Area Overview
What makes Hennur special
Hennur runs north from the Outer Ring Road along Hennur Road, and the belt has grown steadily as the corridor developed toward Kothanur and Bagalur.
Manipal Hospital on Hennur Road is the main institutional anchor, and it is one of the better-served parts of north-east Bengaluru for healthcare.
The older Hennur core sits nearer the ORR, with newer apartment development further north. Manyata Tech Park is about fifteen minutes west.

Why choose Hennur?
Hennur offers Manipal Hospital within a kilometre — unusually good healthcare access for this side of the city — with Manyata about fifteen minutes, Kalyan Nagar ten, Legacy School about 4 km, Hennur Lake for open space, and yields around 4–4.5% at prices below Kalyan Nagar. The trade-offs are Hennur Road congestion, no operating metro, and older-core stock that varies in condition.
