When we started this community the idea was simple, a space specifically for people serious about high rise apartment living in Hyderabad. Just people who are buying, living in, or genuinely researching gated high rise communities in this city.

The sub has grown significantly over the last few months and we want to make sure the content actually reflects what you all want to see. So we're asking directly.

What do you want more of on this sub?

• Micro-market deep dives — area by area breakdowns with data on prices, appreciation, infrastructure and livability
• Builder reviews and track records — who's delivering, who's delayed, what residents actually think
• Market data and analysis — registration numbers, price trends, policy changes and what they mean
• Buying guides and process explainers — charges, timelines, legal checks, what nobody tells you before you sign
• Memes and community posts — lighter content, relatable experiences, corridor life
• Real resident experiences and AMAs — people who live in these projects sharing what it's actually like

Please comment below and if you want to suggest something we haven't listed, drop it in the comments. We read everything.

Before anyone says anything in the comments — yes this is a real estate subreddit and yes we are doing a Vastu post. A significant number of buyers factor Vastu into their shortlisting process and nobody talks about it practically. Most content online is either overly spiritual or outright dismissive. This is neither.

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian system of architecture built around directional alignment, natural light, airflow and spatial balance. Whether you follow it as a spiritual practice or just as a framework for common sense living, several of its principles hold up practically. The goal here is to give buyers a working checklist, not a lecture.

One caveat upfront: Vastu was developed for structures on open plots. Applying it to a flat in a 40-floor tower requires nuance. Some principles apply strongly, some partially, and some simply do not translate. We will flag which is which.

Flat facing direction

Flat facing refers to the direction your main entrance door faces and not the balcony, which is typically on the opposite side of the flat.

East and North facing entrances are considered the most favourable in Vastu. East facing brings the first light of the day into the entrance and common areas. North facing is associated with wealth and career stability in Vastu and gets gentler indirect light compared to South or West.

West facing entrances get harsh afternoon sun into the common areas, raising internal temperatures particularly in Hyderabad summers. South facing gets limited direct sunlight overall.

East or North facing is a genuinely good preference regardless of whether you follow Vastu. West facing should be evaluated carefully for thermal comfort especially on higher floors.

Balcony direction

Because the balcony is typically opposite the entrance, an East facing flat will usually have a West facing balcony. This is worth factoring in separately from the entrance direction.

A West facing balcony gets strong afternoon sun which can make the balcony uncomfortably hot for most of the day in Hyderabad's climate. A North or Northeast facing balcony gets gentler light and is more usable through the day. Corner units sometimes offer the advantage of balconies on a different axis from the entrance — worth asking about specifically on site visits.

Main entrance

East, North and Northeast entrances are considered auspicious in Vastu. Southwest is the most problematic. The entrance should be well lit, unobstructed and not directly opposite a lift shaft or staircase.

In a high-rise the entrance direction is fixed by the builder. What you can evaluate is whether it is well lit, has decent ceiling height in the lobby, and is not facing a staircase or lift. Avoid flats where the main door opens directly to a toilet or where the kitchen is visible from the entrance.

Kitchen placement

Southeast is the ideal direction for the kitchen in Vastu, associated with the fire element. The person cooking should ideally face East while at the stove. A kitchen in the Northeast is considered one of the more common Vastu defects and is also practically problematic as it occupies the corner with the best natural light and ventilation, which is better used as living space.

In a high-rise flat you cannot change the kitchen position so this becomes a shortlisting factor rather than something to fix post-purchase.

Master bedroom

Southwest is the preferred direction for the master bedroom in Vastu, associated with stability. The head while sleeping should ideally face South or East.

Southwest placement for the master bedroom tends to mean the room receives less direct sunlight during sleeping hours which supports rest. Avoid master bedrooms in the Northeast which Vastu considers unsuitable and which in practice tends to be a busier, brighter corner of the flat.

Bathrooms and toilets

Northwest is the most acceptable placement. Southeast is an acceptable secondary option. Northeast and Southwest are both considered problematic. A toilet in the Northeast wastes the best-lit and most ventilated corner of the flat.

Floor selection

No firm Vastu rule on floor numbers. Floor selection should be driven by practical considerations like budget, view, thermal comfort based on facing, and privacy. Floors 4 and above avoid ground-level noise, dust and security concerns. Higher floors get better views and airflow but more sun exposure depending on orientation.

