People from all parts of India come for treatment in Sai Baba hospital in Whitefield and the area has grown in respect of social infrastructure with simultaneous increase in the residential population in the last one and a half decade. There are a few educational institutions too that are being targeted by students all over India and even abroad.

The corporates have also started investing in apartments, row houses and villas for their officials. The immigrants from other parts of India also value the place as a good investment option as many are having a good income and find it pointless in paying rent and instead pay the EMIs for their own apartments.

Communication Facility
As far as connectivity with Bengaluru is concerned, Whitefield is accessible through two of the major four lane roads namely HAL, Old Airport Road via Marathahalli and secondly through Mahadevpura. Both these routes intersect with State Highways of Karnataka (SH 35) and further is connected to Anekal in the South and Siddlaghatta in the North. The International Airport is about 45 to 50 km away from Whitefield and is connected through the State Highways, SH 104 and SH 207. Apart from this the Whitefield railway station is another advantage of the area which gives easy access to the city.
So with all these facilities and the higher echelons of the customer segment of Bengaluru real estate market increasingly demanding the area, lot of luxury apartments are being constructed. The logic of the customers of the uber-luxury apartments are that after a tiring day of 10 to 12 hours of work one would ask for a place where there is social life which is not far away. Another strong point is that this class always wants to remain aloof from the crowd but at the same time connectivity is one of the demanding criteria. In all these respects the area is highly suitable which makes the place both resident and investment friendly. Apart from the uber-luxury apartment seekers the office space absorption and the immigration of retail and commercial spaces are also on the rise. With this given situation the intelligent investors certainly consider Whitefield as a hot spot.
