Shettigere: North Bangalore's Emerging Airport Suburb
Shettigere sits in the quieter folds of North Bangalore, a place that, until recently, was known chiefly for its farmland and its proximity to the runways of Kempegowda International Airport. Shettigere is one of the developing areas in North Bangalore that majorly offers apartments, followed by land parcels, and the locality is only 6km from Kempegowda International Airport. Its pincode, 562157, ties it to a cluster of villages-turned-suburbs, and this locality is near Chikkajala, Tharabanahalli and Gadenahallli, giving it a neighbourly rhythm even as apartment towers begin to rise along its edges.
What makes Shettigere worth watching is not what it already is, but what it is quietly becoming. Shettigere is growing to become a well developed area, and in recent years, there has been a real estate and infrastructure boom as many developers are building new residential projects, townships and commercial complexes. The area's fortunes are closely tied to the airport economy and the industrial parks taking shape around it; as one industry note puts it, Devanahalli Business Park & KIADB Aerospace SEZ are 9 km away, drawing both employment and ancillary demand for housing.
For homebuyers who value a slower pace without sacrificing city access, Shettigere offers a particular kind of promise. Shettigere provides a quiet life apart from the bustle, and residents do not have to give up modern conveniences, as schools, hospitals, and stores nearby provide everyday necessities. Professionals looking for a balanced work-life atmosphere find the region appealing since it is near IT centres of Bengaluru, such as Manyata Tech Park and Aerospace Park.
Pricing here still reflects the locality's early-growth character, though that is changing fast. The average price for apartments in Shettigere is around ₹9,000 per square feet, with a year-on-year price change of about 25%, one of the sharper appreciation curves recorded in North Bangalore recently, largely a function of new large-format township launches entering the market.
