Where to Live Near Tech Parks in Bangalore

By the Valuepersqft advisory team · 11 Nov 2026

In Bangalore, the question “where should we buy?” usually starts with another one: “where do you work?” The city’s traffic means a 12 km commute can take 20 minutes or 90, so most of the families we advise shortlist neighbourhoods around their office first and then compare projects. This guide explains where to live near each of the main tech parks in Bangalore.

• Start with where you work: Manyata, the Outer Ring Road, Whitefield or Electronic City.
• Each tech park has two or three neighbourhoods within a short drive, from established to new.
• The Purple and Yellow metro lines already help; the Pink and Blue lines are still being built.
• Buy on today's commute and treat future metro lines as a bonus.

Bangalore’s office market is spread across four main clusters. Here is how each one works, the neighbourhoods that sit closest to it, and the homes we currently track nearby.

1. Manyata Tech Park and the North

Manyata Embassy Business Park on the Outer Ring Road at Nagawara is one of the largest office campuses in India, home to big names in technology, banking and consulting. Kirloskar Business Park and the offices around Hebbal add to the pull, and the airport is a straight run up the highway.

Where people live: Thanisandra and Rachenahalli are right behind Manyata, so many residents can reach work in 10 to 15 minutes. Hennur is a little further east with more villa and plotted options, while Yelahanka and Devanahalli suit people who also travel often from the airport.

Homes we track nearby: Lodha Mirabelle and Purva Atmosphere in Thanisandra, Prestige Camden Gardens, TVS Emerald Isle of Trees in Rachenahalli, and villas such as Sattva La Vita and Radiance Floresta on Hennur Road. See all of them on our North Bangalore page.

2. The Outer Ring Road belt: Ecoworld, Embassy Tech Village and Bagmane

The stretch of the Outer Ring Road between Sarjapur Road and Marathahalli holds the city’s densest run of offices. RMZ Ecoworld at Bellandur, Embassy Tech Village at Devarabisanahalli, Prestige Tech Park at Kadubeesanahalli and Bagmane’s campuses towards Mahadevapura together employ hundreds of thousands of people. RGA Tech Park and Wipro’s corporate office sit a short way down Sarjapur Road.

Where people live: Sarjapur Road is the first choice for many, with both apartments and gated villas. Panathur, Varthur and Gunjur sit just behind the ORR and keep commutes short.

Homes we track nearby: Sobha Neopolis in Panathur, Godrej Lakeside Orchard, Birla Evara and Prestige Eaton Park on Sarjapur Road, and Brigade Sanctuary towards Varthur. If you want a villa here, read our guide to villas on Sarjapur Road.

3. ITPL and Whitefield

International Tech Park Bangalore (ITPL) started Whitefield’s journey from a quiet suburb to a full city district. Today the area also includes EPIP Zone, Brigade Tech Gardens and many smaller campuses. The Purple Line metro now reaches Whitefield (Kadugodi), which has made the area easier to reach from the centre.

Where people live: Whitefield itself has the widest choice of premium apartments and villas in the east. Families who want more space often look at Varthur or along Old Madras Road.

Homes we track nearby: Prestige Somerville, Prestige Pine Forest, Brigade Avalon, Assetz 66 Shibui, and villa communities such as Prestige White Meadows and NVT Oikos Villas.

4. Electronic City and Hosur Road

Electronic City, with its two phases on Hosur Road, is one of Bangalore’s oldest IT hubs and still home to large campuses such as Infosys. The elevated expressway over Hosur Road and the Yellow Line metro have made the trip into the city far more predictable than it used to be.

Where people live: Electronic City itself, Hosa Road, Chandapura and Bommasandra. Chandapura in particular has a good number of gated villa communities.

Homes we track nearby: ARATT Ayatana Residences, Prestige Suncrest, Lodha Haven on Hosa Road, and villas such as Concorde Abode 99 in Chandapura. See more on our South Bangalore page.