What Vastu cannot tell you

Builder delivery quality, water supply, maintenance charges, FSI density and resale liquidity are not Vastu considerations. A Vastu compliant flat in a poorly managed project with tanker dependency is still a poorly managed project. Use Vastu as one lens among several, not the only one.

Drop your inputs in the comments. Whether you follow Vastu strictly, dismiss it entirely, or are somewhere in the middle — all perspectives are useful for people making this decision.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a project over the last few months that came out of a frustration I kept hitting while researching different micromarkets. Figured I'd share it here and get some feedback from the community.

The Problem I Keep Running Into:

Every time I'm trying to analyze a micromarket properly, I end up pulling data from like five different places. Active listing prices are on 99acres and MagicBricks, actual transaction data in official sits, ground-level insights are scattered across Reddit threads and property forums, infrastructure timelines are buried in news articles and municipal announcements.

By the time I stitch it all together into a coherent picture, a couple of months have passed and some of the information is already stale. And I'm doing this manually — spending weeks on something that honestly shouldn't take that long.

The thing is, everyone else is doing the exact same work independently. Real estate professionals, researchers, investors, builders. We're all duplicating effort and the intelligence just stays siloed.

What I'm Building:

Basically, a centralized platform (open source) where all this information lives in one place for each micromarket.

It will have a few layers such as:

1. Listing Data - Actual active prices from all platforms, with price trends tracked over time.

2. Official Reports Data

3. Open source contribution

4. Infrastructure details

Everything gets tagged with a source, timestamp, and can be updated by contributors. No single source of truth claim — just a consolidation of what's already out there plus community updates.

Starting with Financial District-

I'm launching with Financial District first. It's a mature market, good data availability, and clear infrastructure catalysts.

After FD is stable, we'd maybe move wherever else makes sense based on demand.

What I Need From You:

Before I finalize the architecture, I want to make sure I'm building something people would actually use.

The main things I'm trying to figure out:

What data would be most useful for you when analyzing a micromarket? Rental yields? Possession timelines? Builder track records? Infrastructure reliability (water, power)?

What's currently hard to find or takes too long to track down?

For Financial District specifically — what are the biggest gaps right now?

How should we handle community submissions and updates? How do we maintain data quality?

Next Steps:

GitHub repo will be up in the next week or so. If anyone's interested in contributing data, I'd like to hear from you.

This only works if the community actually contributes. But if we get it right, the next person analyzing a micromarket can pull together solid analysis in days instead of weeks.

Ground level feedback is especially valuable here. If you've recently invested, are actively looking, or have worked on infrastructure projects in Hyderabad, your input on what data actually matters is the most useful thing I can get.

Let me know what you think.

Hello everyone, here is Part 4 of the series. Kompally and Bachupally complete our look at the north Hyderabad corridor. Rajendra Nagar closes the loop on south Hyderabad, an area that kept coming up as a comparable across the earlier parts and deserves its own breakdown.

As always, drop your ground level inputs below.

Kompally

Price range: ₹5,350 – ₹8,150/sqft (gated community apartments) Avg listed: ~₹6,300/sqft | Avg transaction rate: ~₹5,663/sqft (Telangana Govt data)

1-Year Appreciation: ~12.5%

5-Year / 10-Year: ~59.5% / ~200%

Rental Yield: ~2%

Segment: Affordable to Mid

Governance: GHMC

Kompally is north Hyderabad's most established residential market and it tends to get underestimated. The 10-year appreciation number is 200 percent. That is genuine end-user demand absorbing supply over two decades in a market that already has functional schools, hospitals, local commercial activity and solid road connectivity in place. The closest comparison is Kukatpally in the early 2010s.

The buyer profile is broader than almost any other market in this series. Entry-level 3BHK buyers getting their first serious home, families upgrading within north Hyderabad, mid-income professionals drawn by value, and a land-investment segment targeting the RRR corridor. Aparna Serenity had the highest transaction volume in the area at 189 registrations in the past year. Spread across multiple projects and buyer types, this is a market with real depth.

The two incoming catalysts are the Kandlakoya IT Gateway and the proposed Metro Phase II-B corridor from Paradise to Medchal. Neither is priced in yet. Whether they execute on schedule is the question it always is with Hyderabad Metro Phase II.

