Kadugodi, Whitefield Area Guide (2025)
Kadugodi is a historic neighbourhood in East Bengaluru's Whitefield micro-market, known for fast metro access, strong civic infrastructure, and a real estate scene that keeps growing year after year. This guide explains exactly where Kadugodi sits, what the name means, how the Whitefield (Kadugodi) Metro Station changes daily life, what schools and hospitals serve the area, and why buyers and renters keep picking this pin code. You'll also find current property trends, project spotlights—including Prestige Park View and the upcoming Prestige Evergreen near Varthur—and a dated Latest News section (20 Aug–9 Sep 2025) focused on real-estate updates that matter to your plans.
Kadugodi sits on the eastern edge of Bengaluru within the wider Whitefield ecosystem. The local pincode 560067 places it squarely in East Bengaluru's tech-and-services belt. The name comes from Kannada—"kadu" (forest) and "gudi" (temple)—a nod to its origins as a temple settlement once surrounded by green cover. Today, it acts as a welcoming gateway into Whitefield's office clusters while preserving pockets of old-Bengaluru charm in its lanes and markets.
Quick take: If you work in Whitefield, EPIP, ITPL, or along the Outer Ring Road (ORR), Kadugodi gives you shorter commutes, predictable transit, and neighborhood essentials within easy reach.
Namma Metro Purple Line (Whitefield–Kadugodi)
Whitefield (Kadugodi) Metro Station anchors the eastern terminal of the Purple Line, delivering a direct, traffic-light journey to central Bengaluru. Trains link Kadugodi to KR Puram, Indiranagar, MG Road, Cubbon Park, Vidhana Soudha/Central College, and Nadaprabhu Kempegowda (Majestic). For daily commuters, metro reliability is the difference between rushed mornings and an easy, repeatable routine.
Why it matters: Door-to-door time becomes predictable. Homebuyers value that reliability—and rental demand concentrates around walkable metro catchments.
BMTC Bus Network
Kadugodi doubles as a BMTC hub. Multiple city and ring-route services start or pass through the Kadugodi Bus Station, connecting you to Majestic, Shivajinagar, KR Market, KR Puram, Yelahanka, Peenya, Kengeri and more. Even if you don't ride daily, the network is a safety net for late-evening or early-morning rides.
Road Links & Suburban Rail
Kadugodi ties into Whitefield Main Road, SH-35 (Varthur–Whitefield Road) and the Old Madras Road/KR Puram corridor. A suburban rail stop near Whitefield adds a fallback for occasional intercity runs. Airport access is typically 35–45 km depending on your route; off-peak drives to BLR Airport are straightforward via ORR/Hennur spurs.
Schools
Families choose Kadugodi for its education belt. Popular picks include Chrysalis High (Kadugodi Campus) and Vydehi School of Excellence, with multiple preschools and early-learning centers across the neighbourhood. Older students can access reputed institutions across Whitefield and the city via metro and BMTC.
Hospitals & Clinics
Healthcare is covered end-to-end—from multi-speciality anchors like Sri Sathya Sai Super Speciality Hospital to mid-sized hospitals such as New Life Hospital and a spread of specialty clinics and labs. Emergency care is reachable quickly, and routine visits don't demand long cross-town drives.
Parks, Retail & Essentials
Kadugodi Tree Park brings shade and quiet to a busy part of town, right by the metro catchment—great for runs, walks, and weekend downtime. Daily retail ranges from local markets and high-street outlets to larger Whitefield malls. Civic services, including the Kadugodi Police Station, are centrally placed.
What's on the ground
Expect mid-rise and high-rise apartments, gated communities, a handful of villas and villaments, plus older independent homes tucked into inner lanes. New-age projects usually include a clubhouse, pool, gym, indoor games, and outdoor courts—amenities that matter for families and tenants alike.
Price & trend snapshot
Whitefield—and Kadugodi with it—has seen a steady climb across 2024–25, supported by metro readiness, tech hiring, and limited central-city supply. Exact price per sq ft varies by project, tower, and construction stage, but the slope is upward. End-users chasing connectivity and investors targeting rent-ready 2BHK formats keep absorption high.
Rental yields in the micro-market commonly sit in the 3–4% range for newer, well-located communities, with premium assets pushing higher when walkable metro access and strong amenities align.
Who buys here
- Tech professionals prioritising predictable commutes and transit.
- Families seeking top schools, healthcare, and kid-friendly amenities.
- Investors looking for rent-ready inventory near the metro and office clusters.
Sep 8, 2025 — New launch buzz near Kadugodi/Whitefield Main Road.
A fresh 1–3 BHK launch along the Whitefield corridor adds to the east-side pipeline. Early-bird pricing and metro adjacency are expected to drive quick initial absorption.
Why it matters: more primary supply keeps buyers active and sets comparable price points for under-construction stock in and around Kadugodi.
Sep 6, 2025 — Regulatory clarity reinforced citywide.
