Ratings & Reviews of Marathahalli, Bangalore

As a tenant Marathahalli has been wonderful place to live. The region combines convenience and quiet very effectively. Particularly with the Outer Ring Road nearby, it is very well-connected; hence, going to important IT centres and the airport is simple. With bright streets and a friendly environment, the area is safe. Daily needs including grocery shops, hospitals, and schools abound nearby. The parks add to the general attractiveness, and I especially appreciate the range of restaurants and cafes nearby. The neighbourhood is inviting, and you will frequently see joggers or families stroll in the evening. My only little worry would be the intermittent peak hour traffic jams; otherwise, it is a wonderful location to live.

For customers, I suggest Marathahalli. It connects swiftly to IT parks, Whitefield, and Sarjapur from the Outer Ring Road. There are several ready residential developments, respectable schools, hospitals, and major retail centers in the area. Co working hubs and office spaces maintain constant demand for rentals. For its ease, many IT experts choose this area. While well-situated units provide higher returns, apartment rents are steady and typical rental yields fall about three to four percent. Compared to more modern neighborhoods, pricing is affordable. By pocket, parking and civic maintenance differ; hence, improved public open spaces and sidewalks would be desirable. I find great investment returns and practical way of life here appealing.

Positive: Renting here in Marathahalli is a great deal for the convenience alone. The location is unbeatable on Outer Ring Road, and I can reach major IT parks in no time, saving a lot of time. The social infrastructure, too, is great. Everything is close by, from hospitals like Sakra and good schools to every restaurant and shop you might need. It is a vibrant, self-sufficient, and high-energy place to live.

Negative: I highly recommend Marathahalli for its access and amenities. For future improvements, two areas stand out. We need better traffic management near the bridge, as congestion during peak hours is painful. Also, improving the drainage system is critical. The streets get waterlogged too easily with heavy rain.

Positive: Residing in Marathahalli suburb of Bengaluru was advantageous in many ways. The spot near the Outer Ring Road and tech-parks allowed for easy and fast commuting to offices and co-working spaces. Schools like the Ryan International School and New Horizon College were just a stone's throw away, and hospitals like Sakra World Hospital and VIMS Super Speciality Hospital provided steady service. Local markets and shopping malls were at hand.

Negative: The extension of the metro line was still in progress and the closest station wasn't yet fully functional. Some residential plots experienced irregular water supply and drainage maintenance problems during rainy conditions. While affordability was more favourable than ultra-premium areas, the price for good apartments had already increased.

Positives: Marathahalli beats all when it comes to closeness to tech parks, so I picked it. It's cheap considering it's a hub location, and I love the great connectivity with the Outer Ring Road and the good bus network. I am secure here and all the necessities are available here, from cheap supermarkets to VIMS and the Government Hospital. The best thing for me is the extreme availability of all amenities right at my doorstep.

Negatives: The rush-hour traffic jam is simply soul-sucking and stressful for my daily commute. I also hope the authorities would take more care to manage waste and clean the roadside spaces.

Positives: I came as a tenant here for work close to the ORR, and I am quite happy here. The location of Marathahalli is just unbelievable. It puts me within easy reach of all the IT parks. Anything from large malls to hospitals is just a quick drive away. Safety is never an issue with the round-the-clock activity. This locality really makes my work life easy.

Negatives: My major worry is the peak-hour traffic on the main junction. The ongoing construction also results in excessive dust and noise pollution that must be addressed immediately. I also see how much higher the rent is now. I wish so much that the infrastructure came even slightly close to this fast development.

Marathahalli’s plus point is that it’s right off the ORR. The second plus point is the reasonably better connectivity to places like Electronic City and Koramangala (within 30-35 minutes). The KLM Mall and quite a few reputed schools are nearby as well. Several big projects are now coming up in the area, leading to an appreciation in property rates (which means good news for us).

I don’t like the water quality in the area. It has high iron content. The hard water issue should be solved at the earliest. This is the biggest issue here, along with the potholed roads that you will find throughout the entire neighborhood.

I find Marathahalli pretty decent as a residential neighbourhood. The Outer Ring Road connectivity is what I actually looked for, and this place gave that. So, it was a win-win for me, particularly since the property values were reasonable back then, and have appreciated hugely now. Also, the office in Whitefield is quite accessible from here, which is another advantage for me. I am a single professional, so amenities and infra are all par for the course in the locality. The people here are welcoming, while the local market is very nice.

I think that the road conditions need immediate improvements. There are potholes and bumps in many stretches.

Marathahalli is located strategically on the Outer Ring Road, which ensures good connectivity to several places in Bangalore. Electronic City and Whitefield are both accessible, which is a boon for IT professionals like me, who are working in these areas. The neighborhood is mostly family-friendly, with decent social and civic infrastructure. Even Koramangala can be accessed within half an hour. Malls like the KLM Mall can also be accessed conveniently from the locality.

There are a few issues that I would like to point out. Firstly, the poor road conditions in the neighborhood are a big problem. This should be improved promptly. Secondly, the hard water that is supplied in the area is another matter of concern, since it has high TDS content.

Positives: I have to say it's lively and functional living here. I get to most places fast since the Laxmi Nagar metro station is within reach and buses are regular. I like the crowded market and affordable eats that facilitate daily life. I also find rental prices reasonable for students and young working professionals. I enjoy the nearby small parks where I go for short strolls, and the neighbourhood is filled with several shops and coaching centres that provide jobs and learning opportunities.

Negatives: I also find some areas that require attention. Roads and inner lanes feel cramped, and parking is always a pain. Waste and sanitation in some sections of the market require better maintenance. Unplanned construction hinders proper infrastructure development. In spite of this, I still suggest Laxmi Nagar for ease and enthusiasm.

