Every few years, Bangalore chooses a new patch of land, sprinkles some magic dust (usually called “industrial investments worth a few thousand crores”), and boom, the area turns into the city’s new obsession.
This time, the lucky winner happens to be Yelahanka Doddaballapur Road, a stretch I’ve been quietly watching for years.
And today?
Let’s just say it’s moved from “Oh, that area?” to “Bro, are there any villas left?!”
Yelahanka Doddaballapur Road isn’t just developing — it’s evolving. And those who spot that early are the ones who win big in Bangalore real estate.
Between Foxconn entering beast mode, the KIADB Aerospace Park becoming a permanent industrial anchor, and the airport side of Bangalore finally flexing its muscles, this belt is no longer “upcoming.”
It has officially arrived.
And yes, while I’m talking about the belt in general, there is a certain boutique villa community tucked in this region, MIMS Oakdale, but we’ll get to that later.
For now, let’s look at why the whole area is blowing up faster than an Indiranagar café reel.
Quick Information: Yelahanka Doddaballapur Road

How This “Once Quiet Stretch” Became the Industrial Poster Boy of Bangalore
(Source: The Hindu)
A few years back, if someone told me Rajankunte and Doddaballapur Road would become the next big thing, I’d smile politely, sip my chai, and say, “Sure, why not?”
Today, I would like to apologize to that chai.
Because the transformation happening here is no joke.
1. Foxconn’s Monster Move (₹25,000 Crores… no big deal)
Let me put it plainly.
When Foxconn drops ₹25,000 crores into one location, it’s because they’re not planning to pack up and leave anytime this century.
Their upcoming manufacturing facility is set to employ 40,000–1,00,000 people over the next few years.
This means:
✔ More infrastructure
✔ More high-income professionals
✔ More housing demand
✔ More appreciation
Historically, areas near mega-industrial hubs appreciate 12–15% annually during ramp-up phases.
And guess which road is perfectly positioned to ride this wave?
Yep, our star of today’s show.
2. KIADB Aerospace & Defence Park: The Permanent Powerhouse
If Foxconn is the headline act, the KIADB Aerospace Park is the backbone.
We’re talking:
- Boeing
- Wipro Aerospace
- Collins
- Safran
- Rolls-Royce
- HAL divisions
- And dozens of ancillary manufacturers
Over 30,000 skilled employees today, moving towards 50,000+ in the next few years.
These aren’t your usual “IT park crowd.”
These are high-income, long-tenure professionals who prefer living in premium gated villa communities, not cramped apartments.
And that’s precisely why this belt is witnessing a villa demand surge.
The Real Reason Investors Can’t Ignore This Belt Any Longer
(Source: Bangalore Airport)
Every time I drive through this corridor (which is often), I notice something.
The supply of quality villa communities is low. The demand is exploding.
So, simple Economics 101 tells us where this is heading.
1. Appreciation That’s Actually Backed by Logic
North Bangalore already saw 9.2% YoY growth (2024–2025).
But in corridors like this, close to Foxconn + Aerospace, the realistic number is 12–15% annually.
Do the math.
A villa bought at ₹2.75 CR could comfortably touch ₹3.87 CR in three years.
2. Rental Demand That’s Silly Strong
Aerospace engineers and senior manufacturing folks earn ₹20–60 lakhs (and more).
They don’t want 1-hour commutes.
They don’t want apartments with 5 towers and 15,000 neighbours.
They want villas, safety, privacy, and space.
Which is why rentals in this belt go:
₹75,000+ per month for premium 4–5 BHK villas
Net yields go up to 4–6% (rare in Bangalore!)
3. Airport Advantage (No, really)
Kempegowda International Airport is about 25–30 minutes away.
And if you travel as much as some of my NRI friends do, that’s a blessing.
Imagine landing from Dubai, reaching home in 25 minutes, and not needing therapy for traffic trauma.
My Take on Where This Is Headed (And Why I’m Bullish)
This entire zone is on the verge of what I call the “Airport Arc Boom”.
An arc that stretches from Yelahanka → Rajankunte → Doddaballapur → Devanahalli, fuelled by:
- Airport expansion
- Global manufacturing
- Aerospace consolidation
- High-income jobs
- Scarce villa supply
And tucked neatly inside this growth pocket is that boutique, low-density villa community, MIMS Oakdale, sitting exactly where the action is, without being inside the noisy, dusty bits of development.
Who Should Seriously Consider This Belt?

