There are certain pockets of the city which are way ahead of others when it comes to development, prestige, and even price. These are the pockets that now come to mind when someone mentions "posh area in Lucknow."

If you are thinking about buying a house or relocating your family to the city and wish to know about the prime real estate in Lucknow, then this list should help you a great deal.

Top 5 Posh Areas in Lucknow for Residential Living 

Gomti Nagar

Any discussion regarding a posh locality in Lucknow cannot be complete without talking about Gomti Nagar. This locality has been developed by the Lucknow Development Authority on the banks of Gomti River and has now come to be regarded as the benchmark for every other posh locality of the city.

The uniqueness of the locality comes from the way it is self-contained. With all the corporate offices, multiplexes, shopping malls, top schools and hospitals located within a drive distance, Gomti Nagar offers something unique. The presence of the largest urban park of Asia, Janeshwar Mishra Park, gives it a touch of nature and greenery that is usually difficult to find in a rapidly growing city. In addition to this, government offices and the High Court in its vicinity ensures that there is consistent traffic and demand, which keeps the resale value up.

The locality offers matured and well networked locality for families and the only thing that needs to be considered is the age of the particular building or the particular sector as some of the older sectors need renovation.

Hazratganj

While Gomti Nagar epitomizes the modern face of Lucknow, Hazratganj captures its ancient spirit. The colonial charm of this place, often referred to as the heart of the city, cannot be replicated anywhere else because of all the new developments happening in Lucknow.

The location of Hazratganj offers a lot to people living there. It provides easy access to popular eating places, shopping malls in the city, administrative centers, and other cultural centers. For years, it has been home to many popular and influential families of Lucknow and hence has a social prestige unmatched by any other locality in the city.

However, there is always something that comes at the cost of something else. The lack of space is one such issue with Hazratganj, where most areas are already developed, making it impossible for the developers to construct new houses or apartments. This makes them costly compared to the new townships.

Raebareli Road

Raebareli Road has emerged as one of the most functional premium localities of Lucknow, and one can figure out the reason for this quite easily, if one just overlooks the traffic on this highway. Raebareli Road has quite a bit of social infrastructure in place – the Sardar Patel Post Graduate Institute of Dental & Medical Sciences and the SGPGI are located here, and thus make this an extremely attractive option for those buyers who require quality medical facilities in their area of living.

Raebareli Road is perfect for those buyers who are looking for a connected but developing locality at a price point lower than the saturated Gomti Nagar.

Sultanpur Road

Among those areas of Lucknow where speediest development has been observed in recent times is the Sultanpur Road (NH-56). The road, which once served as a rather quiet escape from the city, now has become one of the most important investment and residential regions of Lucknow, largely due to two major government schemes – the LDA’s IT City and the Wellness City.

It provides great connectivity with the Amar Shaheed Path, the Outer Ring Road (Kisan Path) and Purvanchal Expressway, whereby people can easily go to Gomti Nagar, Lulu Mall, and even the airport, without passing through the hectic city. In addition, gated townships on the road offer facilities like clubhouses, gardens, jogging tracks and swimming pools to their residents. There are also some famous schools such as DPS, Amity and GD Goenka School around the road. The inclusion of Ekana Stadium and the developing region of Arjunganj has made the locality even more popular.

Sushant Golf City (Shaheed Path)

Lastly, Sushant Golf City located on Shaheed Path, close to Lucknow-Sultanpur road route, Lucknow. It is one of the most planned townships constructed based on an 18-hole golf course. In other words, here you will find what we call resort-style luxury – amenities galore in a completely new location as opposed to old luxury locations which have been developed organically over many years.

This area comes with facilities such as club houses, landscaping, cafes, and luxury apartments and villas, making it very difficult to provide in the older areas of Lucknow. Additionally, the locality has witnessed rapid developments in terms of infrastructure and better connectivity to the malls of Ekana and Lulu Mall among others, keeping the price appreciation and demand constant in this area.

This area is perfect for people looking for a gated community-style life at the cost of slightly longer commute to the older parts of Lucknow.

Choosing the Right Posh Area for You

None of the five listed options can be considered the best choice; everything will depend on the purpose.

• If you need heritage and centrality, then Hazratganj is your option.

• If you want a comprehensive residential complex, then Gomti Nagar is your choice.

• For a good education and quiet life, Aliganj is suitable.

• If you have the desire to live in a developed locality, then Mahanagar will suit you.

• And if you dream of a new resort-type gated complex, then Sushant Golf City was designed for that purpose.

Before choosing a particular locality, it is necessary to visit the locality in the morning hours when commuting, check the age of the building, its maintenance condition, and whether the project is registered with RERA/LDA.
