02 About 5th Block

What is Koramangala 5th Block like?

5th Block is the address most people mean when they say Koramangala. Forum Mall, the Sony World junction and a relentless run of restaurants, pubs, coworking spaces and startup offices make it the busiest, most commercial part of the layout.

Its appeal is being at the centre of India’s startup scene: founders, investors and employees cluster here, and everything — food, offices, retail, nightlife — is within a few hundred metres. Residential stock sits above and behind the commercial frontage.

For buyers it is a trophy-and-investor address rather than a quiet home — expect the highest prices in Koramangala, constant activity and severe parking pressure, offset by unmatched liquidity and rental demand.

03 Price & rent

Property prices & rent in 5th Block

Config Monthly rent Buy (ready-to-move)
1 BHK ₹26k–40k ₹75 L–1.1 Cr
2 BHK ₹38k–60k ₹1.35–2.2 Cr
3 BHK ₹58k–95k ₹2.1–3.5 Cr

5th Block flats trade around ₹16,000–22,000/sq ft, the highest band in Koramangala — you pay for Forum, the startup cluster and prime commercial frontage.

Rental demand is the strongest in the layout with minimal vacancy, holding yields near 3% despite the very high capital base.

04 Connectivity
