Affluent Indians swap skyscrapers for spacious villas

Affluent buyers in India prefer spacious villas over highrises for a superior lifestyle and personal land ownership, say experts.

Villas in gated communities are in high demand, driven by aspirations for more generous living space.

Modern villas, often spanning two stories, offer world-class amenities focused on wellness, leisure, and comfort.

Anarock data reveals that, of 328,400 units launched in top cities in 2023, 8,610 were luxurious villas, showing a gradual increase.

Villas are especially popular in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, with Bengaluru and Hyderabad leading due to a strong preference for land ownership.

This trend signals a shift towards a more luxurious living experience, where villas provide both seclusion and upscale amenities.
