Properties in Begur Road

Trying to stay in south Bangalore without paying Bannerghatta Road prices? This route links Hosur Road with Bannerghatta Road and runs through Begur, an old village with a lake and a temple dating back about a thousand years. The old village core survives among newer apartment blocks. Flats in Begur Road cost less than on either arterial it joins, and less than the eastern tech corridors.

The homes here are all apartments, split between finished buildings and ones still going up. Axis Antara is complete and offers studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units from about Rs. 54.5 Lakhs, a rare low entry point in the south. Krishna Mystiq and Prestige Song Of The South are also finished, though the Prestige project is sold out. Under construction are SNN Raj Serenity Gardens, Suraksha Whispering Waves and Assetz Canvas and Cove Phase 2. Those ongoing projects start between about Rs. 1.33 Crore and Rs. 1.85 Crore and add three- and four-bedroom layouts.

Getting around is the reason many people choose this road. Electronic City is reachable to the south via Hosur Road, and the city centre lies to the north. Bannerghatta Road at the western end brings its hospitals and institutes within easy reach. Because the road serves as a link between two busy arterials, it carries through traffic at peak hours.

Weigh the lower prices against what an older village road can handle. Some stretches are narrow, so visit at rush hour and check how easily you can reach your project's gate. For the ongoing towers, read the RERA registration for the committed possession date, and compare the builder's past handovers. For finished flats, ask for the occupancy certificate, khata and any pending maintenance dues. Ask each project how water is supplied through the dry months, since many southern pockets still lean on tankers. Get the full cost sheet, including parking and club charges, before comparing prices.

For comparison, Electronic City, Singasandra, Gottigere and Kudlu Gate are close by and draw a similar buyer.
