The connectivity of the region is excellent, which can be clearly seen on the maps. These are:

Roads

East Bangalore is mainly served by ORR, which links to top areas like Whitefield, Marathahalli, SH-35, etc. The road network is good, offering smooth connectivity. Other key roads are Old Madras Road (NH 75) and Sarjapur Road. Big new road projects are coming up to improve travel.

The Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) is being built to shift highway traffic away from the city. The Bengaluru Business Corridor (earlier called Peripheral Ring Road/PRR) is also being pushed forward. It will help reduce traffic on busy roads and link many parts of the city.

Metro

The Namma Metro Purple Line mainly connects East Bangalore. Its extension to Whitefield (Kadugodi) has made travel easier to the IT belt. More metro lines are coming soon. The Blue Line is under construction and will run along ORR from Central Silk Board to KR Puram and then to the Airport.

Railway

East Bangalore has key suburban railway stations. KR Puram is a major rail junction. Baiyyappanahalli station is also important, with the Baiyyappanahalli Terminal serving long-distance trains. These stations connect East Bangalore with other parts of Bengaluru and major cities. The Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP) is also coming up and will give even better railway connectivity across East Bangalore.

Bus

BMTC buses are a major transport option here. They are used daily by many people for travel. Important bus points include the KR Puram Bus Stand and the Kadugodi Bus Stand. They provide regular buses to the Central Business District and other areas. Buses also help with last-mile travel in places where the Metro is still not fully available.

Real Estate Market of East Bangalore

East Bangalore’s property market has grown fast in recent years. This growth is mainly because of the expanding IT sector and increasing education hubs. Many new residential and commercial projects in prime areas have attracted many buyers.

These localities have increased demand for homes from top builders like Prestige, Sobha, and Brigade. Property prices in East Bangalore range from Rs. 5500 to Rs. 18,000 per sq. ft., based on location and features. Apartments are the most preferred choice for both buying and renting. Rental homes are also highly in demand in this area.

One of the top housing ventures, Prestige Eaton Park, was launched in the prime locale of East Bangalore, Sarjapur. The site is a premium Prestige Group project offering spectacular 3 and 4.5 BHK flats. These are the best choices to live and invest in for future gains.

Recent News about East Bangalore

• Blue Line Metro Update: The ORR–Airport Metro Line (Blue Line) has reached 52.5% construction progress.

This shows strong progress on the project.
• Big Road and Metro Plans Approved: The state government has moved forward with two major projects — an upgrade of the Outer Ring Road (ORR) into a 10-lane road with a Bus Priority Lane (BPL), and the approval of the Sarjapur–Hebbal Red Line. The Red Line Metro will connect East Bangalore’s tech hubs with the city centre and North Bangalore.

FAQs

1. Which areas are in East Bangalore?

It covers the major tech belts: Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, Marathahalli, Bellandur, and Varthur. Basically, if you are looking at the IT corridor from the Outer Ring Road up to Hoskote, that is East Bangalore.

2. Why is everyone investing here?

Simple: Jobs. This zone has the highest concentration of IT parks (like ITPL and Ecoworld) in the city. Where there are jobs, there is demand for housing. That keeps property values and rental income climbing steadily.

3. Is the Metro running in East Bangalore?

Yes. The Purple Line is fully active now. It connects Whitefield (Kadugodi) all the way to Majestic and the west side of the city. It has been a game-changer for skipping road traffic.

4. How far is the airport?

It is a bit of a drive. Expect to spend 60 to 90 minutes getting to Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), depending on whether you take the Outer Ring Road or the quieter Budigere Cross route.

5. What does a flat cost here?

For a quality project by a top-tier builder, you are looking at ₹9,500 to ₹12,000 per sq. ft. in late 2025. You can find cheaper options, but they often lack the amenities or location advantage of a project like Eaton Park.

6. Is it a good place for families?

Definitely. The social infrastructure is sorted. You have massive malls like Phoenix Marketcity and Nexus Shantiniketan, plus top-rated schools like TISB and Greenwood High just a short bus ride away.

7. How is the water situation?

It used to be purely borewell-dependent, but things are changing. The Cauvery Stage V project has started supplying river water to many of these neighborhoods, making the water supply much more reliable than it was a few years ago.

8. Where are the main offices located?

The big ones are ITPL in Whitefield, Embassy Tech Village on the Ring Road, and RGA Tech Park on Sarjapur Road. Most residents here work in one of these three hubs.

9. How much rent can I earn?

The rental market is hot. A furnished 2 BHK in a good society easily rents for ₹35,000 to ₹45,000. If you are near a tech park, tenants are often willing to pay a premium to cut their commute.

10. Is the traffic as bad as they say?

The main junctions (like Silk Board or Marathahalli) do get jammed during rush hour. That is why most people choose large townships like Prestige Eaton Park—you get everything inside the gates, so you don't have to step out into traffic for daily needs.
