Citrus Ventures

Citrus Ventures is a Bengaluru developer of small villa communities in the north of the city. The firm traces its start to 2011. Both of its projects on our site are finished: Citrus Polaris on Hennur Road and Citrus Zen Garden at Jakkur.

The two communities

Citrus Polaris, Hennur Road

Polaris was handed over in December 2018. It sits on about 3 acres and offers 4 BHK villas, listed from Rs. 1.71 Cr. Hennur Road gives quick access to the Outer Ring Road and Manyata Tech Park, and a back route north towards the airport.

Citrus Zen Garden, Jakkur

Zen Garden followed in December 2019 on about 2.25 acres. Its homes are 3 BHK villas, listed from Rs. 1.23 Cr. Jakkur lies just off Bellary Road near Yelahanka, known for its lake and the small aerodrome, and is a short drive from Hebbal.

Why a small villa community

Both layouts are compact. You get an independent house with your own entrance and terrace, without the crowds of a large township. The trade-off is fewer shared facilities and a smaller pool of owners to split the cost of security, roads and the boundary wall. Ask the association what it maintains and how much it collects each month.

Buying a finished villa here

With both projects complete, most homes on sale will be resales. Your risk is no longer delay but title and condition.

• See the occupancy certificate and the chain of sale deeds for the villa.
• Check the khata and property tax receipts are in the seller's name.
• Ask for a no-dues letter from the owners' association.
• Inspect in daylight: roof terrace, seepage near bathrooms, drainage and the borewell or water supply.
• Ask neighbours how the builder dealt with repairs after handover.

The prices on the cards are from our records and may not match what owners ask today. Compare with recent sales inside the same community before you make an offer.

These villas suit a family that wants its own house in north Bangalore now, and prefers a quiet lane to a busy tower complex.
