Buy Vs rent in Richmond Town, is a 3 bhk worth it at present price?
Been renting a 3 bhk in Richmond Town for a few years now and honestly confused whether to finally buy or just keep renting. Prices here have gone crazy, even a decent flat is 3-5 Cr now and EMI comes to almost 3x my current rent. Rental yield is also barely 2 to 2.5 percent so investment wise also doesn't feel great. What are you guys doing, buying or renting here?

For those who have stayed in multiple central Bengaluru areas, is Richmond Town actually more livable than Cunningham Road or Frazer Town?
I'm trying to figure out which central area is actually better to live...Richmond Town is quiet, but Cunningham Road and Frazer Town have more going on. For those who have stayed in these spots, which one feels more comfortable? Is the traffic and noise in Richmond Town better or worse? Please share your experience and tell me which area you'd choose...

Is BBMP actually maintaining Richmond Town footpaths and heritage trees or are we quietly losing the old charm?
Is BBMP properly maintaining Richmond Town footpaths and old heritage trees, or is the area slowly losing its charm? Many residents value the clean roads, walkable streets, and green cover that make this locality special. But broken footpaths, tree cutting, and poor upkeep can change that feel over time. Is Richmond Town still being cared for well, or are small issues adding up now?
Richmond Town holds a 4.2 safety rating, does it still feel that safe at night near Rhenius Street and Norris Road?
Richmond Town is known as a calm and decent area, but does that same feeling continue at night near Rhenius Street and Norris Road? Some residents may feel fine because of regular movement and good surroundings, while others may feel uneasy when roads become quiet late at night. Ratings may say one thing, but daily experience can be different. How do you feel here after dark?

Richmond Town landlords pushing 10 percent rent hike this April, anyone getting a better deal as a long term tenant?
Been staying in Richmond Town for a few years now and my landlord is asking for a 10% rent hike this April...I've always paid on time and never caused any problems so was hoping he'd be a bit easy with long term tenants...but seems like everyone is just going by market rate these days. Are other Richmond Town tenants also getting hit with the same hike or are some landlords still being reasonable with old tenants?
Richmond Town water supply and AQI worse than last year?
People living in Richmond Town, how is your water and air quality situation compared to last summer? BWSSB has been giving water cuts every other week already and the cauvery supply keeps getting disrupted...on top of that, Bangalore's AQI has been sitting in the poor range this month, around 110-130 regularly, which feels way worse than last year. Are you all also noticing the same or is it just my area?
Blue Line metro to airport from Richmond Town, when is it really happening?
Living in Richmond Town and every airport trip is the same pain....auto to MG Road or Majestic, then Vayu Vajra or cab via Hebbal, easily 60 to 90 mins depending on traffic. The Blue Line metro was supposed to connect to airport by Dec 2026 but now Silk Board to KR Puram itself is delayed, KR Puram to Hebbal pushed to 2027, and actual airport stretch maybe late 2027 at best...even from MG Road metro we will need to switch lines. Has anyone figured out a realistic timeline or are we stuck with cabs for two more years?

Richmond Town property prices, still moving up or finally settled down this year?
Richmond Town is at Rs 19,400 per sq ft now, but is the price still going up or has it become flat? Old bungalow plots are touching Rs 25,000 to Rs 35,000, while some apartment rates have come down a little. Are buyers still showing interest at this price, or is the market slowly going quiet? Share recent deals and your honest opinion.

I invested here mainly because the locality combines heritage appeal, central connectivity, and strong residential demand.
