Properties in Old Airport Road

For buyers who want an established east Bangalore address close to the centre, this corridor is near the top of the list. Apartments in Old Airport Road line a main artery that starts at Domlur and runs past the former HAL airport towards Marathahalli. Until 2008 it was the road to the city's airport. You are close to Indiranagar, to the offices at Embassy Golf Links and to the Outer Ring Road.

What gets built here is premium, because land is scarce. Embassy Grove is a completed project of 106 four-bedroom duplex and triplex homes on about 7.93 acres, finished in March 2023 and listed from about Rs. 8.57 Cr. Prestige Leela Residences offers 88 four-bedroom homes on about 3 acres, completed from May 2020 onwards, with a listed price of about Rs. 8 Cr. Both are finished buildings, so you would be buying remaining developer stock or a resale. Starting prices run from about Rs. 8 Cr to Rs. 8.57 Cr.

Getting around is the strength of this address. Domlur and Indiranagar lie at the city end, so the centre is a short drive away. Heading the other way, the road continues east towards Marathahalli, where it meets the Outer Ring Road and the tech parks along it.

At this price, careful paperwork matters more than usual. Ask for the occupancy certificate and confirm whether the home is unsold developer stock or a resale. For a resale, check the title chain, any loan on the property and the transfer charges the association levies. Get the monthly maintenance figure in writing, since large homes with extensive facilities carry high running costs. Traffic on this artery is heavy, so check how long the drive to your office takes at peak hours. Look at noise levels in units facing the main road.

To compare, consider Indiranagar, CV Raman Nagar, Yemalur and Brookefield, where you may find more choice of size and price in the same part of the city.
