Hennur Road real estate in 2026 — price by pocket, real commute times, active projects, and an honest account of the traffic and water issues
Hennur Main Road → Hennur–Bagalur Road, North-East Bengaluru
Hennur Main Road (inner, BBMP) · Hennur–Bagalur Road (outer) · off-Hennur link roads
5–10 min
15–22 min off-peak
The verdict: Hennur Road works best for Manyata-employed buyers who want space without Whitefield or Hebbal pricing. Access to the Outer Ring Road is genuinely strong; access to central Bengaluru is not. Prices vary sharply along the stretch — inner Hennur Main Road commands a clear premium over Hennur–Bagalur Road further out. Verify water source by pocket before you buy. That single fact separates a good address from a difficult one.
Hennur Road is three different property markets wearing one name, and buyers lose money by not knowing which one they are looking at. A project "on Hennur Road" might sit five minutes from Kalyan Nagar or twenty minutes past the Outer Ring Road toward Bagalur. The price difference between those two is substantial. The living experience is not comparable.
This guide separates the stretches, gives realistic commute times, and covers the two things the portal listings will not mention.
Field | Value |
|---|---|
Corridor | Hennur Main Road → Hennur–Bagalur Road, North-East Bengaluru |
Price range across stretch | ₹7,500–₹12,500/sq. ft. for apartments across the broader Hennur corridor, depending heavily on pocket/project (Q2 2026 asking-market references; Hennur Main Road averages around ₹10,464/sq. ft.; Hennur–Bagalur Main Road around ₹9,712/sq. ft.) |
Outer Ring Road access | 5–10 min depending on pocket |
Manyata Tech Park | 15–25 min off-peak; peak can be substantially longer depending on Hennur junction/ORR traffic |
Bellary Road (NH-44) | 10–15 min |
Kempegowda International Airport | 30–45 min |
Metro status | Not operational on Hennur Road. The Hennur corridor is associated with proposed/planned future metro connectivity; do not quote a confirmed operational date or station list without a current BMRCL notification. |
Civic jurisdiction | Greater Bengaluru Area (GBA) / relevant city corporation on the inner corridor; outer pockets can fall under different urban/local-body jurisdictions. Verify the exact survey number/project. |
Water source | Project-specific. Cauvery/BWSSB supply exists in established pockets, while some newer/outlying developments rely partly or fully on borewell/tanker arrangements. Do not classify the entire corridor as Cauvery or borewell. |
Main drawback | Peak-hour bottlenecks around Hennur Cross, Horamavu Agara/Hennur Road junctions and sections toward Hennur–Bagalur Road; railway-bridge/road-work sections have also caused severe delays. |
The corridor runs north-east from the Hennur junction on the Outer Ring Road, out toward Bagalur and eventually the airport corridor. Buyers and brokers use three names loosely, and the distinction is worth money.
Hennur Main Road — the inner stretch, from around Kalyan Nagar and HBR Layout up to the Outer Ring Road junction. This is the most established segment. BBMP jurisdiction, older residential stock, mature retail, and the highest prices on the corridor.
Hennur–Bagalur Road — the stretch beyond the Outer Ring Road heading toward Bagalur. Newer, less dense, most of the large-format project supply, and materially cheaper. Civic infrastructure is younger here, and parts fall outside BBMP limits.
"Off Hennur Road" — the phrase that requires the most scrutiny. It appears in project marketing for anything reachable from the corridor, sometimes two or three kilometres in on a link road. A project described this way may sit on a road that has not been widened, has no footpath, and floods in the monsoon. Always ask for the exact address and check the approach road on a map — then drive it.
Stretch | Character | Jurisdiction | Price band | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Hennur Main Road | Established, dense, mature retail | Greater Bengaluru Area / city-corporation jurisdiction |
| |
Hennur–Bagalur Road | Developing, large projects | Mixed urban/local-body jurisdiction depending on exact location; verify survey number | Approximately ₹6,800–₹12,623/sq. ft.; Q2 2026 average ₹9,712/sq. ft. | |
Off Hennur (link roads) | Varies widely — verify individually | Varies by exact village/survey number and administrative boundary | No reliable single corridor-wide band; verify project-specific asking and transaction rates |
The corridor borders Thanisandra to the west, Kalyan Nagar and HBR Layout to the south, Horamavu to the east, and runs toward Bagalur and Jakkur in the north.
