Kengeri is one of the fastest-growing satellite townships in Bangalore. The Kengeri real estate market has boomed in the past few years thanks to the development of infrastructure and the setting up of the Global Tech Village, which was the first tech park this side of Bangalore.
Once known as a centre for sericulture during the 19th century, Kengeri underwent active development during the 1990s. Although situated away from the city centre, Kengeri was a well-laid out, sleepy suburb that offered its residents good amenities, and a pollution and noise-free environment with beautiful lakes forming its boundaries.
Today, it’s a bustling micro-market, much sought-after by property investors and homebuyers. Here are a few reasons why Kengeri is increasingly appearing on investors’ radars.
Connectivity
Kengeri is exceptionally well-connected to the rest of Bangalore via NICE Road, Outer Ring Road, and Mysore road. It is located 15 kilometres away from Bangalore city, and the Kengeri railway station connects commuters to Bangalore City Junction.
The Mysore road extension of the metro line from Nayandahalli to Pattanagere, although yet to be completed, is already attracting more buyers with the promise of faster connectivity.
Social infrastructure and amenities
Kengeri’s biggest attraction is its proximity to employment hubs like the Global Village tech park, KIADB Industrial Area, and the Wipro Corporate Office, which are located within a 20-kilometre radius. Bagmane Tech Park, Electronic City, and Koramangala are between 25 to 35 kilometres away but can be easily reached via NICE Road and Outer Ring Road.
Kengeri has reputed educational institutions within easy reach like Bangalore University, RV College of Engineering, and Rajarajeshwari Medical College, among others. The area also has excellent schools like Kengeri High School and Vishwa Venkateshwara International School. Facilities for healthcare include noted hospitals like BGS Hospital, PM Santosha Hospital, and Adarsh Multi-specialty Hospital.
