With changing family dynamics across India, senior citizens now want to retire on their terms and live their post-retirement life at a place of their choice. The decision to choose a locality for post-retirement home is governed by concerns such as connectivity, easy accessibility, crime rates in the area, adequate healthcare facilities, weather, and the standard of living. Of course, Bangalore has always been known for its excellent climate. That’s no secret. But if you are looking to find just the perfect spot in Bangalore, we think we can help:
Hebbal
Having spent their entire life working, most senior people prefer to reside away from the city’s frenzy. Hebbal is on the outskirts of the city yet well connected. With the area offering easy connectivity to airports, it has fast become one of Bangalore’s fastest-developing locations. You can find everything from good hospitals to shopping complexes in Hebbal.
Banashankari
If you are the religious kind, you will love Banashankari for its beautiful and historic temples. Apart from the fact that it is one of the largest residential localities of the city, what makes Banashankari worth living in is its fantastic connectivity to other places in Bangalore. Whether you love to shop for your cute grandkids or want to go for morning yoga, Banashankari is the perfect place for senior citizens to live in.
Malleswaram
Senior citizens love to socialise, and Malleswaram with its hustle and bustle can promise just that. With its friendly residential community, Malleswaram has a number of informal clubs and associations that organise regular meetups and festival celebrations. The locality is blessed with rich social and cultural heritage and famous for eateries serving authentic local cuisine.
Basavanagudi
If you are craving for the charm of the old Bangalore before the IT era, you would love to stay in Basavanagudi. Home to several historical and cultural icons, Basavanagudi is one of the oldest suburbs of Bangalore. Historic libraries, shopping areas like Gandhi Bazar, and huge parks like Bugle Rock make this place a perfect old Bangalore paradise. Add to all this, the quaint Brahmin’s Café in the area that provides the ‘just perfect filter kaapi’ can make an old heart do a jiggle or two in joy.
Jayanagar
Jayanagar is the largest planned residential area of Bangalore. You will fall in love with the quiet and calm of this area that still retains the traits and charm of old Bangalore. You can find anything and everything that you wish to buy in the local markets of Jayanagar. Development has not left this area untouched and you will find a number of posh restaurants that have come up of late. But these are just jostling with the more traditional eateries that dot this area. It’s also one of the best-connected areas of Bangalore. The Metro access is just the icing on the cake.
Indira Nagar
If you are looking to live right in the middle of the city, Indira Nagar would be perfect for you. With many food outlets, entertainment options, and excellent connectivity with the rest of the city, Indira Nagar is one of the most sought after residential addresses in Bangalore. For senior citizens who are living in a joint family with their children and grandchildren, Indira Nagar is a good option.
