Shettigere, located in North Bangalore, is no longer just known for its closeness to the airport. It's slowly becoming one of the city's well-connected areas, with better roads, upcoming metro access, and smoother travel options. As infrastructure improves, projects like Godrej MSR City are gaining attention from homebuyers and investors who want peaceful living with easy access to the heart of Bangalore.

1. Road Connectivity: Strong, But Still Improving

Shettigere sits right next to National Highway 44 (NH-44), also called Bellary Road. This is the main road that links the area to Hebbal, which acts as the entry point to central Bangalore.

1. To Hebbal: The drive takes about 30 to 45 minutes when traffic is light. But during peak hours, it can take over an hour, especially near the Hebbal flyover.
2. To MG Road or Central Bangalore: It usually takes 50 to 70 minutes, but in the evening or morning rush, this can stretch to 1.5 to 2 hours.

The road itself is wide (six lanes) and mostly smooth outside busy hours. There's also State Highway 104 (SH-104) nearby. It's not the main route to the city center, but it helps connect Shettigere to other parts like Devanahalli. Plus, Shettigere enjoys good access through the airport road system, including the trumpet interchange, which helps vehicles join the highway more easily.

2. Metro Connectivity: Coming Soon and Very Important

The big change for Shettigere will come from the Namma Metro Blue Line (Phase 2B). This upcoming line will connect KR Puram to Kempegowda International Airport, with stations close to Shettigere.

1. Nearest Stations: Airport Terminal, Airport City, and possibly Doddajala – all just 2 to 5 km away.
2. Expected Opening: Some sections may open in late 2026, with full operations likely by early 2027.
3. Commute Time (once metro is active):
1. Shettigere to KR Puram: Around 20–30 minutes
2. Shettigere to MG Road (with interchanges): About 45–60 minutes

For those living in Godrej MSR City, this metro access will make daily travel to tech parks and city areas much easier. Over time, properties close to metro stations usually see faster price growth and higher rental demand.

3. Ring Roads: More Routes, Less City Traffic

Two major ring roads are also being built or expanded to help reduce traffic and link Shettigere to other zones.

A. Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR):

1. This 288 km road circles around Bangalore to connect smaller towns and ease heavy traffic inside the city.
2. The first stretch (from Dobbaspet to Hoskote via Devanahalli) opened in March 2024.
3. Full work is expected to finish by 2027.
4. How it helps Shettigere: STRR connects areas like Devanahalli, which is near Shettigere. It allows faster travel to industrial hubs and avoids central city jams.

B. Peripheral Ring Road (PRR):

1. This is a planned 74 km expressway linking Tumakuru Road to Hosur Road.
2. It's meant to give another way around Bangalore, easing traffic on the Outer Ring Road.
3. As of mid-2025, land issues are causing delays. It may take until 2027 or later to be ready.
4. For Shettigere: It won't directly link the area, but a fully working PRR will lower traffic all around the city, including on Bellary Road.

4. Public Transport: Options Exist, But Need Growth
BMTC Buses:

1. Regular BMTC buses serve Shettigere, connecting it to Hebbal, Yelahanka, and the Majestic bus stand.
2. However, bus frequency is low, and rides to central Bangalore can take up to 2 hours, especially in traffic.

Cabs and Auto-Rickshaws:

1. Ola, Uber, and local autos are available for quicker travel.
2. These are handy for airport trips or reaching nearby metro stations but may cost more than public transport.

5. Why It All Matters: Life, Travel, and Investment

The big story here is that Shettigere is no longer just for people working near the airport. With better connectivity on the way—especially the metro—commuting to places like Whitefield, Manyata Tech Park, or MG Road will get much easier.

For Residents:

1. Less travel stress means more time for family and personal life.
2. Metro and road growth will make daily travel more predictable and less tiring.

For Investors:

1. Property prices in Shettigere are still lower than metro-connected areas, which gives a good entry point.
2. As metro and ring roads complete, property values and rents are likely to rise.
3. Godrej MSR City, located in this well-planned area, gives a strong balance of peaceful living and good city access. The project is future-ready and backed by the trusted Godrej brand.

Conclusion: Shettigere Is Quiet Today, But Connected Tomorrow

In 2025, Shettigere is clearly on the move. It still feels calm and open, but with highways, metro stations, and regional roads being added, it won't stay out of the spotlight for long. The area is getting ready to offer city-like access—without the city rush. If you want to live or invest in a place with strong future value, Godrej MSR City in Shettigere could be a smart place to start.
