Apartment complexes can also be fun as it is easy to find companions, engage in activities on the premises of the apartment using its various amenities like tennis court, swimming pool, garden for walks, yoga centre, festive celebrations, literary club, board games and more! It is also relatively safe for senior citizenswith many facilities for people with disability.

Neighbourhoods where you can find a peaceful ambience are areas like Hebbal and residential parts of Jayanagar.

Easy Access to Healthcare

While choosing alocality, check if there are good health-care centres and pharmacies nearby. This is not only good for an emergency but also convenient for regular check-ups. Patients with a history of heart problems or other medical emergencies may consider living closer so that it would come in handy during an emergency.