Social infrastructure is solid for the price point. Schools, hospitals and local commercial activity are already in place, which is more than can be said for most markets at this price band. It is worth checking the specific project location before committing, some NH-44 fringe pockets have issues with air quality from nearby industrial activity.

Verdict: Kompally is the most straightforward value market in this series. Organic demand, broad buyer base, real infrastructure already built, and two credible catalysts ahead that have not yet moved prices. At 2% rental yield this is not an income play. It is appreciation or nothing, and the 10-year track record suggests that is a reasonable bet.

Bachupally

Price range: ₹5,750 – ₹8,650/sqft (gated community apartments) Avg listed: ~₹7,350/sqft | Avg transaction rate: ~₹6,120/sqft (Telangana Govt data)
1-Year Appreciation: ~18.5%
3-Year / 5-Year: ~42.7% / ~79.3%
Rental Yield: ~3%
Segment: Affordable to Mid
Governance: GHMC

Bachupally had the highest transaction volume of any micro-market in this entire series. 2,001 registered deals worth ₹905 crore in a single 12-month window. That number matters because it is not driven by one mega-project. Supply is spread across multiple developers, which means the absorption is genuinely broad-based.

Urbanrise on Cloud 33 leads by transaction volume and is the most active project in the area by a significant margin. Risinia Skyon was the top appreciator at 34.4% year-on-year. Rize Developers and Praneeth Developers dominate overall volume, which tells you this market is being served by builders who understand the local mid-income buyer.

The demand driver is simple: affordable pricing relative to the western corridor with real ORR and NH-44 connectivity. Buyers are price-sensitive working professionals who access HITEC City, Gachibowli and Financial District via the Miyapur junction. This is not speculative demand tied to a future IT park. It is people who need housing they can afford near a commute they can live with.

Average 3BHK rent is around ₹40,659 per month. This is one of the few affordable markets in this series where the investment case has a genuine income component. One thing to factor in: the gap between listed price (~₹7,350/sqft) and registered transaction rate (~₹6,120/sqft) is material and reflects newer premium launches inflating the ask. That gap will compress as under-construction stock delivers.

Verdict: Bachupally is the cleanest mid-market bet in north Hyderabad right now. Transaction volume tells you the market is liquid, demand is real and builders believe in it. 18.5% one-year appreciation on a base already up 79% over five years is not small, and the income case holds alongside it. Main risk is that supply stays elevated and Metro Phase II-B continues to slip. For a 3 to 5 year hold-and-rent strategy, this is probably the most well-rounded story in the north corridor.

Rajendra Nagar

Price range: ₹7,200 – ₹9,900/sqft (active market supply, mid-2026) Avg listed: ~₹8,400/sqft 1-Year Appreciation: ~15.1%
3-Year / 5-Year: ~16.7% / ~30.2%
Rental Yield: ~2%
Segment: Mid-Premium
Governance: GHMC / Ranga Reddy

Rajendra Nagar's story is a re-rating driven by branded developer entry and a stack of government-backed catalysts. Godrej, Prestige and Ramky do not enter a market without running the demand model, and the fact that all three are active here simultaneously is the clearest signal this is no longer a peripheral call. The demand base is IT professionals using the PV Narasimha Rao Expressway to reach Financial District in roughly 20 minutes, legal and government professionals drawn by the upcoming High Court campus, and value-seeking buyers priced out of the western corridor.

The two major infrastructure catalysts are the planned 350-acre IT corridor between Budvel and Kismatpur, with progress reviewed by the Telangana Chief Secretary as recently as June 2025, and the new Telangana High Court campus at 100 acres and ₹2,600 crore. A permanent institutional anchor like that brings a professional population not tied to IT hiring cycles, which is a meaningful diversifier. The Airport Metro Express with a Rajendra Nagar station is also under active construction and will cut airport travel significantly when it opens.

Social infrastructure is improving but not complete. Schools and hospitals within the area are adequate for daily needs but the branded tier you get in Gachibowli is not here yet. The large township projects are incorporating retail and F&B into their masterplans which will partially compensate over time.

Supply is the key risk. Prestige City (4,600+ units), Godrej Regal Pavilion (2,000+ units) and other large projects are all live simultaneously. If the IT corridor and High Court timelines slip, that is a lot of inventory chasing incomplete catalysts.

