Area Overview
What makes HSR Layout special
HSR Layout — Hosur–Sarjapur Road Layout — was developed by BDA from the 1980s in numbered Sectors, and it is among the best-planned residential belts in Bengaluru: wide roads, generous sites and reserved park land throughout.
That planning is why it has absorbed the tech growth better than the areas around it. Sectors 1 to 7 differ in age and density, with the earlier Sectors more established.
It sits between the Outer Ring Road and Sarjapur Road, which puts Koramangala, the Sarjapur tech corridor and Electronic City all within reach. Agara Lake sits on the northern edge.
