Shahibaug:- A Multifaceted Neighbourhood in Ahmedabad

Shahibaug, nestled in Ahmedabad's central zone, is a dynamic urban locale boasting a mix of history and modernity. Home to educational institutions like BJ Medical College, Kendriya Vidyalayas, and cultural treasures such as the Calico Museum of Textiles and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Memorial, it offers a rich tapestry of heritage and contemporary life. The area showcases varied real estate trends, featuring a blend of residential and mixed land use, witnessing increased demand for flats due to accessibility and reasonable land costs. With higher FSI and a population density of 253 per hectare, Shahibaug leans towards residential land use, though public spaces remain limited. Active sub-arterial streets serve as bustling public domains. Despite a majority of retail jobs and male-dominated work environments, the area presents affordable living with 73% property ownership, although 27% reside in rented homes. Private vehicle usage prevails due to high incomes, while public transport sees minimal use. Vehicle ownership stats show 48% with 2-wheelers and 33% with 4-wheelers, reflecting a comfortable lifestyle and good affordability in this vibrant Ahmedabad neighbourhood.