Verdict: Rajendra Nagar is the highest-upside entry in this part of the series and the highest-risk. Buy in a branded project, price in a 5-7 year horizon, and do not assume the IT corridor is operational by Year 2. At 2% rental yield this is not an income play. It is a call on south Hyderabad emerging as a genuine alternative to the western corridor. That call has real merit, it just needs time and government follow-through to pay off.

That covers three areas that rarely get covered together but tell a coherent story about demand moving into markets that western corridor pricing has pushed buyers out of.

Ground level inputs are especially welcome here. If you have bought in any of these three or are actively looking, drop it in the comments.

Hello everyone, here is Part 3 of the series. Neopolis is an area everyone is talking about so we're finally covering that. Manchirevula and Osman Nagar round it out. Osman Nagar in particular came up as a comparable in Part 2 so hopefully this gives people the full picture.

As always please feel free to drop your ground level inputs below!

Neopolis

Price range: ₹9,000 – ₹13,000/sqft (mid-tier launches); ₹14,000 – ₹17,500/sqft (ultra-luxury)
1-Year Appreciation: ~12-15% (premium segment, listed prices)
Rental Yield: 3 – 4.5% (delivered towers only; most projects still under construction)
Segment: Premium to Ultra Luxury
Governance: HMDA / State IT SEZ

Neopolis was built from scratch by HMDA as a premium IT and residential zone, and the product reflects that. Land auction prices are among the highest ever recorded in Hyderabad. That puts a hard floor under values that is very difficult to break through.

Demand comes from GCC executives, senior IT professionals and entrepreneurs. This is not a regular IT corridor like Kokapet or Narsingi. The buyer profile is narrower, the tickets are bigger, and end users dominate. Land supply here is essentially closed so what is being built now is largely what will ever be built.

On government infrastructure, ORR access is direct and the SEZ status means roads, utilities and power are part of the master plan from day one. Metro Phase 2 connectivity is in the pipeline. Defence and state IT zones are adjacent which adds long term commercial weight.

Social infrastructure is still being built out. A school campus and premium mall are planned within the zone but not yet operational. The nearest major hospitals are in Gachibowli, around 9-11 km away. No major hospital exists within the Neopolis boundary itself, which is a gap for families to factor in.

Verdict: Neopolis is a genuinely well-structured ultra-luxury market with strong fundamentals. The amenities are still catching up, most projects are yet to be delivered, and the resale pool is small by nature. Tickets start at 5 crore plus so it is not for everyone, but for the right buyer with a 7-10 year horizon this is one of the most defensible luxury bets in Hyderabad right now.

Manchirevula

Price range: ₹6,800 – ₹7,500/sqft (OTP pricing, high-rise gated community)
1-Year Appreciation: ~7-8% (based on Q3 2025 project-level data; treat as indicative) Segment: Mid Premium
Governance: HMDA / Narsingi municipality

Manchirevula sits just off ORR Exit 18A next to Narsingi. The area is currently defined by one dominant high-rise project, a 55 floor, 6 tower, 1,500+ unit development that is among the tallest residential projects under construction in Hyderabad right now. The rest of the area is smaller mid-segment projects and open land.

The area is 11 minutes from Wipro Circle, 13 minutes from Financial District and priced well below Kokapet and Narsingi. Buyers are mostly IT professionals who want west corridor proximity without paying west corridor prices. End user demand is genuine here unlike more speculative pockets further out. It's worth noting that CLP pricing on the dominant project runs significantly higher than the OTP range above, so verify which payment plan applies before using these figures for comparison.

Government infrastructure is functional but still developing. ORR Exit 18A is the main connectivity point. There is no metro currently and the nearest MMTS is Lingampally. Power is generally reliable.

Social infrastructure is thin within the boundary itself. Nearest branded schools and major hospitals are in the Narsingi and Gopanpally belt. Citizens Specialty Hospital at Nallagandla is around 8 km and Continental Hospital is approximately 12 km via ORR. No major hospital is within the immediate area. Retail and dining means heading to the Narsingi service road. Water supply at this scale of high-rise density is worth verifying at project level before committing.

Verdict: A reasonable mid-premium option for someone who wants Financial District proximity at a friendlier price and does not need everything ready today. The single project risk is real though. If the dominant project here delivers well it puts the area on the map and pulls in the next wave of development. RERA is registered and possession is December 2028, so plan your holding period around that.

