Area Overview
What makes Jakkur special
Jakkur sits between Hebbal and Yelahanka on the Bellary Road side, and it has two defining features — the lake and the aerodrome.
Jakkur Lake, restored and with a walking path, is among the better bird habitats in north Bengaluru. Jakkur Aerodrome, run as a flying training facility, occupies a large area beside it and keeps that side low-density.
The belt has become a premium school address, with Vidyashilp Academy and several international schools nearby, which drives much of the family demand here.
