Jubilee Hills is a posh suburban neighbourhood in west Hyderabad, Telangana. It is one of the most expensive commercial and residential locations in India with prime land prices fetching up to 200,000 (USD 4,000) per square yard. A 6-acre (24,000 m2) tract of land in the city was sold for nearly 3,340,000,000 (USD 66,800,000) in 2005. Rental prices on Road Numbers 36 and 37 range from 100-200 rupees per square foot, among the top commercial rental locales in India.

This suburb is sandwiched between the wealthy commercial district of Banjara Hills and is located within two kilometers of the Hyderbad's IT central hub of HITEC City. The natural terrain is mostly rocky and settlements here are of relatively new construction.

To its south-east is the KBR National Park, the erstwhile Chiran palace, which is one of the largest urban national parks in India covering an area of 1.58 km².

The idea of Jubilee Hills came about in 1963. In 1967 I.A.S officer and Padma Shri award winner, Challagalla Narasimham was asked to become the President and "help proper development of the colony". He was thought to be the best person for officer, since he had planned and developed several colonies in Madras. At that point in time, Jubilee Hills was a hilly terrain without development. Mr. C Narasimham's family happens to be the first family to have built and occupied the house in Jubilee Hills, making them the first residents. By 1980, 350 houses were built in the area which started the subsequent exponential growth of the area.

Jubilee Hills is home to the Telugu Film Industry Hub of Film Nagar and some of its renowned studios such as Ramanaidu Studios, Padmalaya Studios and Annapurna Studios are located here. It is also home to most of the Telugu movie industry's actors, business tycoons, and leading politicians.

Jubilee Hills is the political heart of Hyderabad as well as the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi has recently built a state of the art headquarters here and the honorable Chief Minister KCR resides here. Telugu Desam Party's Headquarters is on the L. V. Prasad Marg in Jubilee Hills and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is also a resident of the area. The Praja Rajyam party (Sold)headquarters was located on Road Number 45 before its merger with the Congress party. Large scale political rallies are witnessed in the area from time to time.
