So you need to understand the areas wherein it is best to invest in property, especially when you may need to move cities. Bangalore is a place divided into 5 sub-cities, and you need to understand them to make informed choice in their respective areas of interest.

If you wish to buy a house in this city, similar to flats in Kochi, then you need to first know the areas suitable for it.

As compared to other areas, it is a lot less expensive to buy a home here than to stay on rental in these sub-cities.

Thus, buying a home or renting a flat depends on your requirement as well as the location. So it’s best to keep in mind these tips when you are hunting from property in the city.
