Post-Pandemic Home Preferences In Bangalore: 2025 Trends
The pandemic changed how people think about homes—especially in Bangalore. Today, buyers are not just looking for a place to live, but for a space that fits their work, health, family time, and daily routines. Comfort, wellness, and smart planning are more important than ever.
This article explores what Bangalore's homebuyers really want in 2024–2025 and how new projects like Birla Evara in Kodathi Village are meeting these new needs.
Before COVID, most people saw home as a place to sleep and unwind after work. But now, homes must do much more. They need to:
- Be a quiet place to work or study
- Support health and well-being
- Adjust to daily changes—like kids learning at home, or parents working remotely
In short, people want homes that feel like a safe, flexible sanctuary.
Space is no longer a luxury—it's a need.
Many buyers now want 3BHK or even 4BHK apartments. But it's not just about more rooms. It's about having rooms that can do more.
Here's what people are looking for:
- A dedicated room or corner for working from home
- Spaces that can double up—like a guest room that becomes a study or fitness area
- Good internet, built-in power points, and quiet zones for video calls
New projects like Birla Evara offer flexible layouts with smartly designed work areas—something that matters a lot in today's lifestyle.
People now want homes that feel bright, open, and connected to nature. These features are no longer "nice to have"—they're deal-breakers.
Buyers prefer homes with:
- Large windows for sunlight
- Cross-ventilation for fresh air
- Big balconies or terraces to relax or garden
Communities that offer green surroundings—like parks, walking paths, and trees—are in high demand. In places like Sarjapur Road and Kodathi Village, buyers value having peaceful, green spaces while still staying close to the city.
Technology at home has become very important, especially for safety and convenience. Many buyers now expect:
- Touch-free door entry
- App-based lighting and appliance control
- Video doorbells and security cameras
- Energy-saving features like solar panels or smart meters
Projects like Birla Evara are including smart-home systems that make everyday living easier and more secure.
Buyers are now more focused on health than before. That means they're looking for homes that come with:
- Outdoor gyms and yoga decks
- Green gardens and spaces for walking
- Meditation corners and wellness zones
Swimming pools and clubhouses are still popular, but many people now want peaceful areas to relax, breathe fresh air, and spend time away from screens.
Living in a good location doesn't just mean being close to your office. It also means:
- Having a school nearby for your kids
- Access to hospitals and pharmacies
- Grocery stores, parks, and other daily needs within reach
- Fast internet and strong mobile networks
This is why places like Sarjapur Road, Whitefield, and North Bangalore remain strong choices. And quieter areas like Kodathi Village are growing fast because they offer more space, cleaner air, and still connect well to the city.
Many homebuyers now ask if a project is eco-friendly. They want:
- Solar panels for power
- Water-saving and recycling systems
- Spaces for waste segregation and composting
- Charging points for electric vehicles
Some projects are even certified by green building councils, showing their commitment to sustainability. Birla Evara is one such example, where green features are part of the design from day one.
Buyers today don't just want a good flat. They want a good community. This includes:
- Gated security for peace of mind
- Open areas to walk and meet neighbors
- Activity zones for kids and families
- Indoor spaces for social events or co-working
Large townships with all these features in one place are more popular than ever. They save time, feel safer, and build stronger bonds between residents.
- Sarjapur Road: Great for IT workers, well-developed schools and hospitals, and good metro access
- Whitefield: Gaining strength with metro expansion and malls
- North Bangalore (Devanahalli, Jakkur): Spacious, quieter, with airport access and upcoming infrastructure
- Kanakapura Road: Greener surroundings, less traffic, still close to city jobs
- Kodathi Village: Calm, green, growing fast—perfect for people who want space without losing city access (home to Birla Evara)
Here are 5 smart questions to ask a builder:
- Is there a quiet space for working or studying?
- How much sunlight does each room get during the day?
- What green or wellness spaces are available on-site?
- Are the home appliances or lights smart-enabled?
- How close is the nearest hospital, school, or park?
In 2025, buying a home in Bangalore is no longer just about square feet or price per unit. People now want homes that feel safe, spacious, smart, and connected to nature. Communities like Birla Evara are leading this change—offering more than just homes, but a better way to live.
As more buyers focus on wellness, flexibility, and long-term comfort, this new style of home isn't a trend. It's the new standard.
