Elgin, Kolkata

Elgin is one of Kolkata’s most upscale and culturally vibrant neighborhoods, nestled in the southern part of the city within the Bhowanipore area, bordered by Sarat Bose Road and Lansdowne Road (now Sarat Bose Road). Known for its elegant, tree-lined streets—especially around Minto Park—the locality offers a charming blend of colonial architecture and modern city life. Elgin Road commands a 4.6/5 locality rating on property platforms, reflecting its strong demand among both families and professionals. With premium residential and mixed-use developments, it remains one of the most sought-after enclaves in south Kolkata. Home to The Elgin Fairlawn (originally the Fairlawn Hotel), housed in a 1783-built colonial bungalow, this iconic heritage property continues to exude old-world elegance with arched windows, verandahs, and timeless interiors.
