Krishnarajpura, popularly known as KR Puram, has reported an impressive 32 percent increase in property values in the last couple of years. KR Puram, one of the suburbs located in the eastern part of Bangalore, is priced at anywhere between Rs 2700–4500 per sq. ft. on normal conditions. The locality’s induction into the BBMP is one of the key reasons being attributed to its impressive rise in real estate value.
One of the positive trends that the area has witnessed is in terms of better infrastructure. From a locality that comprised broken paths, bumpy roads, debris and even ruins, it is being transformed well. Further, the area that previously consisted of kirana stores has witnessed the development of several up-market locales and fine dining eateries. All these factors have helped attract more upscale buyers and those who had invested in property prior to 2011 have profited immensely.
The area has one of the largest numbers of educational institutions in Bangalore. International schools, ICSE schools, Engineering colleges, the internationally acclaimed Garden City College, the premier Cambridge institute of technology, engineering college, and many upcoming post graduate colleges are present in the vicinity. In the last two years, several leading developers have launched projects in the area. These include the Prestige Group, DS-Max, GM Infinite, Radiant Group and Elite Developers. It is evident that Sri. Basavaraj (Byrathi) as the elected representative of this constituency had strived hard to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of the area.
