Should you rent in Somasundarapalya?

Hosapalya, Bengaluru · checked 10 Oct 2026 · 1 km around the pin

Good, with a catch. This corner near Somasundarapalya and Hosapalya puts groceries, clinics, schools and parks within a few minutes' walk, and peak drives to Electronic City or Koramangala run 27-31 minutes, with Silk Board about 19 minutes; the nearest metro, Kudlu Gate, is a 30-minute walk. The catches: residents have repeatedly flagged power cuts, and a waste plant 577 m away brings recurring smell complaints, so check backup power and visit at different times of day before committing.

Suits you if

  • you want daily errands, schools and clinics within a short walk and can live with narrow, part-unpaved lanes
  • your office is near Silk Board, Electronic City or Koramangala and a 20-30 minute peak drive works for you

Look elsewhere if

  • you are sensitive to smell, given the waste plant 577 m away and repeated resident complaints
