Why Gunjur is the Rising Star of Bengaluru's Realty Boom

Once a quiet corner of East Bengaluru, Gunjur has emerged as one of the city’s most sought-after real estate destinations. In just five years, this micro-market has transformed dramatically, catching the attention of homebuyers and investors alike.

According to a recent study by PropEquity, housing prices in Gunjur have soared by nearly 2.5 times, skyrocketing from ₹4,800 per sq. ft. in 2020 to ₹11,850 per sq. ft. in 2024. That’s a remarkable 146% increase, signaling one of the steepest residential price surges in Bengaluru.

The Demand Drivers: A Perfect Location Mix

So what’s fueling this phenomenal rise? It starts with location. Gunjur sits in close proximity to some of Bengaluru’s most dynamic tech corridors — Whitefield, Brookefield, and Bellandur. This strategic advantage, paired with access to Sarjapur Road, Outer Ring Road, and Electronic City, gives Gunjur an enviable position on the realty map.

As Umesh Gowda, founder of Sanjeevini Group, puts it, “Gunjur offers the perfect blend of urban convenience and natural tranquility. It’s near everything that matters — tech parks, schools, hospitals, and leisure zones — yet it retains a sense of calm.”

Infrastructure: Laying the Foundation for Growth

Another critical factor behind the surge is the rapid infrastructure development. The construction of the 150-ft CDP Road, which connects the area to Varthur–Sarjapur/Chennai Highway and Outer Ring Road, is a game-changer. Add to that the upcoming Peripheral Ring Road and State Highway 35, and you have a micro-market destined for long-term growth.

Gunjur’s increasing connectivity to the Kempegowda International Airport, along with the planned metro rail expansion, has only enhanced its appeal, making daily commutes smoother and faster.

A Real Estate Boom in Numbers

• 22 new residential projects launched between 2020 and 2024
• 8,558 units added in this period, up from just 3,421 units in 2015–2019
• 103% increase in absorption — 7,745 units sold in 2020–2024, compared to 3,804 units earlier
• 12 projects (3,172 units) successfully delivered in the past 5 years

Clearly, the numbers tell a story of strong and sustained demand.

Who’s Buying in Gunjur?

Buyers are especially drawn to homes in the ₹1–2 crore price range, with 3BHK apartments being the most preferred configuration. Families appreciate the easy access to educational institutions, premium hospitals like Manipal Hospital and Sri Lakshmi Multi-Speciality Hospital, and a growing list of lifestyle amenities.

The trend also reflects a growing appetite for premium living spaces that offer convenience, community, and connectivity — all in one place.

Looking Ahead: A Promising Future

With strong investor interest, continuous infrastructure expansion, and the backing of the city’s IT and office market boom, Gunjur is on a trajectory that few other localities in Bengaluru can match.

The area is not just growing — it’s thriving. And if the current trends are any indication, Gunjur is set to become the epicenter of East Bengaluru’s residential future.

For those seeking the next big opportunity in Bengaluru real estate, Gunjur may very well be it.