A public reiteration that key planning bodies remain under RERA oversight steadies sentiment after recent confusion.
Why it matters: consistent RERA supervision is good for consumer confidence and clean due diligence across Kadugodi and Whitefield projects.
Sep 5, 2025 — Launch near the Kadugodi–Whitefield–Hoskote axis.
A multi-format community with a clubhouse-led amenity plan opened bookings close to Kadugodi.
Why it matters: walk-to-metro/feeder locations tend to lease faster, supporting rental yields and exit options.
Sep 4, 2025 — New 1% fire cess on multi-storey buildings.
Karnataka approved a 1% fire cess on new high-rises.
Why it matters: minor cost uptick; buyers should refresh "all-in" calculations (including PLC and floor-rise) for Kadugodi/Whitefield launches.
Sep 3, 2025 — Suburban rail update: Whitefield–Kolar corridor.
Land acquisition delays were flagged on this corridor.
Why it matters: metro already anchors Kadugodi connectivity; suburban rail would be the next boost. Delays simply push that upside further out.
Sep 3, 2025 — Registration fee revision to 2%.
A state-level increase in the property registration fee adds a marginal closing-cost rise.
Why it matters: rework budgets before signing—add stamp duty, registration, cess, and GST (where applicable) to see the true "all-in".
Aug 29, 2025 — City outlook stays firm despite cost headwinds.
Bengaluru's 2025 housing outlook remains positive with steady end-user demand and healthy office leasing.
Why it matters: east-side micro-markets like Kadugodi typically track city momentum; stable absorption supports prices and rentals.
As of early Sep 2025 — Prestige Evergreen enters EOI phase.
The upcoming township phase near Varthur Lake (a short hop from Kadugodi Metro) is collecting EOIs and is tracking toward a late-October launch post-RERA.
Why it matters: large, brand-led townships act as benchmarks for planning, amenities, and price discovery across the Kadugodi–Whitefield belt.
Actionables for buyers right now:
- Recalculate closing costs with registration and fire-cess changes, and get a fresh one-pager from the developer.
- Prioritise metro-proximate launches if rentability and resale are important to you.
- Track suburban rail but plan as if metro remains your primary mass-transit backbone for the next few years.
Prestige Park View — Kadugodi, Whitefield
Prestige Park View is a well-known residential community in Kadugodi that pairs Whitefield connectivity with full-service amenities. Expect landscaped courts, a modern clubhouse, and apartment formats suited to both end-users and renters. Its location near schools, hospitals, and the metro pocket keeps it on many shortlists.
Why it works: Established address, stable resident base, and everyday convenience in a neighbourhood that's still compounding value.
Prestige Evergreen — Varthur–Whitefield Road (Near Kadugodi)
Prestige Evergreen is an upcoming phase of the larger Prestige Raintree Park township on SH-35, opposite Varthur Lake—about a quick metro-plus-drive link from Kadugodi. Planned over ~28 acres, the phase proposes ~2,000 apartments across 10 towers, with 1, 2, and 3 BHK homes sized roughly 650–1,900 sq ft. Pricing starts from ₹1 Crore (for select formats). As part of a 107-acre mixed-use vision (housing plus commercial), Evergreen aims to fold in future-ready amenities, retail, and workplace proximity.
Why it belongs in an east-side shortlist: Township scale, lakeside corridor, and a practical hop to the Purple Line terminal. For frequent flyers, the Kadugodi–ORR–BLR Airport run is another quiet advantage.
Tip: For any under-launch project, confirm the latest RERA status, phase timelines, and the exact payment plan before you lock your EOI.
Kadugodi feeds off the Whitefield–ITPL–EPIP employment belt and the wider ORR corridor. That means a steady stream of daily commuters, stable rental demand, and weekend footfall for restaurants and retail. Even when city traffic spikes, the Purple Line keeps the office run predictable—something both landlords and tenants value at lease renewal time.
- Work in Whitefield/ITPL/EPIP or along ORR and want predictable commute times.
- Need schools and hospitals within a 15–20 minute radius.
- Prefer an apartment lifestyle with modern amenities and metro at hand.
Think twice if you:
- Crave ultra-low-density villa living deep inside the core city. (You can still find villas, but supply is limited.)
- Need a sub-10-km airport commute. (Off-peak is easy; peak still needs planning.)
- Map your week. Plot office, school, hospital, and weekend routes.
- Prioritise transit. If you'll ride metro often, favour a project within a short walk or a quick feeder hop.
- Compare carpet, not just brochure size. Kitchen width, utility balcony, and wardrobe walls change day-to-day comfort.
- Audit the clubhouse list. A good gym, indoor play, multi-purpose room, and shaded tracks beat an endless (unused) checklist.
- Get the all-in number. Base price means little without floor-rise, PLC, club fees, parking, GST, registration, power, and water heads on a single sheet.
- Check phase timelines. For large townships, know what arrives in your phase vs later phases so expectations match reality.
