Ghuma and Bopal, two satellite townships, are new realty hotspots
With the growing urban population, the city limits expand. This can now be witnessed in the industrial hub of Gujarat, Ahmedabad. The city, which offers ample job and business opportunity, a large rural population is moving to the city, calling for expanding city limits to suburbs. This leads to the emergence of new real estate hotspots. Ghuma and Bopal, two satellite townships, are the most sought after real estate destinations in the emerging suburbs of Ahmedabad.

CONVENIENCE OF TRANSPORTATION

These areas, which were earlier labelled as ‘outskirts’, are no more referred so because they have become sustainable over the years. Travelling within these areas is easy with developed road, while ease of transportation availability including low-floor air-conditioned buses as a part of Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) also make it convenient to travel to and from the city. These areas are close to the new Sardar Patel Ring Road, which provides smooth transportation.

FAST-DEVELOPING CIVIC & SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The infrastructure in these two townships is fast catching up to the real estate demand and development. Roads are being laid in some of the extension areas of Bopal. Until a few months back, drinking water and drainage systems were lacking here but, the situation is fast changing as the Urban Development Authority is quickly connecting areas in Bopal and Ghuma to the drainage line. A number of areas have already been connected and a few others will be done soon, increasing the value of property in Bopal and Ghuma. This, however, does not include the `high-living’ luxury homes that are coming up in these areas.