If you’re someone who wants a mix of convenience, solid appreciation potential, and a lifestyle that doesn’t involve driving three hours for groceries, this belt should already be on your radar.
Whether you’re a working professional juggling office runs and weekend outings, a family looking for good schools and safer neighbourhoods, or an investor who’s smart enough to spot a growth corridor before everyone else jumps in, this stretch checks a lot of boxes.
It’s also perfect if you hate FOMO.
Because trust me, this belt is one of those places where people tell you, “I wish I had bought here three years ago.”
And if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t want to be on the wrong side of that sentence… well, this one’s for you.
✔ NRIs
Because the numbers finally justify the emotional connection to “owning a home back in India.”
✔ Luxury home buyers
Who want space, privacy, and investment-grade appreciation.
✔ Long-term investors
Who love catching the wave early rather than buying at peak hype.
✔ Families
Looking for schools, safety, amenities, and a community vibe (this belt has all of it).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this belt a good place to invest right now?
Yes. Especially if you’re looking for long-term appreciation. This belt is in that “sweet spot” phase where infrastructure is improving, new projects are coming in, and prices haven’t yet hit their peak. It’s usually areas like these that give the best returns.
How is the social infrastructure around this belt?
Honestly? Pretty solid. You’ve got schools, hospitals, cafés, shopping spots, and daily-need essentials within easy reach. And even if a few things aren’t fully developed yet, you can see it’s heading there fast.
What about traffic? Should I be worried?
This is Bangalore. Traffic is basically a personality trait of the city. But the belt generally holds up well, and with upcoming road expansions, metro connectivity, and alternative routes, it’s getting better year by year. If you plan your office timing smartly, you’re good.
Are property prices expected to rise here?
From everything I’ve seen on the ground, yes. With infrastructure upgrades and more demand than supply in certain pockets, this belt has a high chance of steady appreciation. It’s one of the reasons many investors quietly pick up units here before the crowd comes in.
Is this area suitable for families?
Definitely. If you’re looking for safety, schools, parks, supermarkets, and a decent neighborhood vibe, this is a comfortable place to settle down. A lot of young families have already moved here for exactly these reasons.
Are there good rental returns in this belt?
Yes, especially if there are major office hubs or tech parks nearby. Renters love convenience, and this area checks most of their boxes. Expect consistent occupancy and decent rental yields.
What kind of projects are available: apartments, villas, plots?
You get a healthy mix. Apartment projects are the most common, but there are also villa communities, row houses, and plotted developments depending on which stretch you’re looking at. If you tell me your budget, I can point you to the exact options.
Is it safe to buy here in terms of approvals and legality?
Most well-known builders have clear approvals, RERA registration, and proper documentation. Still, as always, I’ll help you double-check everything before you sign anything. No shortcuts with paperwork.
What’s the ideal budget to consider in this belt?
It totally depends on the segment. But you’ll find options ranging from mid-range to luxury. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking for a second investment, there’s usually something that fits.

My Final Thoughts
I’ve watched North Bangalore grow for almost two decades.
But what’s happening along the Yelahanka Doddaballapur Road right now is different.
This isn’t hype.
This isn’t speculation.
This is large-scale, employer-led, government-supported industrial growth, the kind that creates multi-year real estate booms.
If you’re looking at Bangalore real estate with a long-term vision, this belt deserves a serious look.
And hey… if you do take a drive down this stretch and spot me grabbing a coffee by the roadside, stop and say hi.
