Hyderabad’s housing market shows a clear gap in value across locations. A ₹1 crore budget stretches very differently depending on where you buy — from compact homes in premium neighbourhoods near the IT corridor to significantly larger apartments in the city’s peripheral markets. This contrast is highlighted in the report How Much Sqft Can You Buy in Hyderabad for ₹1 Crore?, which maps how location continues to shape affordability across the city.
Prime Locations Offer Less Space for the Same Budget
In upscale Jubilee Hills, one of Hyderabad’s most premium residential pockets, a ₹1 crore budget buys just about 480 sq ft of apartment space. The locality’s proximity to Banjara Hills and Hitech City, along with strong commercial demand, keeps property prices elevated.
Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO and co-founder of CRE Matrix, notes that the concentration of commercial activity in Jubilee Hills also contributes to higher residential values, as companies are willing to pay a premium to operate from prime locations.
Other high-demand locations within the IT corridor also command premium rates. In Kokapet, buyers get around 617 sq ft for ₹1 crore, while in Nanakramguda, the same budget offers roughly 698 sq ft. These micro-markets continue to attract end-users and investors due to their closeness to major technology hubs and corporate offices.
Mid-Tier Localities Offer Better Value
Neighbourhoods slightly away from the core IT corridor offer comparatively more space. In Serilingampally, a ₹1 crore budget translates to around 764 sq ft, while Narsingi offers about 772 sq ft. Osman Nagar and Kukatpally provide marginally larger options at around 815 sq ft and 842 sq ft, respectively.
These areas remain popular among homebuyers seeking a balance between connectivity to employment hubs and relatively better affordability.
More Space in Emerging and Peripheral Markets
As buyers move further away from central business districts, the value per square foot improves significantly. Rajendra Nagar offers approximately 933 sq ft for ₹1 crore, while Tellapur and Miyapur provide close to 983 sq ft and 1,009 sq ft, respectively.
The largest apartment sizes within the ₹1 crore budget are found in peripheral markets. Nizampet offers around 1,024 sq ft, Bachupally about 1,059 sq ft, Patancheru close to 1,140 sq ft, Pocharam around 1,330 sq ft, and Isnapur offers the maximum space at nearly 1,448 sq ft.
IT Corridor Continues to Drive Premium Pricing
West Hyderabad continues to dominate as the city’s prime residential zone due to its proximity to the IT corridor. Areas such as Jubilee Hills, Kokapet, and Nanakramguda benefit from sustained demand driven by corporate presence, infrastructure development, and lifestyle amenities. This concentration of commercial and residential demand has led to consistently higher property values in these locations.
Rising Demand Is Stretching Affordability
Hyderabad’s luxury and mid-premium housing segments have witnessed strong price growth in recent years. While demand remains healthy in the ₹1–2 crore bracket, affordability pressures are becoming more visible for mid-income buyers. Despite higher prices, transaction volumes continue to remain steady, indicating sustained buyer confidence in the city’s residential market.
East Hyderabad, while still relatively affordable compared to the western IT corridor, is emerging as the next growth frontier. Improved infrastructure and upcoming commercial development are expected to drive future price appreciation in these areas.
Luxury Housing Has Headroom for Growth
Hyderabad’s luxury housing segment is still in a relatively early stage of development compared to more mature markets. Only a few micro-markets currently command very high per-square-foot prices, leaving room for further appreciation as premium housing demand grows.
However, long-term growth will depend on sustained corporate investments, steady job creation, and continued expansion of the city’s technology and commercial ecosystem. As Hyderabad attracts more businesses and professionals, demand for high-end and mid-premium homes is likely to remain resilient.
