Area Overview
What makes A Narayanapura special
A Narayanapura is a compact residential pocket between C V Raman Nagar and Mahadevapura, just south of the Old Madras Road corridor.
It is an older, densely built settlement rather than a planned layout, with the original village core still visible alongside newer apartment blocks.
The position is what people buy: Purple Line metro stations are about 2 km, the tech parks are a short drive, and prices sit well below the planned belts on either side.
