Locality Review: Anekal, Bengaluru

Anekal, situated close to the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border, is a part of the Bengaluru urban district. It majorly offers residential plots. Affordability and good connectivity to IT and industrial hubs are turning this neighbourhood into a preferred destination for plot buyers and investors.

Anekal, part of South Bengaluru, is situated at the confluence of many important stretches. Attibele-Anekal Road, Jigani-Anekal Road or the Bannerghatta Main Road, Anekal-Hosur Road and Anekal-Thally Road form a junction in the southern part of the locality. While the KS Agrahara lake is situated in the northwest, Doddakere, another water body and the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border are in the south. Kurubarahatti, Bidaragere, Karpur, Hompalaghatta, Hasaruvani, Amani Doddakere and Thattanahalli are some areas surrounding Anekal.

Anekal’s accessibility to industrial areas and IT zones are the primary reasons for its real estate development. While Attibele Industrial Area is around 12 km, Bommasandra Industrial Area is 16 km, and Jigani Industrial Area is about 17 km away. Easy access to Electronic City, which is situated at a distance of around 19 km, is also an important factor contributing to this region’s real estate development.

Bengalureans wanting to move towards the peripheral areas for
bigger properties at affordable rates are mostly attracted to the residential plots and properties in Anekal.

Anekal Public School, Vidhatha Global School, Lincoln Memorial English School, Sri Shanthinikethana Vidya Mandira School, St. Joseph’s PU College, Sri Sairam College of Engineering and Alliance College of Engineering & Design are the major educational institutions present within the boundaries of Anekal.

Ganga Speciality Hospital, Anekal Health Care And Hospital and Raghu Child Care Nursing Home are some of the important healthcare facilities in the vicinity.

There are many small stores, marts and markets in the locality, but the same cannot be said for pockets that are still in their nascent stages of development.

Pearl Valley Dam and Muthyala Maduvu are important tourist attractions in Anekal.

Anekal Hosur Road, Thali Road, Bannerghatta Main Road, Attibele Anekal Road, Chandapura-Anekal Road and Hompalaghatta Road are important stretches of connectivity in the locality. BMTC and KSRTC run a good fleet of buses, and cabs and autos are easily accessible from major junctions of the neighbourhood. Anekal Road Railway Station is present within the locality. However, there is no metro connectivity to Anekal as of now. Kempegowda International Airport is 68.4 km away.

Anekal will benefit from the upcoming Satellite Town Ring Road project, which will significantly improve the connectivity aspect of the region.

Water shortage due to over-exploitation of groundwater, pollution of water bodies due to industrial waste dumping, improper waste disposal, and non-functioning streetlights in a few pockets of the locality are major civic issues faced by the residents of Anekal.

Accessibility to industrial areas and Electronic City, availability of plots in all sizes at relatively affordable rates, and good connectivity via a wide array of roads are some of the reasons why Anekal’s real estate market is seeing a steady demand.