Osman Nagar

Price range: ₹7,500 – ₹8,100/sqft (standard gated high-rise); ₹12,000 – ₹14,000/sqft (luxury)
1-Year Appreciation: ~7.6% (99acres, April 2026)
Rental Yield: 3 – 4% (gated community segment)
Segment: Mid Premium to Premium
Governance: HMDA

Osman Nagar kept coming up as a comparable in Part 2 and it deserves its own breakdown because this market has been quietly moving.

The biggest recent development is a TGIIC government land auction in April 2026 where two plots totalling 15.81 acres went under the hammer for the first time. When government land starts getting auctioned in a pocket, developers take notice.

Demand is from IT professionals working in Financial District, Gachibowli and HITEC City, similar profile to Tellapur but at a slightly lower price point. Supply-demand balance is healthier than Kollur and the buyer base is more end-user led.

Government infrastructure is a genuine positive. HMDA governed, ORR connectivity is solid and commute times have improved meaningfully in the last couple of years. The TGIIC auction signals that state level investment attention is now being directed here. Metro Phase 2 is in the long term plan but no firm timeline yet.

Social infrastructure is better than the area's reputation suggests. There are solid school options in the Tellapur-Osman Nagar belt which is a genuine strength for families. Citizens Specialty Hospital at Nallagandla is about 5-6 km away and Continental is around 15 minutes by car. TellaNalla Central Park is close by and Sarath City Capital Mall is within 25-30 minutes. Water supply has the same tanker dependency issues as Tellapur and HMWSSB grid extension is still pending.

Verdict: Osman Nagar is no longer the afterthought it appeared to be 18 months ago. The government land auction, the Tellapur spillover and improving infrastructure are all moving in the right direction. Rental yield is not the reason to buy here, capital appreciation is. If you missed Tellapur at the right entry point, this is the closest thing to a second chance at a similar story. Watch the TGIIC auction outcomes closely, they will define what the next 2-3 years look like for this pocket.

This brings us to the end to the third part of our series. Let me know in the comments what you guys think. If you personally have suggestions for areas you want me to do next please let me know. Thank you for reading!

1-Year Appreciation: ~7-8% (based on Q3 2025 project-level data; treat as indicative) Segment: Mid Premium

1-Year Appreciation: ~7.6% (99acres, April 2026)
Rental Yield: 3 – 4% (gated community segment)

Demand is from IT professionals working in Financial District, Gachibowli and HITEC City, similar profile to Tellapur but at a slightly lower price point. Supply-demand balance is healthier than Kollur and the buyer base is more end-user led.

Government infrastructure is a genuine positive. HMDA governed, ORR connectivity is solid and commute times have improved meaningfully in the last couple of years. The TGIIC auction signals that state level investment attention is now being directed here. Metro Phase 2 is in the long term plan but no firm timeline yet.

Social infrastructure is better than the area's reputation suggests. There are solid school options in the Tellapur-Osman Nagar belt which is a genuine strength for families. Citizens Specialty Hospital at Nallagandla is about 5-6 km away and Continental is around 15 minutes by car. TellaNalla Central Park is close by and Sarath City Capital Mall is within 25-30 minutes.

Hello everyone, here is part two of the series on the emerging micro markets in Hyderabad. Today we'll dive into the high rise projects in 3 other major areas that have been developed in recent years. Please give us your inputs as well; I think everyone can contribute to making this data useful for people that are new to the city and for people that want to invest in property.

KOKAPET

Price range: ₹9,500 – ₹12,700 per sqft

1-Year Appreciation: ~4.7% (avg listed)

Rental Yield: 3–4%

Segment: Premium to Ultra Luxury

Governance: HMDA

Kokapet needs no introduction at this point. It's the most talked-about luxury corridor in the city right now. The primary growth story here is Neopolis SEZ, HMDA's own IT/commercial zone adjacent to Kokapet, which is expected to generate tens of thousands of direct and ancillary jobs. Demand is a mix of young IT professionals, HNI families, and NRIs/investors. Supply is large in absolute terms but has been absorbed at healthy rates. The single biggest risk is Neopolis timeline slippage. If that gets delayed, the market could get supply-hung fast.

