Once known as a quiet retirement city or Pensioner’s Paradise, Mysuru has been steadily transforming into a residential hotspot for remote and hybrid workers. Improved infrastructure, expanding civic amenities, and better connectivity, especially via the Bengaluru–Mysuru expressway are making the shift feasible for many professionals who now only need to visit their offices a few times a month.

Core neighbourhoods such as Saraswatipuram, Jayalakshmipuram, and Hebbal have seen heightened interest from buyers seeking both ready-to-move-in homes and MUDA-approved plots. Residential prices in these localities range widely, from Rs 4,500 to Rs 7,000 per sq ft in Hebbal to ticket sizes of Rs 1–1.5 crore for premium properties in prime zones. Meanwhile, rental demand remains strong, with 2BHK apartments fetching anywhere from Rs 15,000 to Rs 45,000 per month depending on location and amenities.

Southern and peripheral parts of the city, including Bogadi, Nanjangud, and the developing industrial belt around northern Hebbal, are attracting buyers looking for larger living spaces at more competitive rates. Apartments here can be found for Rs 3,450–Rs 5,400 per sq ft, offering greater value for families and long-term investors.

Plotted developments are also gaining traction, with emerging areas like Vijayanagar Stage 2 and Stage 3 catching the eye of both end-users and those betting on future appreciation. Experts note that land parcels along the Ring Road and in well-connected outskirts are seeing steady demand, with annual price growth in some zones reaching 15–20%.

The city’s potential has not gone unnoticed by major developers. Bengaluru-based Brigade Group recently entered a joint venture to develop over 10 acres in Mysuru, while other real estate players are lining up new projects. This surge in developer interest coincides with infrastructure advancements, including the expressway and a proposed Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) that could cut travel time to Bengaluru to just over an hour.
