The stretch from Ragigudda to Silk Board is Bengaluru’s first double-decker flyover. Metro trains run on the upper deck and road traffic uses the lower deck.

Homes and offices near Silk Board metro

Silk Board sits where several of south Bengaluru’s busiest residential and office areas meet.

BTM Layout: dense housing, rooms and PGs, with its own Yellow Line station one stop north.
HSR Layout: planned layout with independent houses, apartments and startup offices; the Blue Line will add a station here.
Madiwala and Koramangala: older mixed areas with shops, offices and rental flats.
Bommanahalli and Hongasandra: along Hosur Road, with apartments and smaller rental homes, served by the next Yellow Line stations.

The Yellow Line links this area directly to Electronic City, so many tenants here work on the Hosur Road or Outer Ring Road side. Rents and prices vary a lot by building and road, so compare a few homes before you decide.

Before you rent or buy near Silk Board

Check the guideline value. Stamp duty in Karnataka is charged on the deal value or the guideline value, whichever is higher.
Check the property tax record. This area was under BBMP, which the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and its city corporations took over in 2025. Ask the owner for the latest paid tax receipt and khata.
Check RERA for new projects. Look up the project on the Karnataka RERA website before you book.
Check the documents. Ask for the title chain, encumbrance certificate, approved plan and occupancy certificate.
Expect construction nearby. Blue Line and road works around the junction may continue into 2027. Visit at peak hours to judge noise, dust and access.
Put the lease in writing. Sign a rent agreement with the rent, deposit, notice period and maintenance clearly listed.
