Is 2025 The Right Time To Invest In Bangalore's Suburban Corridors?
In 2025, Bangalore suburban areas are becoming top choices for people looking to invest in property. These locations—especially in the north, east, and south outskirts—are growing fast thanks to better roads, new metro lines, and big infrastructure upgrades. But this isn't just about cheaper homes. It's about how the city is expanding and creating new job hubs, making these outer zones more self-sufficient than ever before.
Today, prices are still reasonable, and the future looks promising. If you invest now, there's a good chance you'll see strong returns as these areas develop even more.
Suburban corridors are areas on the edges of the city that were once quiet and undeveloped. But now, they're transforming with new roads, industries, and homes.
Here's a quick look at some major suburban belts in 2025:
North Bangalore: Devanahalli, Yelahanka, Hebbal, Bagalur, Shettigere, Doddaballapur
East Bangalore: Sarjapur Road, Varthur, Hoskote
South Bangalore: Kanakapura Road, Electronic City Phase 2, Anekal, Jigani
These areas were once considered far from the city. But today, with better transport and new business zones, they are becoming part of Bangalore's daily life.
The government is investing heavily in making these suburban areas easier to reach:
The Airport Metro Line (Phase 2B) from Silk Board to Kempegowda International Airport is set to open by 2026. It will reduce travel time to northern areas like Hebbal, Yelahanka, and Devanahalli.
The Yellow Line connecting Bommasandra and RV Road will improve access in South Bangalore.
The Purple Line Extension to Whitefield is already helping East Bangalore.
The Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) already has over 100 km open as of March 2025. It links 12 towns like Hoskote, Devanahalli, Anekal, and Kanakapura.
The Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) is still in planning but will further help ease traffic.
Widening of NH-44 (Bellary Road) and Hennur–Bagalur Road is improving access.
The Bangalore–Chennai Expressway will cut travel time to under 4 hours.
A new tunnel road from Hebbal to Silk Board is also planned.
Trains like the Sampige Line (to Devanahalli) and routes to Tumkur are under development. These will offer a low-cost option for daily travel.
Companies like Boeing, Airbus, and Rolls-Royce are part of the KIADB Aerospace Park.
Thousands of skilled jobs are being created here.
This project near the airport includes offices, hotels, and entertainment spaces. Phase 1 will open by 2026.
It's expected to create over 3 lakh jobs by 2030.
New warehouses and factories are coming up in Tumkur Road, Jigani, and Magadi.
Government incentives are helping industries move into these zones.
These large facilities bring in new employment and improve infrastructure in nearby areas.
Suburban areas still offer much better value than the city center. Here's how:
Central Bangalore: ₹11,000–₹13,000 per sq. ft.
North/East/South Suburbs: ₹5,000–₹9,500 per sq. ft.
With the same budget, buyers can get bigger homes, better amenities, and even green surroundings that are rare in central areas.
Prices are already rising in many suburban areas in 2025. Here are some examples:
Kogilu (North Bangalore): 29% appreciation in one year
Devanahalli plots: ₹3,600/sq.ft in 2025 (up from ₹2,800 in 2024)
Hoskote plots: ₹2,800/sq.ft in 2025 (up from ₹2,100 in 2024)
Jigani plots: ₹2,400/sq.ft in 2025 (up from ₹1,800 in 2024)
Yelahanka plots: ₹4,800/sq.ft in 2025 (up from ₹4,000 in 2024)
Central Bangalore: 3.5–4%
Suburbs: 4–5% (North Bangalore: 4.48% in Q3 FY2023)
Builders are also showing strong interest. Godrej, Prestige, Birla, and Mahindra have all launched projects recently, with Mahindra Lifespaces investing ₹1,100 crore in North Bangalore in June 2025.
Here's a simple guide based on your goals:
Your Goal
Best Suburban Area
Ideal Property Type
Long-term investment
North (Devanahalli, Shettigere)
Plots, premium apartments (like Godrej MSR City)
Rental income
East (Sarjapur, Varthur)
2–3 BHK apartments
Budget homes
South outskirts (Anekal, Jigani)
Villas, small plots
Industrial use
Tumkur Rd, Magadi Rd
Warehouses, staff housing
Check RERA number and local approvals
Review the builder's past projects
Look at transport links, schools, and hospitals nearby
Check water supply—some areas still use borewells
While the future is bright, there are some things to keep in mind:
Project delays: Some big projects like the PRR may take longer due to land issues
Water access: Not all areas have Cauvery supply yet
Lack of amenities: Newer areas may not have malls or hospitals right away
Overpricing: Avoid projects that seem overpriced with no clear connectivity or development nearby
Bangalore's suburbs are no longer "far away." In 2025, they are fast becoming the future of the city. With ongoing infrastructure work, growing industries, and homes that still cost less than city properties, this is the ideal time to invest.
Godrej MSR City in Shettigere is a great example of where this trend is going. It offers well-designed homes, modern amenities, and quick access to the airport and metro—all from a trusted developer.
If you're thinking long-term—whether for living or investing—this is the window to make your move. Bangalore's next wave of growth is already here. The only question is: will you be part of it?
