Hyderabad: Homes in Hyderabad have become bigger, with the average flat size in the city crossing 2,600 square feet in 2025.

According to a latest report by real estate consulting firm Anarock, developers across major urban markets have been steadily introducing bigger apartments over the past six years in response to sustained demand for spacious living.

Demand shifts toward larger homes

Industry trends indicate that 3-BHK and 4-BHK apartments are becoming common in leading cities. There is also a demand for homes and flats with additional study rooms in Hyderabad and other cities.

According to the chairman of Anarock, Anuj Puri, demand for such units remains strong despite higher prices.
