Once a commercial giant and today’s budget home specialist, Khokhra has indeed come a long way and has grown immensely
Situated in the east of Ahmedabad, Khokhra Mehmand abad is surrounded by Saraspur, Maninagar, Amraiwadi, Gomtipur, Ghodasar, Hatkeshwar and Isanpur. Khokhra Mehmadabad was a commercial junction of the city decades back as it houses tens of hundreds mills and factories. Khokhra was famous for the factories and textile mills and no one had thought of residing in Khokhra. But now after the mills have shut Khokhra has turned into a much better place. Today’s Khokhra has lured buyers and builders attention and is growing residentially.

Khokhra has become popular amongst new migrants and young investors seeing its present affordability and future potential.City based builder Mahesh Patel says, “As Khokhra is very near CTM and opens up near expressway, it becomes first choice of new entrants to city from Anand, Nadiad, Vadodara. Also the way Khokhra has begun on the jour ney of transformation it is sure to reap large benefits in future, it is smart to invest here now and en cash the profits later.“

Many sections of Khokhra are developed and in demand already, automobile showrooms, shopping malls, theatres, hospitals, schools, and commercial centers keep Khokhra progressing on realty front.

Khokhra houses major populations of Muslims, Hindus and Jains ; they all stay together peacefully. Houses and apartments are spread across Khokhra. There are pocket friendly as well as above average projects available here. A 1-BHK in Khokhra is available starting from Rs 15 lakh and goes up to Rs 25 lakh depending on its size, location and availability of facilities. Also the trend of rented property and paying guest system is active here since there are many factories and colleges in and around Khokhra and Maninagar East.

Resident Malti Keluskar, says, “We stay in Maninagar but we have bought a 2-BHK in Khokhra for investment considering that area’s price appreciation. The best part is that since there is engineering, dental and all colleges, we instantly gave it on rent and now we earn standard income of Rs 12000 per month and needn’t maintain the flat.“
