Malleswaram Rent Prices in Bengaluru 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At a median of ₹450/m², you are paying for the pin code and the cultural clout rather than modern amenities. The 'BOUGIE' rating reflects the high-barrier entry for newer apartments, which often hit the ₹680/m² mark despite being squeezed into tight plots. It is worth the price only if you prioritize proximity to the CBD and don't mind the strict 'vegetarians only' preference most landlords still maintain.
The Vibe:Malleswaram is where old-school Bengaluru refuses to die, dominated by conservative families and retirees who have held their plots since the 1950s. Navigating the grid between 8th Cross and 15th Cross is a test of patience thanks to narrow lanes and aggressive one-way rules. The Green Line metro at Mantri Square is your only real escape from the gridlock during peak hours.
The median rent price in Malleswaram, Bengaluru is ₹450 per m² per month, 0% below the Bengaluru city average of ₹450/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of June 2026.
