Location guide
North Bangalore, explained
5 November 2026 · 4 min read
What we mean by North Bangalore
Everything from RT Nagar and Hebbal out along Bellary Road towards the airport: Sahakaranagar, Jakkur, Yelahanka, and across to Nagavara, Thanisandra and Hennur.
Kempegowda International Airport sits at the far end. Much of the area’s growth has followed the road out to it.
Why people choose it
Two big pulls: the airport and Manyata Tech Park near Nagavara, one of the city’s largest office campuses. Both bring jobs, and with them steady demand for homes.
Closer to the city, RT Nagar, Sahakaranagar and Hebbal are long settled. Further out, Thanisandra, Hennur and Yelahanka have more new apartments and larger plots, and the land gets more open beyond them.
How it connects
The north is organised around a few big roads, so where a home sits relative to them matters.
- Bellary Road and NH-44: the main run from Hebbal to the airport, elevated for much of the way.
- Hebbal junction: where Bellary Road meets the Outer Ring Road. It links the north to the east and west of the city, and gets very busy at peak hours.
- Metro: the airport line is being built through Hebbal, and the Pink Line is being built to Nagawara. Check the current status before you rely on either.
- Yelahanka railway station serves the north directly.

Buyers who want to stay close to the centre
Buying, selling or renting here
- Buying: decide how much the airport and Manyata matter to you. They pull in different directions, and the right micro-market follows from that.
- Selling: newer supply further out competes with resale, so positioning matters. We help you show what an established address offers.
- Renting: demand around Manyata Tech Park is steady, so commute time to the campus usually drives rents.
- Commercial and land: larger parcels further out need title, conversion and approvals checked first.
What to check before you commit
- The khata. Know whether the property has an A or a B khata and what that means for loans and resale.
- RERA registration for new projects, on the Karnataka RERA portal.
- Water supply. Ask whether the building relies on Cauvery water, borewells or tankers.
- The commute at peak hours. Do the drive yourself rather than trusting a map at midnight.
- The real walk to the metro, not the straight-line distance in the brochure.
