Why Bannerghatta Road is South Bangalore's Address of Choice
Bannerghatta Road, often called BG Road, is a 32 km arterial road that connects key areas of the city, running from central Bangalore through JP Nagar, Arekere, Kothnur and down to Bannerghatta town. It is officially known as State Highway 87, and it connects Bengaluru with the towns of Bannerghatta, Jigani, and Anekal, extending for 45 kilometres. Over the last two decades, this stretch has grown from a quiet highway into one of South Bangalore's most established residential and commercial belts.
The locality is home to landmark institutions such as IIM Bangalore, and it enjoys direct connectivity to NICE Ring Road and SH-87, with 2 & 3 BHKs being popular flat configurations in this belt. Residents rate the area highly for day-to-day convenience, and it lies near Lakkasandra Extension, Lakkasandra and Wilson Garden, with 20,000+ properties to buy and 1,000+ properties to rent.
On pricing, average property rates per square foot in Bannerghatta Road for flats stood around Rs 9,650 per sq ft, though premium societies command more. In fact, some of the top premium housing societies in the area include Prestige Elysian at around Rs 18,100 per sq ft, Sattva Aqua Vista at Rs 13,000 per sq ft and Keya Spring at Rs 12,000 per sq ft. Appreciation has been strong too, with flat rates changing by 47.3% in the last 1 year and 89.2% over the last 5 years.
Mahindra Lifespaces has built a strong presence here through Mahindra Windchimes, a resort-style residential project on Bannerghatta Road set along the panoramic view of two pristine lakes, and its follow-up phase. Both developments sit close to the Honeywell campus and within a short drive of the IIM-B junction, giving residents easy access to the road's IT corridor, hospitals and retail hubs.
