CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: As Bengaluru grapples with rising property prices, relentless traffic, and urban congestion, many Bengalureans are shifting their preference to Mysuru’s booming real estate market. Enhanced by key infrastructure developments like the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway and NICE Road, Mysuru is now offering a unique blend of affordability, accessibility, and a superior quality of life. With commute times from Mysuru to Bengaluru often shorter than navigating within Bengaluru itself, the city is fast becoming the preferred choice for IT professionals and families alike.
Bengaluru vs. Mysuru: A Tale of Two Cities
Bengaluru, often hailed as India’s Silicon Valley, has long been a magnet for IT professionals. However, the city’s rapid urbanization has brought challenges such as rising property prices, traffic congestion, and a higher cost of living. According to studies, Bengaluru loses nearly ₹19,725 crore annually due to time and resources wasted in traffic, and the average commuter loses 7.07 lakh hours of productivity annually, highlighting the city’s infrastructural strain.
In contrast, Mysuru offers a distinctly unique narrative. Recognized as Karnataka’s second-largest IT hub, Mysuru is home to industry giants like Infosys, Wipro Technologies, and Software Paradigms India. The city’s IT sector, coupled with its planned urbanization, makes it a perfect blend of growth and livability.
Connectivity: The Game Changer
One of the biggest factors redefining Mysuru’s real estate landscape is its enhanced connectivity with Bengaluru. The 119-km Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, a six-lane, access-controlled highway, has dramatically reduced travel time to just two hours. Key Bengaluru IT hubs such as Whitefield and Electronic City are now easily accessible, making Mysuru a viable residential base for professionals working in Bengaluru.
This improved connectivity, combined with Mysuru’s infrastructure, has shifted homebuyers’ focus toward the city, which offers a better balance of work and lifestyle.
Puneeth., an IT professional working in Electronic City, Bengaluru, “Living in Bengaluru had become unaffordable and exhausting due to skyrocketing rents and endless traffic jams. I recently shifted my base to Mysuru, and my commute to Electronic City is now quicker and much less stressful than when I lived within Bengaluru. The improved road connectivity makes all the difference.”
