Hazratganj, the heart of Lucknow, remains one of the iconic zones in the city. This area also serves as the traditional, commercial and administrative centre where residential supply is limited, making it an expensive deal. In 2026, residential options here offer older apartments and or redeveloped independent properties. While new supply is less, demand is always high. From a real-estate perspective, Hazratganj is more of a capital preservation zone.
