India's senior living map in 2026
India is finally building senior living communities that match what NRIs and Indian families actually want — independent homes, on-call medical care, community, security, and dignity. Here are the five cities to know in 2026, and one to watch.
1. Bangalore — Tumkur Road (TATA Riva)
India's most mature senior living market. TATA Riva is a ready-to-move-in 1 BHK / 2 BHK community at TATA New Haven — built by Tata Value Homes, designed by Perkins Eastman (US), operated by Manasum. Best for: residents who want a recognised brand and immediate possession.
2. Mysore — Bannur Road (Govardana)
The slower-paced sister to Bangalore. Govardana is by Foundations & Manasum, premium apartments from ₹50.85 Lacs* — calm, walkable city, clean air, hospitals within reach, Bengaluru airport ~3 hours away.
3. Ahmedabad — GIFT City (Atharva)
India's first active senior living inside a global financial hub. Atharva — Tower B @ Siban offers studios to 4 BHK duplex penthouses, with 100+ amenities and a dedicated senior amenities floor — designed for residents aged 50+ who want to keep mentoring, consulting and advising.
4. Chennai — OMR (The Madras Pavilion)
The Madras Pavilion is a 4.5-acre community with 92 villas + 36 apartments by VNCT Global, operated by Manasum. OMR is Chennai's healthcare and IT corridor — close to Apollo, MIOT, Fortis Malar and the airport.

Tirupati's first dedicated senior living community. Mayura by Temple Town & Manasum offers 2 & 3 BHK homes from ₹78 Lacs* — a calm spiritual setting between the airport and the temple town.
One to watch — Goa
A coastal senior living community is on its way — sea air, low-density living, year-round wellness. Join the Goa waitlist to be notified at launch.
