Northern star of Ahmedabad, this area is growing at a fast pace and is increasingly luring many big and small investments
Science City, which was once thought of as a distant relative of this metro city is today an inevitable part of the city. This huge locality, a toddler added to the family of areas comprising Ahmedabad, got its name from the much-acclaimed Gujarat Science city that is in its neighbourhood.

PLEASANT LIFESTYLE

It is similar to the potential emerging areas of other big cities like Vadodara’s Bhayli or Surat’s Adajan. Science City is an area for the people who swear by pleasant mornings, spacious outdoors, chirping birds, large green backyards, fresh air and noise less living. Situated on the middle of two major circular ways, SP Ring Road and SG Highway, this area is developing at fast pace. Growing in the proximity of areas like Bopal, Sola, Ghatlodiya, Ograj, Science City is the gateway of North Gujarat.

MINI NORTH GUJARAT

Big Swaminarayan Temple, ISCON Mandir, Jain Temple and with various other small temples, this area has people from different walks of life staying here. Middle class and upper middle class crowd occupy the area and there is a unique blend of communities staying peacefully together. This area is a major hub of migration of large numbers of North Gujaratis. Since science city serves as the entry area to the Uttar Gujarat many Uttar Gujaratis have narrowed down on this area to have a feel of staying near their native. The area opens into KadiKalol which has also made the industrial hub Kadi’s top employees staying in this area.

UNITY IN COMMUNITY

Dominated by the population of North Gujarat, the area has developed as a major residential hub and the increasing number of residents is boosting its commercial growth as well.

Hospitals, restaurants, offices, schools, banks are situated in and around area. The entire area is so close knit that in the phase post Navratri and before Diwali, there is this huge gathering organised where residents of all the apartments and societies of Science city flock together.

There are few competitions and a grand dinner that the Science City dwellers enjoy together every year.
