In the last few years, the residential scene in Kolkata has seen a major boost like never before. The city as a whole has seen major chunks of development, the residential scenario has particularly improved. Like every other metro city whose South is touted as the poshest area, Kolkata is no different. New Garia, an area in South Kolkata has always been on the more developed side than the rest of the city. But in the recent years, it has flourished by leaps and bounds and has become a hotspot for home buyers who are looking for the best experience of city life. Let’s see what makes New Garia in such demand.
Both Garia and New Garia have seen tremendous growth in the last couple of years. New Garia has been constantly developing in every aspect that one can think of. It was already well connected to the rest of the city by every mode of transport. A few years back New Garia got its own metro station as well and the area has been developing ever since. In fact, residential flats at Orchard Residency are just a few hundred meters away from the Kavi Subhash Metro Station, being a relief to the dwellers in and around the area.
New Garia’s high infrastructure and well connectivity to the major business districts of the city is one of the key factors why more and more people are looking to buy a house here. This area has now caught the attention of real estate giants too. New Garia is quite close to EM Bypass, which connects the city to all major business areas. The extended metro project from New Garia to the rest of the city is another reason why people are so interested in this location.
Not just residential apartments, New Garia has many standalone buildings and bungalows too, making it one of the most sought-after locations in Kolkata. Out of the many projects that have sprung up in the last few years, the Orchard Group has been particularly catching a lot of attention.
All these factors are making realtors and builders quite keen on investing in New Garia. They are betting big money on the huge development that New Garia is going to witness in the coming few years. At this moment, there are close to a hundred ongoing building projects in New Garia, all at different stages. In the near future, there are going to be plenty more projects.
New Garia is also in close proximity and very well connected to two other major regions of South Kolkata, Behala and Tollygunge. These two suburbs in Kolkata are two of the oldest residential areas in this city. But that does not mean they lag behind in any way. But among all other regions, New Garia, which is an extension of Garia, is the most sought after residential locality in the city. The average value of apartments in New Garia ranges from Rs. 3150 to Rs. 4030 per sq. ft. Another good thing about residential complexes in this area is that since it is currently developing, a buyer will find plenty of options in terms of prices and the size of the house when looking for a 2 BHK or 3 BHK. Sizes of 2 BHK flats vary from 600 to 1200 sq. ft, while the size of 3 BHK flats vary from 1100 to 1600 sq. ft. in New Garia. So there is something for everyone and there is a high chance that an individual buyer will be spoilt for choices when looking for a house.
We have already established that New Garia is very well connected to the major parts of the city. Let’s discuss in detail about the ease of transport methods here.
• As it is situated in the southern part of the EM Bypass, it is well connected to the EM Bypass and the areas on the other side of the Bypass, like Salt Lake. Salt Lake Sector V is the hub of industries and all the MNCs in Kolkata.
• The nearest railway station is the Garia station, which is hardly a kilometer and a half away from New Garia. It can be said that local trains provide a big support system to the transport system here.
• It is served by the NH 34.
• The backbone is, of course, the two metro stations, Garia and New Garia for better transport for the people.
All these factors make New Garia the hub of the residential complexes that it is slowly growing into. In a few years, it will undoubtedly be the most developed area of Kolkata.
