Located in the northern fringe of Kolkata, Barasat is transforming into a well-established residential area. Situated on the Jessore Road, Barasat promises good location with easy access to civic amenities.
Barasat, which was earlier less developed, is growing at a fast rate and is giving other areas such as Rajarhat and New Town, a run for their money. Experts in the industry say that Barasat is becoming a sought-after option as it is affordable as compared to other areas and is well-connected to business hubs.
The area was less crowded earlier but now it is developing by leaps and bounds. All facilities like hospitals, schools and shopping complexes are in the vicinity and the area is also affordable as compared to other areas.
Barasat is just 15 minutes away from the Netaji Subhash Chandra International Airport and the railway station, Barasat Junction, is also at a distance of about 10 minutes. It is also favourable for people as it is closer to NH-34 towards north Bengal and is also near the Salt Lake.
In multi-storey apartments along this stretch, the major features are ample parking space and lush greens. The apartments are serviced with facilities such as swimming pools, courtyards, gyms, maintenance, security, etc.
Presently, the sale values in the area are in the range of Rs 1600 and Rs 2,600 per square ft.
There are less of 1BHK apartments whereas the 2BHK configuration with an area of 450-800 sq ft is more in demand. The 3BHK apartments are constructed in 1100 sq ft area. A 2BHK unit is available at rental values of approximately Rs 18, 000 per month while for 3BHK it is about Rs 27,000.
As per the experts, the proposed metro station is expected to bump up the rental values.
Barasat is a desirable location for property buyers and approximately half the buyers are end-users. A 30 per cent return on investment, accounts for the other half of buyers being investors.
Major developers that include Fortune Group, Sanjeevani Developers, Vedic Group etc, who are coming up with residential projects in Barasat attracting end-users, especially from North Bengal itself.
