Yemalur, bangalore

It’s not flashy but functional as there are lots of local shops, decent apartments, and not too noisy. Roads can be better, but at least I don’t spend hours in traffic anymore.

Been staying here for six months. Local vendors are friendly, and it feels safe. Wish the drainage was better as one rain, and the whole street’s a swimming pool.

Visited a friend’s place and it’s like the city forgot one corner of the map. Still, loved the local feel. Fresh veggies, dosa joints, and surprisingly friendly neighbors.

I rent a 1BHK here and it is peaceful, yet close to major IT hubs. But roads? A nightmare during rains. Great if you work in Bellandur or ORR.

Area has potential but needs better civic planning. I invested for rental income, and it’s working. But for capital appreciation, still needs more infrastructure push.

People are nice and well-mannered. The house owners are good except for some nosey-parkers. Following are my personal observations: 1. Town-planning is non-extant making the place appear like a huge slum. 2. Amenities like public toilets, dust-bins, footpaths are also non-existent. Wherever there are footpaths they are either shabbily constructed or have rampant and unlawful parking on them. 3. Public transport is crowded. 4. Modes of transport like Rickshaw are complete rip-offs and full of frauds and dupes devoid of any social or moral responsibility. 5. Other modes of transport like OLA and Uber lack work ethics and are exhorbitant due to pathetic traffic conditions. 6. Residential structures are are an absolute mess, with buildings sticking to each other and built haphazardly with no garbage management. 7. Infrastructure is in shambles with ridiculously narrow roads that lead to dead-ends increasing travel time by manifolds. 8. Renting out places is a big business with PGs, Brokers, Agencies exploiting people callously. Prices are artificially manipulated and inflated beyond logic. Places that are not even worth one fourth of their rent-value are rented out at a premium by taking undue advantage of the people's helplessness, who are mostly working professionals. Comparatively, house-owners are much better and seem to understand the desperation of the professional crowd. 9. All in all there is a total dearth of governance and management with people who seem acclimatised to miserable living conditions and are oblivious to quality living. This applies to surrounding areas of Yemalur as well. 10. Although there are major commercial, technology and hospitality hubs around, they do not seem to add value to the life of the common man of the country. I personally feel that rather than falsely creating a hype about a place it is better to boldly face and voice the ground reality.

Commute to Marathahalli or Embassy TechVillage is super fast, which is awesome. The downside is the heavy stench from the lake area in the evenings.

rent is the biggest perk for me.. its so close to bellandur and yet so cheap.. i pay 13k for a spacious 1bhk..its not a society ot a apartment complex but the area is super safe and quiet..i also love going to the HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

Quiet inner roads where you can actually step out without chaos. Just keep in mind that rainy days turn the lanes into total mud slush...

if you work near bellandur, this is a great cheap spot to rent in..just be very careful about the building you choose. some owners depend heavily on tankers and the irregular water supply will start bugging you every other morning

Glad we have good grocery shops and small clinics right inside the area. Shame about the dust though, constant heavy vehicle movement ruins it.

Peaceful layout during daytime with very low traffic noise inside. Walking near the main junction is dangerous though, no proper footpaths or street lights.

this one feels isolated from city noise. Finding the place is a pain though, cab drivers constantly get lost.

Rental yield is fantastic because tech workers desperately want to stay near work. High maintenance costs due to hard water, but always fully occupied.

Cheap PGs here.. and awesome street food options nearby! but the sudden power cuts during rain are super annoying while studying.

its a small area within bellandur..good if you are on a budget but there are small issues which will start being a headache after a year..especially the inner roads getting waterlogged after 15 mins heavy rain..power cuts, water supply issues in private buildings..ifor temporary, its fine but f you can afford a better area, go for it!
