GUNJUR: EAST BANGALORE'S RISING ADDRESS
Gunjur is a rapidly urbanising locality in East Bangalore, carrying pincode 560087, and positioned between the Whitefield IT belt and the Sarjapur Road employment corridor. Gunjur is a rapidly urbanising locality situated in the eastern quadrant of Bangalore, positioned strategically between two of the city's most significant real estate and employment corridors: Whitefield to the north-east and Sarjapur Road to the south. The area still retains pockets of green cover and open land, a rarity for a Bangalore micro-market this close to the tech corridor.
The locality has moved decisively from a village-like fringe to a mid-to-premium residential hub. Gunjur is a fast-expanding area in Bangalore's eastern outskirts, located on the Outer Ring Road, which connects it to the rest of the city, and is well-known for its lush greenery, tranquil environment, and proximity to IT centres like Whitefield and Sarjapur. This has driven consistent capital appreciation over the last decade.
On pricing, Gunjur remains comparatively attractive next to its established neighbours. At current prices, Gunjur still offers a 25–35% discount to comparable inventory in Whitefield or Bellandur, making it one of the highest-value propositions in south-east Bangalore. Gunjur has delivered one of the strongest appreciation stories in Bangalore — property prices have risen 68.5% over 5 years and 231.8% over 10 years.
Demand here is largely driven by end-users working across the ORR-Whitefield-Sarjapur triangle. Rental demand in Gunjur is driven by IT and GCC professionals aged 25–40, employed in Whitefield, Bellandur, or along the ORR, who prioritise commute efficiency, gated community security, and quality amenities. Prestige's large-format townships in this belt, including the ready Lakeside Habitat and newer launches like Lavender Fields and Evergreen, have anchored this shift toward branded, amenity-rich living.
