Hennur

Hennur is a residential area in North-East Bangalore, Karnataka, near HBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar and the Outer Ring Road. Hennur Cross is a key junction that links the neighbourhood with the wider city. Manyata Tech Park is roughly 3 km from this junction by road. Hennur’s commonly used PIN code is 560043, while addresses farther along Hennur–Bagalur Road can fall under 560077.

The area has independent houses, small apartment buildings and larger gated communities. Rental budgets vary across these housing types. NoBroker’s April 2026 guide lists monthly rents of ₹20,000–₹40,000 for 2 BHK homes and ₹30,000–₹60,000 for 3 BHK homes along Hennur Main Road. The building, furnishing and exact location affect the rent. A home near Hennur Cross also has a different commute from one beyond Kothanur.

Hennur lies in Bangalore’s northeast, close to the Outer Ring Road. HBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar and Kammanahalli are familiar nearby areas. Towards the north, Hennur Main Road continues through the wider Kothanur and Hennur–Bagalur corridor. This route serves older neighbourhoods as well as newer apartment clusters.

Hennur Cross is a useful starting point when checking an address. Homes near the junction have access to the Ring Road and established shopping areas. Farther north, the road passes through several distinct localities. The full address matters because “Hennur” is often used broadly in property listings.

Hennur is the locality. Hennur Road is the road corridor that serves it and continues towards other neighbourhoods. Hennur Gardens, Hennur Bande and homes near Hennur Cross form part of the inner area. Listings along the wider corridor may refer to Geddalahalli, Kothanur or Chikkagubbi.

These places share a main road but do not have the same travel distances. A property advertised as being on Hennur Road may be several kilometres from Hennur Cross. Before planning a visit, check the locality name, nearest junction and building entrance. This gives a clearer picture than the road name alone.

Hennur is known for its housing options near the Manyata Tech Park employment belt. It also offers access to the shops and services around Kalyan Nagar, Kammanahalli and HBR Layout. This mix makes it a practical area for people who want to live in the northeastern part of Bangalore.

Hennur Lake Biodiversity Park is another local landmark. The park was developed on a former dry lake bed and opened in 2016. It covers about 33 acres and was planned with trees, walking paths and planted areas. It gives the neighbourhood an outdoor space beyond the busy main road.

Hennur Main Road and the Outer Ring Road are the main links for local travel. From Hennur Cross, the Ring Road leads towards Nagawara and Hebbal on one side, and towards the eastern office corridors on the other. The northbound road serves Geddalahalli, Kothanur and the wider Hennur–Bagalur belt.

Approximate road distances from Hennur Cross include:

• Manyata Tech Park: About 3 km, depending on the entry gate.
• ITPL, Whitefield: About 16 km.
• Electronic City: About 28 km.
• Kempegowda International Airport Terminal 1: About 32 km on the route measured in October 2026.

These distances use Hennur Cross as the starting point. Travel from a home farther along the corridor will differ. Peak traffic, roadwork and busy junctions can also add time. For daily office travel, test the route on a weekday at your usual departure time.

Hennur currently depends on road transport for the first part of most journeys. BMTC buses, autos and cabs serve the area. For metro travel, residents can reach Purple Line stations such as Baiyappanahalli or Benniganahalli by road. The better choice depends on the home address and onward destination.

Nagawara is part of the planned Pink Line corridor. It should be treated as a future connection when assessing a Hennur home. The October 2026 safety inspection covered the southern elevated section between Kalena Agrahara and Tavarekere. That milestone does not mean the Nagawara section is open for passenger travel.

Hennur and the wider road corridor have schools in several locations. HMR International School is in Maruthi Layout, HBR Layout, near Hennur Gardens. Its CBSE record lists it as a senior secondary school. Bangalore International School is at Geddalahalli on Hennur–Bagalur Road, with a Kothanur postal address.

For families, the school route deserves a separate check from the office route. A campus farther north may suit a home near Kothanur but involve more travel from Hennur Cross. Compare the board, fees, bus service and pickup time. Visit during school hours to understand traffic near the entrance.

Healthcare options are spread across Hennur’s neighbouring areas. Motherhood Hospital is in HRBR Layout 1st Block, Kalyan Nagar. Regal Hospital is on Hegdenagar Main Road at Chokkanahalli. Aster CMI Hospital is on New Airport Road in the Hebbal–Sahakar Nagar area. These hospitals serve different parts of the surrounding belt.

The most useful hospital depends on the care needed and the route from home. A family with children may prioritise nearby paediatric care. Older residents may need regular access to a specialist. Check the travel route for routine visits as well as emergencies, since crossing major junctions can take time.

Daily shopping is available along Hennur Main Road and in nearby layouts. Kalyan Nagar and Kammanahalli offer a wider mix of stores, restaurants and cafés. Elements Mall is on Thanisandra Main Road near the Manyata area. It is a shopping option outside Hennur itself.

Convenience varies from street to street. Some homes have grocery shops and pharmacies within walking distance. Others need a short drive for basic errands. When viewing a property, walk around the block. Check pavements, streetlights and the route to the nearest shop, especially if children or older family members will use it.

Hennur has a wide spread of property prices. Older resale flats, small new buildings and large gated projects serve different budgets. Size alone does not explain the price. Building age, usable floor space, parking, facilities and the approach road also matter.

Examples in the property listings reviewed include a 1,450 sq ft 2 BHK advertised at ₹90 lakh and a 1,300 sq ft 3 BHK at ₹82 lakh. These are asking prices for individual homes, rather than fixed rates for the whole locality. They show why buyers should compare the exact property and its condition.

For a ready home, include repairs and monthly maintenance in the budget. For a new apartment, compare the full cost sheet and carpet area. A lower base price may come with extra charges that change the final amount.

Hennur can suit people working around Manyata, Nagawara and nearby parts of North Bangalore. The inner area has access to established shops and services. The wider corridor offers more apartment choices, though some locations involve longer trips for work or school.

Road conditions need attention. A September 2026 report noted unfinished work, drainage problems and pedestrian access issues along parts of Hennur–Bagalur Road. These conditions can vary by stretch. Check the actual approach to a home, rather than judging the whole area from one main-road visit.

Hennur Bridge Drainage Inspection: October 2026

A local report citing a city corporation release recorded an inspection at Hennur Bridge on 6 October 2026. BWSSB engineers were directed to maintain rainwater flow after soil and silt from ongoing work affected two bridge openings. The update reported instructions to prevent water stagnation; it did not report completion of the clearance work.

Hennur–Bagalur Road Work: September 2026

A report published on 17 September said parts of the Hennur–Bagalur airport route still faced incomplete roadwork. It highlighted unfinished footpaths, drainage issues and bottlenecks around the Geddalahalli underpass. For residents, progress on these smaller road and drainage works matters alongside the main carriageway improvement.

Sobha Hennur Road is an upcoming apartment development in the wider Hennur Main Road corridor. The shared project brief lists 50 acres, 3,200 apartments and 1, 2, 3 and 4 BHK homes. Indicative prices start at ₹1.38 crore, with the launch planned for November 2026.

The indicative sizes start at 750+ sq ft for a 1 BHK and extend to 2,000–2,400 sq ft for a 4 BHK. The exact site pin, RERA number, tower details and possession date are yet to be announced. The project’s travel distances will depend on its confirmed site location.
