Bheemili, being the second oldest municipality in the country and also once known for its Dutch settlements, realtors said that Bheemili and a few villages neighbouring it are located in an ideal location as they have the beach to one side and the national highway to the other.

Madhurawada has already gained prominence as a residential and educational hub in Vizag, India's port city, over the last five years.