It's also worth noting that this is one of the most government-engineered micro-markets in the city, shaped by HMDA's own land auctions. The ORR Exit 14 gives direct, signal-free access. A Kokapet–Narsingi metro link has been proposed and would be a genuine game-changer, but hasn't broken ground yet. Water supply remains a concern as many projects are still partly tanker-dependent while HMWSSB coverage catches up. Sewage infrastructure is similarly behind. Power is generally reliable in established projects; most ultra-high-rises have DG backup.

On the social side, Oakridge International (FD campus) and several CBSE schools in Nanakramguda are nearby. Continental Hospital is ~9 km and AIG is ~11 km, but there's nothing major within Kokapet itself which is something to keep in mind for families. The area still has a relatively open feel with lakes and the Golconda range as backdrop but sadly construction is eating into that. Premium dining and retail means people in the area need to drive to Jubilee Hills or Banjara Hills (~20–25 min).

KOLLUR

Price range: ₹5,700 – ₹13,000 per sq ft 

1-Year Appreciation: ~3%

Segment: Mid to Premium

Governance: Sangareddy District / ORR corridor

That price range isn't a typo. Kollur is genuinely two different markets — affordable apartments in ORR-adjacent pockets on one end, premium launches riding the Neopolis wave on the other. There are around 24 active projects makes it one of the most supply-heavy corridors in the west right now.

Demand here is almost entirely speculative and investment-driven. Commercial infrastructure within Kollur itself is sparse, so genuine end-user demand is limited. The buyer profile is mostly IT professionals from HITEC City, Gachibowli, and FD who've been priced out of Kokapet and Narsingi and are betting on appreciation upside. Realistically, this area is 3–5 years from being a comfortable end-use destination. The supply volume is the key risk because if Neopolis gets delayed, absorption slows and prices plateau.

Kollur is a Sangareddy District village, so civic infrastructure is basic. ORR Exit 2 works for connectivity but there's no metro, and the nearest MMTS is Lingampally at ~11 km. Most projects run on tankers as HMWSSB grid extension is still pending.

Nearest schools are in Gopanpally and Osman Nagar — no branded international options close by. Continental Hospital is ~12 km and AIG is ~23 km via ORR. The greenery and open spaces are genuinely a plus, but liveability today is low if you're used to city amenities. Long commutes and sparse local services are the most common complaints from people who've moved here.

Tellapur

 Price range: ₹7,500 – ₹8,200 per sq ft (avg); premium projects ₹10,000–₹14,000 

1-Year Appreciation: ~8% (avg listed)

Rental Yield: ~4%

Segment: Mid Premium to Premium

Governance: Tellapur Municipality / HMDA

Tellapur doesn't get as much hype as Kokapet but in many ways it's the more stable bet, especially for end-users. There are around 190+ ongoing and completed projects which signal a deep, active market and unlike Kollur, the demand here is primarily end-user driven, which makes the appreciation more durable and less vulnerable to sentiment shifts.

The core buyer is the IT professional working in Gachibowli, Financial District, or HITEC City who wants more space and some greenery without paying Kokapet prices. Supply-demand balance is healthier here than in most other western micro-markets. The under-construction pipeline is large but it's largely in the hands of established developers with RERA registration, so delivery risk is comparatively lower.

The Tellapur–Kollur Radial Road and Gopanpally–Tellapur stretch have made a real difference to commute times. ORR Exit 2 is accessible while Lingampally MMTS is ~6–7 km away. Water is a known pressure point. The area has grown faster than the infrastructure and tanker dependency is common; HMWSSB grid extension is needed here too. Power is reliable in most established pockets.

Schools are one of Tellapur's genuine strengths; Manthan International, Sancta Maria International, and Glendale Creative Arts Academy are all within or adjacent to the area, which drives strong family demand. Continental, AIG, and Citizens Specialty Hospital are within 10–15 km via ORR. Sarath City Capital Mall and AMB Cinemas are within 30 minutes. Premium retail is still catching up but improving. Tellanalla Central Park and several large township green spaces make this one of the greener established micro-markets in West Hyderabad.

What do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree with my analysis? Suggestions for the next part are welcome too. We should aim to help as many people as possible so they can ask informed questions to brokers, real estate companies and so that everyone knows which area could be the perfect home for them.
