Ahmedabad: Once the crown jewel of Ahmedabad’s high-end real estate market, Iscon-Ambli Road is steadily losing its appeal as a premier residential destination. Increasing commercialisation, rising congestion, and the loss of its serene character have prompted affluent homebuyers to seek alternatives that better meet their lifestyle preferences.

Once synonymous with luxury and exclusivity, Iscon-Ambli Road’s transformation into a bustling mixed-use zone has brought dense traffic and significant commercial activity, diminishing its appeal for premium residential living. The area’s changing dynamics have left many high-net-worth individuals seeking more tranquil environments.

Bhavesh Thakkar remarked, “Iscon-Ambli remains one of Ahmedabad’s top locations, but the surge in mixed-use developments and commercialisation has changed its character, making it less attractive to buyers seeking luxury homes. This shift has boosted the appeal of alternative locations offering a more peaceful and exclusive environment.”

Mayur Prajapati added, “Iscon-Ambli’s rise as a luxury destination was driven by its connectivity and location. However, its transformation into a predominantly commercial zone has impacted its residential charm. Nearby areas that maintain exclusivity without traffic congestion are emerging as preferred choices.”

The Thaltej-Shilaj corridor, in particular, has gained popularity for its low-density layouts, green spaces, and promise of exclusivity. Its strategic location, seamless connectivity to SG Highway and SP Ring Road, and improved infrastructure have made it a rising destination for luxury living. This trend reflects the evolving priorities of Ahmedabad’s elite, who now place greater emphasis on privacy, tranquillity, and quality of life.

As Iscon-Ambli Road navigates its commercial transformation, the emergence of new residential hotspots marks a significant shift in Ahmedabad’s real estate landscape.
