Area Overview
What makes Kogilu special
Kogilu sits between Yelahanka and the Thanisandra side, on the belt where airport-corridor development meets remaining village land.
The Kogilu Cross junction on Bellary Road is the local reference point, and development has followed the road — apartment projects and gated layouts arriving over the last decade.
The draw is airport proximity at low prices: Kempegowda International is about 18 km, among the shortest runs anywhere in the city. Amenities are still catching up.
