Area Overview
What makes Kadugodi special
Kadugodi sits at the eastern edge of the Whitefield belt, and it is the terminus of the Namma Metro Purple Line — the Whitefield (Kadugodi) station opened in 2023.
The Kadugodi Tree Park, a large forest plantation with walking paths, is the main open space on this side of the city and unusual for the eastern corridor.
Development is township-led, with gated projects on former village and plantation land offering more space than inner Whitefield at lower prices.

Why choose Kadugodi?
Kadugodi is the Purple Line terminus — metro service since 2023 — with the Kadugodi Tree Park for genuine green space, township living with more room than inner Whitefield, TISB and Deens Academy about 5 km, and yields around 4.5–5% at lower prices. The trade-offs are hospitals about 5 km rather than adjacent, thin retail outside the townships, and an airport run of about eighty-five minutes.
