A
s Bengaluru's property prices and rents continue to skyrocket, tech professionals are increasingly looking beyond the IT capital. Many are drawn to Mysuru, a city that offers a quieter, greener, and more affordable lifestyle. With rising costs and congestion in Bengaluru, remote-working and hybrid techies are opting for Mysuru's calm atmosphere, cleaner air, and improving infrastructure.

    Mysuru is fast emerging as a second-home hotspot for professionals, who are attracted by its tranquil lifestyle, better air quality, and growing amenities without compromising on connectivity. Srinidhi, a millennial techie from Bengaluru, recently sold his city property to shift base to Mysuru. He's scouting for an apartment or independent house in prime areas like Saraswatipuram or Jayalakshmipuram, where ticket sizes begin at ₹1-1.5 crore.

    Residential areas in Mysuru are seeing high demand, with core areas like Saraswatipuram, Jayalakshmipuram, and Hebbal being popular choices for professionals. According to Manjesh Rao, chief broker at BlueBroker.com, enquiries from Bengaluru-based professionals have picked up sharply in the past six months. Property brokers estimate that 2BHK flats in these areas are priced from ₹60 lakh upwards, with monthly rents falling between ₹30,000 and ₹45,000.

    Neighbourhoods like Kuvempu Nagar, Vijayanagar, and Jayalakshmipuram are among the most well-connected to the northern belt of the city, making them popular choices for professionals. Gokulam and Lakshmipuram offer 2BHK apartments typically priced between ₹60 lakh and ₹80 lakh, with rentals ranging from ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 per month.

    On the southern edge of Mysuru, homebuyers are increasingly drawn to Bogadi, Hebbal, and Nanjangud, which provide larger living spaces at relatively lower costs. In these locations, apartments are priced between ₹3,450 and ₹5,400 per sq ft, with monthly rent for a 2BHK starting from ₹20,000 to ₹30,000.

    Northern Mysuru, especially around Hebbal's industrial corridor, is fast emerging as a growing IT destination, driving residential demand and infrastructure development in the region. For buyers looking to invest in land, experts point to Ring Road and peripheral locations in Mysuru as promising spots.
