About KR Puram
KR Puram, short for Krishnarajapuram, is a major transit junction and residential locality in East Bangalore with pin code 560036, sitting at the intersection of Old Madras Road and the Outer Ring Road. This position has kept the area close to the city's prime IT hubs, turning it into one of Bangalore's important real-estate zones over the past decade.
The locality is bordered by Whitefield to the south and Ramamurthy Nagar to the west, and is known for its market areas and water bodies including the KR Puram and Seegehalli lakes. A large share of housing demand here comes from working professionals commuting to Whitefield, ORR, Marathahalli and the Bagmane and EPIP tech corridors, which keeps rental and resale demand steady.
Construction activity in and around KR Puram remains active, with multiple residential projects under development and under construction across configurations from budget apartments to premium high-rises. Buyers are drawn to the mix of affordability, transit access and improving social infrastructure, while residents commonly cite good connectivity, metro access and abundant shopping and dining options as the area's strongest points.
Property values in KR Puram have shown steady appreciation, supported by the operational Purple Line metro, the Bangalore-Chennai rail line running through KR Puram railway station, and planned upgrades like the Peripheral Ring Road. This combination of existing infrastructure and future upside makes it a practical choice for both end-users and investors looking at East Bangalore.