Your original instruction says not to publish estimates, so I would use the available market data rather than inventing transaction prices.
Apartment ₹/sq. ft. | Villament/low-rise ₹/sq. ft. | 3-year trend | |
|---|---|---|---|
Hennur Main Road (inner) | ₹10,464 average; ₹7,495–₹13,433 observed range | No sufficiently reliable corridor-specific published average | 2023 ₹7,243 → 2025 ₹9,724; +34.3% over 2 years |
Near ORR junction | Use project-specific rate; no reliable independent pocket average | Project-specific | Do not publish without transaction-level dataset |
Hennur–Bagalur Road | ₹9,712 average; ₹6,800–₹12,623 observed range | Project-specific | 2023 ₹6,600 → 2025 ₹8,738; +32.4% over 2 years |
Toward Bagalur | Lower end of the broader Hennur–Bagalur market; no sufficiently reliable standalone 2026 average | Project-specific | Do not publish a separate 3-year percentage without pocket-level data |
Actual transaction values vary by project, floor, view and negotiation. Past price movement does not indicate future returns.
Two things to understand about corridor pricing generally.
Guidance value and transaction value diverge. Stamp duty is calculated on the higher of the two, so a low guidance value does not reduce your registration cost if you are transacting above it. Check the sub-registrar's guidance value for the specific survey number, not the area average.
Quoted rates are on super built-up area. A project at 68% carpet efficiency and one at 80% can quote identical rates and deliver very different homes. Compare on cost per carpet square foot instead — our breakdown of carpet area versus super built-up area works through the arithmetic, and the gap is usually larger than any discount you will negotiate.

Destination | Off-peak | Peak | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
Outer Ring Road (Hennur junction) | 5–10 min | 15–30+ min | Hennur Main Road |
Manyata Tech Park | 15–22 min | 25–45+ min | Via ORR / Hennur Road |
Bellary Road / NH-44 | 10–15 min | 20–35 min | Via ORR or Thanisandra Main Road |
Kempegowda International Airport | 30–45 min | 45–75+ min | Via Bellary Road |
MG Road / CBD | 30–40 min | 50–80+ min | Via ORR and central-city roads |
Whitefield | 45–60 min | 70–100+ min | Via ORR |
Electronic City | 60–80 min | 90–120+ min | Via ORR |
Yeshwanthpur Railway Station | 25–35 min | 45–70 min | Via ORR / Hebbal |
The pattern that matters: Hennur Road is well connected to the ring road and poorly connected to central Bengaluru. If you work at Manyata or along the northern ORR, the corridor is convenient. If you work in the CBD, on Sarjapur Road or in Electronic City, it is a difficult daily commute and will remain so regardless of what gets built.
Airport access is often oversold in project marketing. Thirty to forty-five minutes is realistic, not the twenty minutes that appears on some brochures — the route runs via Bellary Road, not directly.
On the metro. A line is planned for the corridor. It is not operational. Bengaluru metro timelines have slipped repeatedly across every phase since Phase 1, so treat metro proximity as upside rather than as something you should pay a premium for today. If a sales pitch prices in metro access, ask when construction is scheduled to begin, not when it is scheduled to finish.
School | Board | Distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Broadvision World School, Hennur Garden | CBSE | ~1 km from Hennur Garden reference area | Day school; Pre-Nursery–Class 9 |
HMR International School, HBR Layout | CBSE | ~1 km from HBR reference area | Nursery–Class 12 |
St Theresa Bacq Public School, Kothanur | ICSE | ~1.8 km from the relevant Hennur/Kothanur reference area | Nursery–Class 10 |
Vidyashilp School | ICSE | Off Hennur–Bagalur Road | Exact drive distance depends on project location |
Delhi Public School North | CBSE | Project-specific | Better treated as a North Bengaluru catchment school rather than a fixed “Hennur Road” distance |
Hospitals
Hospital | Distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Aster CMI | ~8 km from a central Hennur reference point; approximately 15 min off-peak | Multispeciality/super-specialty hospital; 24/7 emergency department |
Manipal Hospital, Hebbal | ~8–10 km depending on starting pocket | Multispecialty hospital; verify route/time from individual project |
Retail
Worth separating "near" from "good" when you evaluate this. A school five minutes away with a three-year admission waitlist is functionally further than one twelve minutes away with seats available. Ask about school bus routes to your specific project rather than trusting straight-line distance — buses follow roads, and some link roads off Hennur do not have routes at all.
