As Bengaluru’s real estate market reaches dizzying heights—characterized by spiraling rents and property prices—an increasingly significant number of tech professionals are setting their sights on Mysuru. A Hindustan Times report from August 11, 2025, highlights that remote and hybrid-working techies are gravitating toward Mysuru in search of cleaner air, quieter surroundings, and more affordable housing options.
A key catalyst for this trend is the Bengaluru–Mysuru Expressway. The infrastructure upgrade has drastically shortened travel time, making Mysuru a viable residential option for those still working in Bengaluru. What’s more, state authorities are exploring a Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) between the two cities, a proposed project that could reduce the commute to under 70 minutes—potentially transforming the residential dynamics further.
Real estate developers and experts are also bullish on Mysuru’s prospects. According to realtors, the city is shedding its “pensioner’s paradise” image, emerging as a vibrant alternative for young professionals and investors alike. With its blend of heritage charm and modern infrastructure growth, Mysuru is rapidly becoming the lifestyle pivot point for Bengaluru’s tech workforce.
