Telaprolu is a village in Unguturu mandal, east of Vijayawada near Gannavaram, where Vijayawada's airport sits. Surrounded by farmland, it is part of the green, agricultural belt of Krishna district, yet the highway brings it within about half an hour of the city. Over the past decade, developers have built gated communities here for people who want space and fresh air at a fraction of city prices, including one designed specifically for retired people. That is why families now search for senior living in Telaprolu.
Elkin lists one verified retirement community in Telaprolu. Our advisors can arrange a visit, explain the ownership and deposit options, and help you compare it with care homes in the city.
Brundavanam Advaitha Resort Living Retirement Homes
Brundavanam Advaitha Resort Living Retirement Homes is developed by Sri Sai Durga Housing Estates, a Krishna district real estate company. It is a gated, resort-style community with RERA and CRDA approvals, built in phases, with apartment towers offering studio, one bedroom and two bedroom flats. The developer markets it as retirement homes for NRI parents, and also welcomes younger buyers, so it is a mixed-age community rather than a seniors-only one.
The listing describes independent living with services that make daily life easier for older residents: a community kitchen, housekeeping, an ambulance service, emergency response with panic buttons, medical care, help with personal hygiene, emotional and social support and wheelchair-friendly design. The developer also mentions assisted living, where medical care, personal needs and cooking are taken care of. Residents share a swimming pool, a clubhouse and landscaped gardens, homes are furnished, and the community is pet friendly. Ready-to-occupy flats have been offered, and bank loans are available.
This community suits active, independent seniors and couples who want their own flat in a green setting with services on hand, and NRI families who want a secure home for parents near the airport. Before committing, read the agreement carefully: how ownership or any lifetime-stay deposit works, what the monthly service charge covers, and what happens if your parent later needs nursing care that the community cannot provide.
It also helps to spend a day there. Eat in the community kitchen, walk the grounds in the afternoon heat, and talk to a few residents about how they find life so far from the city. Ask how often a doctor visits, whether there is a nurse on site at night, and how residents get to the shops, bank and temple if they no longer drive.
Life in Telaprolu: what to expect
- Near the airport. Vijayawada airport at Gannavaram is close by, ideal for children flying in from Hyderabad, Bengaluru or abroad.
- Green and peaceful. Farmland surrounds the village, the air is cleaner than in the city and nights are quiet.
- Hospitals. Clinics serve Gannavaram, while the large private hospitals and the Government General Hospital in Vijayawada are about 30 to 45 minutes away. Ask how the community's ambulance service works.
- Road access. The highway links Telaprolu to Vijayawada in one direction and Eluru in the other.
Costs for retirement living in Telaprolu
Retirement communities on Vijayawada's outskirts are bought or secured with a large deposit, rather than rented month to month. As an approximate guide, flats in such communities cost roughly ₹10 lakh for a studio to about ₹50 lakh for a two-bedroom flat, and some projects offer a lifetime-stay deposit instead of a purchase. On top of that, expect monthly charges for maintenance, meals and services. Prices change with each phase, so ask the developer for a current cost sheet and RERA details. Our guide on lease versus ownership in senior living explains the trade-offs.
