Bengaluru's residential market is witnessing a clear shift as premium housing demand moves beyond traditional hotspots into emerging micro-markets with stronger planning and infrastructure support. Sadaramangala and Panathur, located in East Bengaluru, are increasingly being viewed as next-generation premium residential destinations.