Destination | Distance |
|---|---|
Elements Mall, Nagawara | ~3–5 km from inner Hennur/Hennur Bande pockets |
Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru | ~6–8 km depending on Hennur pocket |
Phoenix Mall of Asia, Hebbal | ~8–10 km depending on starting point |
RMZ Galleria Mall, Yelahanka | ~8–12 km depending on starting point |

This is the section the portals will not write. Read it before the price table.
Peak-hour traffic. The corridor funnels into a limited number of junctions, and the volume has grown faster than the road capacity. Drive your intended commute at 9 am on a Tuesday and again at 7 pm before you commit to anything. Not on a Sunday afternoon, which is when site visits are scheduled precisely because the roads are empty.
Water sourcing is not uniform. Parts of the corridor have BWSSB Cauvery connections; parts depend on borewells and tanker supply. This is the single most important thing to verify, and it is project-specific rather than area-specific. Ask the developer directly: is there a sanctioned BWSSB connection, or is the project on borewell? A project on borewells in a falling water table is a recurring cost and a long-term risk, not a one-time inconvenience.
Mixed civic jurisdiction. Sections of the corridor fall outside BBMP limits and under panchayat administration. The practical difference shows up in road maintenance, storm water drainage, garbage collection and khata type. Confirm which authority governs the specific project and what khata you will receive.
Road width and approach quality. The main corridor is reasonable. Several link roads serving "off Hennur Road" projects are not — narrow, unlit, without footpaths, and prone to waterlogging. Drive the last two kilometres of the approach, at night.
Supply outpacing absorption. A significant volume of new inventory is under construction on this corridor. That favours buyers on pricing and payment terms today, and it means resale competition when you eventually exit — you will be selling against not just other resale units but against developers still holding unsold stock.
Infrastructure timelines. Every major infrastructure promise on this corridor — metro, road widening, ring roads — has a history of revision. Buy for what exists today. Treat what is promised as upside you did not pay for.
Good fit: Manyata or northern ORR employees who want more space per rupee than Hebbal or Thanisandra offer. Buyers with a seven-to-ten-year horizon who can wait for infrastructure to catch up. Families who value low-density formats — the corridor has more of these than most of Bengaluru because the land parcels are larger.
Poor fit: Anyone commuting daily to the CBD, Sarjapur Road or Electronic City. Buyers who need mature civic infrastructure from day one. Investors seeking a three-year exit, given the volume of competing supply.
Verify before you buy, in this order: water source, civic jurisdiction and khata type, approach road quality at night, peak-hour commute driven yourself, and RERA registration on the Karnataka portal rather than from a brochure. Our pre-site-visit checklist covers the rest.
It suits buyers working at Manyata or along the northern Outer Ring Road who want more space per rupee than Hebbal or Thanisandra. Connectivity to the ring road is strong; connectivity to central Bengaluru is not. Verify water source and civic jurisdiction by project before committing.
Prices vary substantially along the corridor, with inner Hennur Main Road commanding a premium over Hennur–Bagalur Road further out [VERIFY: current bands]. Compare projects on cost per carpet square foot rather than quoted rate, since carpet efficiency varies by 15 points or more between formats.
Hennur Main Road is the inner, established stretch under BBMP with mature retail and higher prices. Hennur–Bagalur Road runs beyond the Outer Ring Road toward Bagalur — newer, cheaper, with most of the large-format project supply and younger civic infrastructure.
Thirty to forty-five minutes to Kempegowda International Airport via Bellary Road, depending on your position on the corridor and traffic. Project marketing sometimes quotes shorter times; the route is not direct and does not support them.
Not operational. A line is planned for the corridor [VERIFY: phase and status]. Bengaluru metro timelines have slipped repeatedly across every phase, so treat metro proximity as potential upside rather than something to pay a premium for today.
Not uniformly. Some pockets have BWSSB Cauvery connections; others depend on borewells and tankers [VERIFY by pocket]. This is project-specific rather than area-specific and is the single most important thing to verify. Ask the developer whether a sanctioned BWSSB connection exists.
