Battaramulla
The administrative belt — government offices, newer development, and land still to be had.
Battaramulla is the heart of the administrative belt, with government offices and the surrounding development that follows them. It is newer in feel than the inner suburbs, more spread out, and — unusually close to the city — still has genuine land available in pockets like Pelawatte and Koswatte. That makes it a natural choice for buyers who want to build, and for investors watching an area that is still filling in. The trade-off is that some parts are still finding their character; it pays to know which lanes are settled and which are a few years early.
