The growth of these areas is driven by strategic factors that make them highly attractive to both homebuyers and investors.
Rajarhat has been witnessing rapid development over the years.
Real estate experts believe that Rajarhat’s rise as Kolkata’s premier residential hub is not accidental but a result of its strategic location, affordable housing options, and significant investment potential.
This has solidified its position as the top choice for home buyers and investors.
One of the key factors driving Rajarhat’s popularity is the presence of IT hubs.
The Infosys Development Centre in New Town, with the potential to employ 4,000 IT professionals, has attracted many professionals and their families to the area.
This influx has turned Rajarhat into a hotspot for rental properties, offering attractive rental returns for investors.
Additionally, the area’s rapid development, including wide roads, planned layouts, and ample green spaces, makes it a more appealing option compared to the congested areas of Kolkata.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Kolkata recorded nearly 4,050 residential unit launches, with Rajarhat accounting for 33% of these launches.
This trend is expected to continue and even intensify in 2025, making Rajarhat a highly sought-after location for long-term investment.
Joka, on the other hand, is also experiencing rapid development and is expected to see a surge in real estate investments in 2025.
The introduction of Metro connectivity has been a significant catalyst, making the area more accessible and attractive for both residential and commercial purposes.
According to recent real estate reports, Joka has seen a sharp rise in residential property prices since 2019.
Prices have increased by 51%, from Rs 3,415 per sq ft in 2019 to Rs 5,150 per sq ft in 2024.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Joka contributed significantly to the launch of residential units, a trend that is expected to continue and even grow in 2025.
Real estate experts are confident that both Rajarhat and Joka will continue to attract a steady stream of homebuyers and investors in the coming years, driven by their strategic advantages and ongoing development projects.
