MG Road, Bangalore

MG Road, short for Mahatma Gandhi Road, sits at the very core of Bangalore's central business district.

Lavelle Road is a major thoroughfare in Ashok Nagar, Bangalore's central business district, and Richmond Circle and MG Road are connected by this stretch.

The locality's real estate is a mix of legacy apartments, redeveloped mid-rises, and a handful of new-generation luxury residences.

Flat rates in MG Road changed by 5.5% in the last 1 year, 48.6% in the last 3 years, 16.1% in the last 5 years and 63.8% in the last 10 years.

Beyond commerce, MG Road offers a distinctly walkable, green core for a CBD, with Cubbon Park just minutes away and heritage tree-lined avenues softening the urban intensity. Its greenery is rated good, with proximity to Cubbon Park and heritage tree-lined avenues. For buyers who want to be inside the city rather than commuting into it every day, MG Road remains one of Bangalore's few true center-of-everything addresses.
