Area Overview
What makes JP Nagar special
JP Nagar was laid out south of Jayanagar from the 1970s in numbered Phases, following much the same planned logic — wide roads, reserved park land and generous sites.
It sits between Kanakapura Road and Bannerghatta Road, which gives it unusually good access to both the southern corridor and the Electronic City side.
The Namma Metro Green Line runs along the western edge with JP Nagar, Yelachenahalli and Konanakunte Cross stations. Phases 1 to 6 vary considerably in age and character.
