1. Property Appreciation Trends in Igatpuri

Over the last 5 years, Igatpuri has witnessed a steady appreciation of 8% to 12% per annum — especially in areas close to highways, water bodies, and gated communities.
Key drivers of growth:

  • Tourism boom & increased homestay demand

  • Wellness and nature-based living trends

  • Infrastructure expansion (NH-160, railways, and local road widening)



Projects like Lakefield Apartments are capitalizing on these trends with value-for-money pricing and thoughtfully planned amenities that appeal to both users and renters.

3. Rise in Short-Term Rentals & Holiday Home Demand

With more people turning to Airbnb-style stays for weekend getaways, there’s rising rental demand for well-maintained properties in Igatpuri — especially during monsoon and holiday seasons.

Lakefield Apartments is investor-ready:

  • Located near tourist hotspots

  • Professional property management support

  • Designed for both personal use and income generation

    Owners can easily monetize their unit when not in use, creating a dual-income and lifestyle opportunity.

4. Government Push & Infrastructure Development

Igatpuri is part of Maharashtra Tourism Development initiatives, with more focus on eco-tourism, wellness, and hospitality. Upcoming infrastructure includes:

  • Improved internal roadways

  • Upgrades to rail connectivity

  • Growth in cafes, boutique resorts, and retreat centers



Such growth directly fuels real estate value in surrounding areas — particularly projects like Lakefield Apartments, which are positioned close to major landmarks yet remain tucked into nature.

5. Low-Risk, Long-Term Growth

Unlike speculative investments in overcrowded markets, Igatpuri offers stable returns, low entry costs, and less volatility. It's ideal for:

  • Young professionals investing early

  • NRIs looking for long-term vacation homes

  • Retirees seeking peace & passive income

  • HNIs adding to their luxury portfolio
