Properties in Old Madras Road

Buyers who want a straight run into central Bangalore from the east often end up comparing flats in Old Madras Road. The highway towards Chennai heads out past Indiranagar, crosses KR Puram and continues to Budigere and Hoskote. Its inner stretches were built up decades ago. Further out, larger parcels are still available and cost far less than land in the inner east.

Every project we track on this road is an apartment building, and most offer a three-bedroom plan. Listed starting prices run from about Rs. 46.5 Lakhs at the completed Sowparnika Purple Rose to about Rs. 6.8 Cr at Salarpuria Sattva Magnificia, which includes duplexes and penthouses. Brigade Group has the biggest presence. Brigade Lakecrest offers studios up to three-bedroom homes from about Rs. 59 Lakhs, with possession from March 2030. Brigade Citrine lists one- to four-bedroom plans from about Rs. 82 Lakhs. Concorde Eleve, from about Rs. 2.22 Cr, suits buyers looking at larger three- and four-bedroom homes.

Directness is the corridor's advantage. You can drive in a straight line to the city centre, and for long sections the Purple Line metro runs beside the road. The outer stretches towards Budigere and Hoskote are further out but still on the same line of travel.

Where you buy along the road matters a great deal. Inner stretches cost more and have less land, while outer ones offer larger projects but longer trips. For the new launches, confirm the RERA registration and weigh possession dates of 2029 and 2030 against your plans. For completed homes, ask for the occupancy certificate and current maintenance charges. Traffic around KR Puram is a known bottleneck, so test your commute at peak hours. Check the distance from your block to the nearest metro station yourself rather than relying on brochures. Walk the route once so you know what the daily trip is like.

Nearby areas worth comparing are KR Puram, Hoodi, Mahadevapura and CV Raman Nagar.
