About Jakkur
Jakkur is a North Bangalore locality wedged between Bellary Road (NH-44) and Thanisandra Main Road, known for its namesake lake and the Jakkur Aerodrome. Situated amidst ponds and lakes, Jakkur adjoins Bangalore-Hyderabad Highway or Bellary Road and houses the reputed Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, while the Jakkur Airfield is the only general aviation field in Bangalore. This mix of open water bodies, an active flying school and a university-grade research institute gives the locality a character distinct from the denser IT belts further south.
The residential market here spans mid-segment and premium apartments, independent villas and plotted developments. The locality mostly has Villa, Apartment and Land in various sizes and configurations, with flat prices in the range of Rs 9,450-15,900 per sq ft and land rates around Rs 10,650-15,500 per sq ft. Flat rates in Jakkur have changed by 19.4% in the last 1 year, 69.0% in the last 3 years and 101.7% in the last 5 years.
Demand is driven largely by its position between the established Hebbal-Manyata corridor and the fast-growing Yelahanka-airport stretch. Good access to the Outer Ring Road at Hebbal and Bangalore International Airport, easy connectivity to Kirloskar tech park and parts of Whitefield via Thanisandra Main Road make it one of the most promising investment corridors in North Bangalore. Green spaces around Jakkur Lake, Rachenahalli Lake and parts of Jakkur Aerodrome add to the clean air and open spaces residents value here.
Like much of North Bangalore, Jakkur has its share of growing-pain issues. Traffic congestion is a concern, with Thanisandra Main Road in particular suffering from severe bottlenecks during peak hours, while metro connectivity in these zones is planned but not yet operational and water supply in certain pockets still depends on borewells or tankers. Buyers weighing these trade-offs against the locality's greenery and long-term infrastructure pipeline typically find Jakkur a reasonable entry point into North Bangalore's growth story.
