North Bangalore
North Bangalore is a fast-growing northern zone in Bangalore built around Hebbal, Yelahanka, Devanahalli, and Thanisandra. It sits closest to Kempegowda International Airport among all Bangalore zones. This proximity, combined with major IT parks and new metro lines, has turned it into one of the city's busiest growth belts. Top projects like Prestige Parklane are now coming up in this corridor.
Location and Pincodes
North Bangalore covers several core localities within roughly 5 to 15 km of each other, along the ORR-Bellary Road belt.
| Locality | Pincode |
|---|---|
| Hebbal | 560024 |
| Yelahanka | 560064 |
| Thanisandra | 560077 |
| Devanahalli | 562110 |
Devanahalli sits furthest out, about 35 to 40 km from central Hebbal, while the other localities cluster much closer together.
Distance and Direction to Key Places
North Bangalore connects to the rest of the city mainly through the Outer Ring Road, Bellary Road (NH-44), and Yelahanka Road.
| Place | Distance from Hebbal | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Central Bangalore (CBD) | 9 to 11 km | South |
| Whitefield | 28 km | East |
| Electronic City | 26 to 28 km | South |
| Kempegowda International Airport | 22 to 30 km | North |
| Nandi Hills | 45 to 50 km | North-East |
| Devanahalli | 35 to 40 km | North-East |
Yelahanka sits closer to the airport, at roughly 20 km, a 20 to 30 minute drive.
Roads and the Metro Network
The Green Line of Namma Metro is the nearest working line here, with Yelahanka Metro Station as its northernmost stop. From Yelahanka, the Green Line runs south through Hebbal and Yeshwanthpur before reaching Majestic, where it connects to the Purple Line for Whitefield and MG Road.
The Blue Line plays an important role in this corridor. The Phase 2B part of the line extending 38.44 km from KR Puram to the airport via Hebbal, Nagawara, and Yelahanka is under construction and scheduled for completion by 2027. Once operational, it would greatly reduce the travel time to the airport and Bangalore.
Major Tech Parks
Growth here has followed the IT parks closely. Manyata Tech Park sits about 4.5 to 5 km from Hebbal, a 10 to 20-minute drive, and roughly 11 to 15 km from Yelahanka. Thanisandra sits closest of all, just 2.8 km from the park's gates.
Other major clusters include Kirloskar Business Park near Hebbal, Bagmane Tech Park and Ecopolis along the ORR belt, and KIADB Aerospace Park toward Devanahalli, about 20 to 25 km out.
Basic Facilities Nearby
North Bangalore carries a strong mix of schools, hospitals, and malls, keeping daily errands within a short drive.

Property Market in North Bangalore
Real estate here continues to grow at a fast pace, pushed by the airport's presence and the steady rise of IT hubs. Apartment prices generally range from ₹6,800 to ₹22,500 per sq ft, depending on the project's distance from the ORR or metro line, and the amenities on offer.
Thanisandra and Hebbal offer strong growth potential given their transport links. Devanahalli and the Aerospace Park belt are shaping up as longer-term appreciation zones, as new expressways and industrial corridors take shape around them.
Nearby Places to Visit
A couple of places worthy of weekend visits are present in North Bangalore and these places can easily be reached from the central localities.
- Hebbal Lake Park: Hebbal lake park lies on the intersection point of Hebbal flyover and hence is the most easily approachable park of the locality. This park is popular for early morning walk and exercise with free entry charges and operates during daytime only.
- Jakkur Lake: Located about 6 km north-east of Hebbal, this lake draws visitors for its walking track and bird-watching. It's a quieter alternative to Hebbal Lake, with no entry fee.
- Lumbini Gardens: Sitting on the Yelahanka-Hebbal stretch near Puttenahalli Lake, roughly 10 km from Hebbal, this park is a common stop for boating and short walks. Boating charges are usually nominal, and the park stays open through most of the day.
- Nandi Hills: The town is located at a distance of about 45 to 50 kilometers from Hebbal and 46 kilometers from Yelahanka and can be reached within 45 minutes to one hour by car. The hill town is known for its beautiful sunrise view and cool climate, attracting many locals to go on treks or cycling trips in the morning.
Admission fee ranges from ₹5 to ₹20, while parking charges are ₹15 for two-wheelers and ₹60 to ₹125 for four-wheelers. The hills are open from 6 in the morning till 6 PM or 10 PM, depending upon the seasons.
Why This Corridor Works Well
The northern part of Bangalore has directly benefited due to the development generated from the presence of an airport, something which is not the case with any other part of Bangalore. Manyata Tech Park has been one of the biggest IT parks in Bangalore. It contributes largely to the rental demands of Thanisandra, Nagawara, and Hebbal.
