Raffles Park Villas

Raffles Park Villas is on Soukya Road in Whitefield, Bengaluru 560067, a quieter, greener stretch on the eastern edge of the city's biggest IT hub. The 15-acre site holds only 61 villas in four designs, so plots are well spaced.

Visit to see where a shortlisted villa sits relative to the road, the boundary wall and its neighbours. Each design occupies a different part of the layout, so position can influence your choice between Plumeria, Canopia, Aquaria and Lumeria.

The four villa types are named rather than defined by bedroom count. Plumeria covers 6,412 sq ft, Canopia 6,660 sq ft, Aquaria 6,671 sq ft and Lumeria 6,899 sq ft, so the spread is under 500 sq ft.

As the homes are finished, you can inspect the real villa rather than rely on a drawing. Compare the layout and private garden with what the plan promised. For a resale unit, also note any structural changes a previous owner has made.

The master plan spreads 61 villas across 15 acres, split into the four designs from the 6,412 sq ft Plumeria to the 6,899 sq ft Lumeria. At this scale, a villa's position shapes its private garden and setbacks.

Corner plots enjoy more open frontage than interior ones. Visit the exact plot of any villa you shortlist before making a decision.

For fitness, residents have a gymnasium, health centre, jogging track and outdoor courts, plus golf greens for a relaxed round. The clubhouse houses a games room and party area, and an infinity pool anchors the leisure zone.

Herb gardens, landscaped gardens and a kids' play area add green, family-friendly space across the 15 acres. With so few homes sharing these facilities, they rarely feel crowded.
