Kanakapura Road (NH-948) is a major 55-km road in South Bangalore. It runs through core areas like Jayanagar and JP Nagar and goes on to reach Kanakapura town. The road starts from Basavanagudi/VVPuram.

The town of Kanakapura is 59.2 km from the heart of Bangalore. The road lies in the Bangalore Urban district of the city. It intersects with the Outer Ring Road and the NICE Road. The growing locality is known for its large gated communities.

The road in the south zone of Bangalore was once just farms and fields. It is now an urban growth corridor that has a strong housing demand. Key drivers of growth here are:

• Road Access: It is easy to reach Electronic City and Mysore Road via the NICE Road.
• Metro access: The Namma Metro Green Line serves the area with six stations on its stretch. The Silk Institute Metro Station is the southern terminus of the line.
• Greenery: It is known for its large green spaces and clean air. Turahalli Forest and Bannerghatta National Park are nearby.
• Social infrastructure: Services are close by, and many more are coming up. These include Apollo Hospital, The Valley School, and Forum Falcon City.
• Wide Range: It has a range of properties, with Kanakapura Road apartments, villas, and plots aplenty.
• Value: Housing prices are lower than in other parts of the city. Based on micro-market trends, apartments average Rs. 12,950 per sq ft.

Some areas here have water issues and bad approach roads. There can be up to 20 minutes of traffic delays on the road during peak hours. It is advised to check a road map before commuting to avoid getting stuck.

There are many places for leisure here, with many cafes and restaurants on Kanakapura Road. Other places to visit here are:

Turahalli Forest, Chunchi Falls, and Wonderla Amusement Park

The area is served by the metro, cabs, autos, and BMTC buses. The distance to Kanakapura Road depends on the starting point and route. Directions to it are:

Head south through Banashankari, via Konankunte Cross, onwards to Kaggalipura and beyond to the town.

New infrastructure projects here will further boost growth. These will include the Peripheral Ring Road Phase 2 as well as widening of the road. There is also a proposal to expand the metro network beyond Silk Institute.

The area has grown from a quiet suburb to a popular place to live. The latest in its pre-launch inventory is the Sattva Group’s Sattva Evermore at Kaggalipura. Pending RERA approval, it spans 25 acres with 502 apartments in three 30-floor towers. Opening onto Kanakapura Main Road, it is 8-10 minutes from the Silk Institute Metro Station.

The project has upscale amenities like a clubhouse, gym, and sports courts. It offers convenient living, sitting close to hospitals, schools, and shopping spaces. Backed by the well-known Sattva Group, it is an attractive housing investment in southern Bangalore.
