Concerns to Watch
- Water scarcity: Whitefield has historically faced Cauvery water supply issues. Ensure your project has BWSSB connection approval or relies on KSC (Kuvempu Supply Company) water supply, not just borewells.
- School seat crunch: Top schools in Whitefield are oversubscribed. If school admissions are a priority, verify proximity and seat availability before finalising.
- Apartment oversupply in luxury segment: Inventory overhang above ₹1.8 Cr in Whitefield is approximately 30 months; negotiate firmly in this segment.
