Keya Life by the Lake is a completed low-rise apartment project by Keya Homes next to Jakkur Lake in North Bangalore. It is a small community of large 4 and 5 BHK duplex homes and penthouses, and it has held its occupancy certificate since May 2022.

Location and Connectivity
Keya Life by the Lake is located on Jakkur Road at Nehru Nagar, beside Jakkur Lake, in Jakkur. The neighbourhood is on the eastern side of NH 44 (Bellary Road), between Hebbal and Yelahanka. Manyata Tech Park is to the south, towards Hebbal, and Kempegowda International Airport is to the north by Bellary Road.
Bellary Road is the main route to Hebbal, the Outer Ring Road and the airport. The Blue Line of Namma Metro is under construction along this road, with a station planned at Jakkur Cross. Jakkur Lake has a walking path around it, which residents use for morning and evening walks.
Schools, hospitals and daily shopping are spread across Jakkur, Sahakara Nagar and Yelahanka, a short drive away. A visit at school and office hours shows how the approach road from Bellary Road behaves.
Homes and Sizes
The project is planned almost entirely as large duplex homes, with garden homes on the lower levels and terrace homes and penthouses above. Most are 4 BHK homes, and a small number are 5 BHK. The registered carpet areas are shown below:
| Home type | Carpet area (sq ft) | Car parks per home |
|---|---|---|
| 4 BHK | About 2,065 to 2,795 | 3 or 4 |
| 5 BHK | About 2,895 to 2,995 | 4 |
Saleable areas are much larger than the carpet areas, since each home adds a private garden or terrace. The 4 BHK upper duplex homes now on sale measure 4,450 to 4,490 sq ft of saleable area. The basement holds 185 parking spaces for the 52 homes.
The undivided share of land is high for an apartment project because only four floors are built on 2.6 acres. The registered share ranges from about 1,560 sq ft to about 2,600 sq ft of land per home. That is an advantage at resale and in any future redevelopment.
Prices in October 2026
Keya Life by the Lake price starts at Rs. 5.30 Crore, plus registration, for a 4 BHK upper duplex of 4,450 to 4,490 sq ft. The price per sq ft is about Rs. 11,800 to Rs. 11,900 on saleable area. Most homes are already occupied, and resale homes are priced by each owner.
Registration costs are a large sum at this price. Stamp duty at 5.6% and the registration fee at 2% add about Rs. 40 Lakhs on a Rs. 5.30 Crore home. Our EMI calculator shows the monthly outgo and the upfront cash for any price and loan amount.
Amenities
Amenities at Keya Life by the Lake are housed in a clubhouse within the campus. The main facilities are listed below:
- A temperature-controlled swimming pool and a jacuzzi
- An indoor gym, a spa and a wellness area
- Badminton and squash courts
- A games room and a movie room
- A children's play park
With 52 homes sharing the clubhouse, the facilities are lightly used compared with a large township. The other side of that is cost. A small community divides the staff, security and upkeep bills among fewer owners, so the monthly maintenance per home is higher.
RERA and Legal Status
Keya Life by the Lake RERA registration number is PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/210119/003787, in the name of Keya Homes Pvt Ltd. Construction began in April 2016 and the registered completion date was 30 June 2022. The occupancy certificate is dated 19 May 2022, and more than 40 families live in the project.
The number can be checked on the Karnataka RERA portal by searching for Life By The Lake. The portal carries the occupancy certificate, the sanctioned floor plans and the unit list with each home's carpet area, land share and parking. As of October 2026 the portal shows no complaints filed against this project.
Who the Project Suits
The project suits a family that wants the space of a villa with the security and upkeep of an apartment community. It works well for buyers with offices at Manyata Tech Park or Hebbal and for frequent flyers. The private gardens and terraces suit households with children, pets or elderly parents.
Buyers who want a large township with many sports facilities, or a home under Rs. 5 Crore, will find better matches among other projects in North Bangalore. A duplex layout also means internal stairs, which matters for residents with limited mobility.
Checks Before Buying
A completed project allows every claim to be checked on site and on paper:
- Read the occupancy certificate and match the home number and floor with the sanctioned plan
- Match the carpet area, land share and car parks in the sale deed with the unit list on the RERA portal
- Confirm the e-khata for the home and the latest property tax receipt
- Ask the association for the monthly maintenance charge, the corpus fund balance and any dues on the home
- Check the water sources, the sewage treatment plant and the power backup load per home
- Inspect the terrace and garden slabs for damp, which is the common fault in duplex and penthouse homes
- In a resale, ask for the seller's sale deed, the loan closure letter and an encumbrance certificate up to date
The project is beside a lake, so the drainage on the approach road during heavy rain is worth asking residents about. Ask the developer for current availability and prices, and visit the site before deciding.
