Bashundhara Residential Area is the largest planned residential development inside Dhaka, and it is the reason most buyers looking for a family apartment start here rather than in the older parts of the city. The blocks were laid out on a grid, the roads are wide by Dhaka standards, and utilities were planned in rather than retrofitted. For a buyer, that translates into something concrete: a flat here is far less likely to be sitting on a lane a fire engine cannot enter, which is a real consideration and one that rarely appears in a listing.

Sizes here run larger than in Dhanmondi or Banani. A three bedroom apartment in Bashundhara commonly falls between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet, and four bedroom layouts of 2,500 to 3,000 square feet are ordinary rather than exceptional. That is partly plot economics — land parcels are bigger and more regular — and partly who buys here: families moving out of smaller central flats, and people who want a second living space or a maid’s room without paying Gulshan prices for it. If you are comparing on price per square foot alone, Bashundhara will usually look better value than anywhere inside the diplomatic zone, and the honest caveat is that you are further from the offices most people commute to.

Connectivity is the trade-off worth thinking about carefully. The 300 Feet Expressway put Purbachal and the eastern side of the city within a genuinely short drive, and Kuril Bishwa Road connects the area to the airport road in minutes outside peak hours. Inside peak hours, the Kuril interchange is the constraint, and a block near the Kuril end of the area behaves very differently at half past eight in the morning from one deep inside Block M. Ask which block a project sits in, then look at how it reaches the main road, not just how far away the main road is.

The schools are a large part of why families choose Bashundhara and stay: several established English medium schools operate inside the area, and Independent University and North South University are both here, which sustains a rental market as well as an owner-occupier one. Apollo — now Evercare — is a short drive, and day to day retail is scattered through the blocks rather than concentrated in one market, so most needs are within walking distance of most blocks.

Before committing to any apartment here, ask for four things in writing. First, the RAJUK approval and whether the built floors match it, because a building with an extra floor beyond approval is a problem you inherit. Second, the road width in front of the building, which governs both what can legally be built and what the flat will be worth to the next buyer. Third, the parking allocation per unit, stated per apartment rather than as a building total. Fourth, the handover month and what happens if it slips. A developer who answers all four plainly and in writing is telling you something useful about how the rest of the project will go.

Buying in Bashundhara

The questions people ask before they start looking. If yours is not here, ask us.

What does an apartment in Bashundhara R/A typically cost?

Most family apartments in Bashundhara trade between 9,500 and 13,000 BDT per square foot, with wider road frontage and corner plots at the top of that band. Those are market figures for the area rather than our own prices — we share the price of a specific apartment when you ask for it, so you get a current number for the actual unit rather than a range that may be months out of date.

Which blocks in Bashundhara are best for a family apartment?

It depends more on what you value than on the block letter. Blocks nearer the Kuril end reach the main road fastest but carry more through traffic; the inner blocks are quieter and add ten to fifteen minutes at peak hours. Blocks close to the schools hold their value well because there is always demand from families who want a short school run.

How long does it take to reach Gulshan or the airport from Bashundhara?

Outside peak hours, Gulshan is roughly twenty minutes and the airport about fifteen. At peak, both can double, and the constraint is almost always the Kuril interchange rather than the distance. If your commute is fixed, it is worth driving the route once at the hour you would actually travel.

Is Bashundhara R/A a good area to buy in rather than rent?

For a family planning to stay, generally yes: the area is planned rather than organically grown, so road widths, utilities and drainage are more consistent than in older neighbourhoods, and the universities and schools sustain demand. The main risk to check on any specific building is whether the construction matches its RAJUK approval.

What should I check before buying an apartment in Bashundhara?

Four things, all in writing: the RAJUK approval and whether the built floors match it, the road width in front of the building, the parking allocation stated per apartment, and the handover month with what happens if it slips. Every specification we publish includes the road width and parking per unit for exactly this reason.
