Bengaluru is a city like no other. It has grown leaps and bounds since its creation and currently stretches to about 709 sq.km. The metropolitan area, that covers the urban as well as rural areas under the BMRDA, extends to a whopping 8,005 sq.km – second, only to the National Capital Region. The metropolitan that has seen a major influx of migrants over the last few years currently adds the population to over 1.2 crores.
The city, in the recent past, has been recognised as one of the best cities to move for career growth. According to a UK-based research platform, it is the second-best city for innovators to move to and work at.
The job opportunities coupled with the pleasant weather all-year-round, luxurious lifestyle, and amazing nightlife make it no less than a dream to live in this beautiful city.
So, if you are new or are planning to move to Bengaluru any time soon, here are 7 things you should bear in mind:
- Great Weather
The weather in the city needs no introduction and is a badge of pride every Bengalurean wears. Given its altitude of 3000 feet from sea level, the closeness to the Bay of Bengal on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other, and the vast greenery keep the city cool all year round. The city rarely gets hot and when it does, we are blessed with light and short showers that bring the temperature back to a desirable level.
- Plenty of Job Opportunities
With over 300 companies in the city, a major chunk of the Bengaluru crowd belongs to the IT sector. The IT boom has put Bengaluru on the world map – rightly earning its name as The Silicon Valley of India. The IT giants create plenty of job opportunities for freshers graduating from college every year as well as the many migrants from across the country. Several startups in the city, too, create jobs for every possible qualification and profile.
- Home to Top Educational Institutions
Bengaluru is home to prestigious institutions including but not limited to B-schools, medical colleges, engineering colleges, law colleges, design institutes, and fashion institutes. The surge in migrant students has seen rapid development in areas around educational institutes. The Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru, in fact, is located very close to HM Indigo, one of our latest apartment projects in the city centre.
- Clean & Green
Bengaluru is home to more than 200 lakes and several different species of birds, insects, and creatures of the wild. It also has several parks around the city giving it the name – the Garden City of India. The city is also one of the cleanest with residents in a locality taking extra care to keep their surroundings clean and green. So, don’t even think about disposing of something in the wrong spot!
- Street Shopping
As a newbie in the city, you would be on the lookout for some budget-friendly clothes, organisers, home decor, crockery, etc. For all your needs – be it quick tailoring requirements or a fancy outfit, head to Commercial Street. Every street shopper’s haven, there isn’t a single store in the area you would want to skip. One of our luxury home projects, HM Tropical Tree, in fact, is not very far from Commercial Street.