Also worth knowing: the west and the centre

Not every big employer sits in the four clusters above. Global Village Tech Park on Mysore Road, near Kengeri and RR Nagar, is a large campus in the south-west, and families working there often look at Mysore Road, RR Nagar and Kanakapura Road, where we track communities such as Birla Advaya, Provident Sunworth City and the Sattva Springs villas. Closer to the centre, Embassy Golf Links off the Intermediate Ring Road and the offices around Koramangala and Domlur suit people who want to live in established neighbourhoods like Koramangala, where new launches are rare and tend to be premium.

A quick guide to the city’s main tech parks

People often search for a tech park by name rather than by area. This table maps the names you will hear most often to the neighbourhoods around them, so you can jump straight to the homes nearby.

Getting around today, and what changes next

Bangalore’s metro network has started to reshape these choices. The Purple Line now runs to Whitefield, the Yellow Line connects RV Road to Electronic City and Bommasandra, and the Green Line serves the north-west and the south. The two lines that matter most for office commuters are not finished yet. The Pink Line’s first elevated stretch in the south is only now opening, and its underground section to Nagawara near Manyata is still being built. The Blue Line along the Outer Ring Road will run from Silk Board to KR Puram and on to the airport. When these open, people living within a short walk or drive of their stations will feel the biggest difference in daily travel.

Until then, road access is what counts. The Outer Ring Road, the Hosur Road elevated expressway and the airport road carry most office traffic. A project two kilometres from one of these roads with a clear approach often beats one that looks closer on the map but sits behind a congested junction.

A rough guide to commute windows

These are the patterns we see most often. They are not promises, and every route differs, but they help set expectations.

• Living inside the same cluster (for example Thanisandra for Manyata, or Panathur for Embassy Tech Village): usually a short drive even at peak times.
• Crossing one major junction (for example Sarjapur Road’s middle stretch to the ORR): manageable off-peak, slow at 9 am.
• Crossing the city (for example Electronic City to Manyata): can take well over an hour at peak and is the commute most families tell us they regret.

Schools and hospitals around each cluster

For families, the office is only half the picture. Each cluster has a different mix of schools and hospitals, and that often tips the decision.

• North, around Manyata and Hebbal: a growing number of international and CBSE schools along Hennur Road, Thanisandra Main Road and towards Yelahanka, with large hospitals near Hebbal. The newer pockets further north are still catching up.
• The ORR belt and Sarjapur Road: one of the densest clusters of international schools in the city, plus big multi-speciality hospitals near the ORR. This is a major reason families accept Sarjapur Road traffic.
• Whitefield: mature and well served, with established schools, several large hospitals and plenty of shopping. Little is missing here, which is why it stays in demand year after year.
• Electronic City and Hosur Road: good schools inside and around the IT zone, with hospitals along Hosur Road and towards Bommasandra. Day-to-day needs are well covered; specialist care may mean a drive towards the city.

Before you shortlist homes, list the two or three schools you would be happy with and map them. It narrows the search quickly.

Buy near work, or rent near work and buy elsewhere?

Some of our clients rent close to their office for a few years while they buy a long-term home in an area they like more, such as a villa community further out or an established central neighbourhood. That can make sense if your job may move, if your children have not started school yet, or if you are buying with a ten-year view. If you expect to stay in the same job and the same school for years, buying close to both is almost always the calmer choice.

How to use this when you shortlist

• Think about both partners’ offices. If one works in Manyata and the other on the ORR, Hennur or the Hebbal side of the ORR is often the fair middle.
• Test the commute at peak time. Map apps at 11 am are not the same as 9 am on a Tuesday.
• Look at where the metro is going, not just where it is. The ORR Blue Line and the extension to the airport will change travel times in the east and north. Buy on today’s reality and treat future lines as a bonus.
• Check schools early. Many families decide the neighbourhood around the school, not the office.

What we tell our clients

Living close to your workplace is still the single biggest quality-of-life choice you can make in Bangalore. Start with the cluster you commute to, pick two or three neighbourhoods around it, and then compare projects on builder track record, space and possession timeline. Our advisors can do that shortlist for you after a short call.

Which tech parks are on Sarjapur Road?

RGA Tech Park and Wipro’s corporate office are on Sarjapur Road itself, and the large parks at Bellandur on the Outer Ring Road, such as RMZ Ecoworld, Pritech Park and Vaishnavi Tech Park, are close to where Sarjapur Road meets the ORR.
