Area Overview
What makes Hebbal special
Hebbal is the junction that governs north Bengaluru — where the Outer Ring Road, the Bellary Road airport corridor and the city’s northern approaches all meet, above and around Hebbal Lake.
That position is the whole proposition. Kempegowda International Airport is about 25 km north, which is close by Bengaluru standards, and the Manyata Tech Park sits immediately east.
Hebbal Lake, restored and with a walking path, is one of the better bird habitats in the city. The flyover complex above it is equally defining, and traffic here is a permanent condition rather than a peak-hour one.

Why choose Hebbal?
Hebbal is the best-positioned address in north Bengaluru: the airport about 45 minutes — among the shortest runs in the city — Manyata Tech Park ten minutes, Baptist and Aster CMI hospitals within 2 km, Hebbal Lake for open space, Hebbal railway station, and Phoenix Mall of Asia about 3 km. The trade-off is traffic: the ORR and Bellary Road junction is congested more or less permanently, and there is no operating metro yet.