Positives: I shifted here on a work posting, and I must say Marathahalli is a great hub. I appreciate the way it is placed between Outer Ring Road and Old Airport Road, making major IT parks immediately accessible. Metro connectivity is a major plus, and I feel totally secure here. The presence of everything, from cheap groceries to large malls, makes life easy for professionals.

Negatives: But I believe some things are missing. I have to say the traffic jams and noise on major roads are an everyday challenge. I observed some areas' roadside cleanliness could be better. And I also believe renting here is very costly in comparison to other places. In spite of all these problems, I am still very happy with my decision.

Marathahalli has a lot of potential for the future, especially because of the upcoming metro line. This will boost the property prices (they have already started to go up), and I am so happy that I invested some years back. Living here has been generally nice, particularly since I can easily commute to the office on Sarjapur Road, and even to the New Horizon College, where my spouse is currently pursuing another degree. Also, the HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum is an ideal nearby landmark for a hobbyist like me. I find it awesome that I can go here multiple times without being overwhelmed by traffic congestion.

The road conditions have to be improved here, especially with so many potholes throughout the entire stretch.

I find it really easy to live in Marathahalli. The reason I say this, is because, I have not had good experiences in many other localities. People here are generally well-behaved, and the local stores and establishments do follow the basic rules of cleanliness. I usually take autos and buses to reach nearby destinations, while am eagerly waiting for the metro extension. I work in Whitefield, and find it convenient to stay in Marathahalli, since the property rates suited my budget. Many schools and hospitals are nearby, while the Brookfield Mall is our go-to hangout here.

I do not understand why the municipality is not fixing the sewage system in Marathahalli. This is the only issue in the locality.

I adore this locality for the simple reason that it's really the hub of activity. I know that its location on the Outer Ring Road is its greatest strength, providing locals with swift access to all the major IT hubs such as Embassy Tech Village and Prestige Tech Park. This combination of enormous business potential and comparatively reasonable mid-segment residential space, as against Central Bangalore, guarantees great returns on investment, coupled with the soon-to-be-opened Blue Line Metro offering sky-high future appreciation. Social infrastructure is excellent, and the primary arterial roads are reasonably good, making this a thriving, self-contained centre of young professionals. But as a local, I would very much urge addressing the daily, severe traffic jams and repairing the long-abandoned drainage and awful conditions of the inner minor roads in a hurry.

Marathahalli is a good place to live, particularly for its seamless connectivity to areas like Sarjapur Road, Whitefield, Electronic City, and more. At the same time, one good thing is that the property rates here are slightly more affordable in comparison to many other places. Jeevika and other hospitals are nearby, along with the New Horizon College and the Brookfield Mall. You will also find the Phoenix Marketcity within 15-20 minutes, while the HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum are also pretty accessible. The upcoming metro extension will benefit the area, along with the BMTC auto and bus network.

Sewage systems need to be improved in Marathahalli, along with the road conditions.

I am a proprietor here in Marathahalli since more than a decade. The position between Outer Ring Road and Old Airport Road is a huge boon, placing me beautifully in touch with big IT parks and giving me huge professional horizons. My household appreciates that everything is at hand from multi-specialty hospitals such as Sankara to fantastic schools and daily comforts are still surprisingly affordable. The neighborhood is never dull, and the future infrastructure, such as the new metro line, is only serving to boost property value. I just think we require better, organized traffic movement management, particularly around the main intersections, in order to fully optimize our suburb's huge potential.

Marathahalli is home to all decent social infrastructures, including the Genius Global School, Jeevika Hospital, and some green spaces. Also, I can vouch for the connectivity benefits of the Marathahalli Outer Ring Road, which is a major lifeline. You can easily reach Whitefield, Sarjapur, Brookefield, and ITPL from here. The upcoming elevated station on the North-South Corridor will give the area a major boost in the future. That’s why I invested here and shifted from my previous place.

Marathahalli needs better recreational amenities. We need more eateries, pubs, nightlife options, etc., for the people living here. Also, the waterlogging situation needs immediate improvement along with other civic infrastructure, like roads.

One of the reasons why I chose Marathahalli for staying in Bangalore is the connectivity. I am technically an outsider, although I have now been in the city for many years and will be settling here for the long term. Over the years, I have fallen in love with Marathahalli and have seen the area develop nicely. The best part is that I can reach Whitefield in only 15-16 minutes by car, and the same story is there for Electronic City, which is about 45 minutes away. The area is home to several well-known gated communities and a vibrant population of techies and students. Also, food and shopping options are coming up lately here.

Marathahalli needs more civic infrastructure development. The potholes on the roads are terrible at many times throughout the year.

Positives: Marathahalli locality is actually a real job hub, located perfectly close to big tech parks. The access from Outer Ring Road makes my office trip easy, and the location is bustling with innumerable shops and restaurants. The wait for the new Blue Line Metro station coming up close to the main bridge is the largest indication of immense future potential.

Negatives: The traffic jam on the main road is extremely frustrating, and in the monsoon, quite a few inner roads and side lanes have poor drainage. The neighbourhood requires three key changes, stern regulation of street parking, prompt repair and maintenance of internal roads, and a complete revamp of the stormwater drainage system.

Positives: I purchased my apartment here, and Marathahalli has been a working professional's dream for me. The Outer Ring Road brings me rapidly to Prestige Tech Park and other IT office spaces. I just love the fact that everything is within easy reach, going to Sakra World Hospital when emergencies arise or shopping at Brookefield Mall is so easy. We also have lovely areas such as Chinnappanahalli Lake Park.

Negatives: However, two issues require careful attention. I wish the locality had more dedicated public parks and greens and that the internal roads and sidewalks were well maintained to cope with pedestrian traffic. If the civic body attends to dust and local street conditions, this place would be unstoppable.
