Across various cities, new residential locations are being developed to accommodate the continuous influx of people. Irrespective of the metropolitan city, the major reason for thriving residential markets is the proximity to prospective job hubs (business parks, IT hubs, etc.), developed infrastructure and presence or the prospect of airports. Four such important localities in Gurgaon, Bangalore, Mumbai and Navi Mumbai are discussed below.

Dwarka Expressway, Gurgaon

Various sectors of Gurgaon, on either side of the Dwarka Expressway Road, are part of this micro-market. Sectors from 99-113 are in various developmental stages with many multi-story apartments being constructed by major real estate players. Excellent connectivity to Gurgaon is a major attraction as Gurgaon is a major employment hub with Unitech Infospace, Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, and numerous offices along NH-48. IGI Airport is merely 25 km from here, making it easy for people to reach their destination. Presence of malls like Cyber Hub, Ambience Mall, City Centre Mall, MGF Metropolitan Mall, etc. is also a huge draw.

Since Dwarka Expressway is still under construction, the development in the area is somewhat delayed. However, once it gets operational, the connectivity between Gurgaon and Delhi will improve considerably. Additionally, the 3.2 km long Central Peripheral Road would work as a direct link between Dwarka expressway at Harsaru and Southern Peripheral Road at Narsinghpur.

Electronic City, Bangalore

Electronic City caters to a large workforce of major IT parks, tech majors, industries, and has many residential complexes and corporate campuses. With offices of Biocon, Siemens, HP, and Wipro, the locality boasts of several high-rise apartments as well as villa projects like Ajmera Infinity, Prestige Sunrise Park, and GM Infinite E City Town. With excellent connectivity to various parts of the city through Electronic City Flyover, Hosur Road, and NICE Ring Road you can reach anywhere. Moreover, the proposed and under-construction Line 3 (RV Road-Bommasandra) of Namma Metro Phase 2 will bring metro connectivity here by 2023.

The self-sustaining city has all necessary civic amenities including educational institutions, healthcare facilities, banks, restaurants, and retail shops. Some prominent ones include DPS Electronic City, Sorsfort International School, Springleaf Hospital, and Vimalalaya Hospital. Additionally, Gopalan Innovation Mall in JP Nagar and Forum Mall in Koramangala, which are the most popular entertainment hubs are located merely 35 min. from here.
