Prestige Lakeside Habitat, Varthur: A Resale Buyer's Guide (October 2026)
Beside Varthur Lake at Gunjur, East Bangalore, Prestige Group has finished building Prestige Lakeside Habitat, a township of apartments and villas. Every home has been sold by the developer, so buyers today deal with owners on resale. Here are its registered details, home types, setting, resale costs and buyer checks suited to a ready flat in so large a community.
Registered Details
Karnataka RERA holds these particulars for the township:
| Particular | Entry |
|---|---|
| Promoter | Prestige Habitat Ventures |
| Format | Villas and apartments, with a clubhouse |
| Site | Roughly 99 acres (401,318 sq m) |
| Homes | 3,697: 271 villas plus 3,426 apartments |
| Buildings | 11 buildings holding 24 towers of 18 to 29 floors |
| Location | Gunjur Village, Bangalore East Taluk (Varthur Hobli), PIN 560087 |
| Registration | PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/170915/000176 |
| Status | Complete |
Marketing often calls it a 102-acre project, though the registered land comes to about 99 acres. Open space accounts for 325,318 sq m, or 81%, leaving 19% under the towers.
Setting and Commute
Its site, in the Devasthanagalu area of Gunjur Village, fronts SH 35 (Varthur Main Road). This part of Varthur connects Whitefield with Sarjapur Road, and the lake next door gives some towers a water view.
Whitefield's offices are to the north, while offices on Sarjapur Road and the ORR are south-west. Namma Metro's Purple Line serves Whitefield, with stations a drive from the township. Varthur Main Road gets congested at rush hour, so try the office run at peak time first.
Apartment Plans
Four plans run from two to four bedrooms, with built-up sizes as follows:
| Size (sq ft, built-up) | Plan |
|---|---|
| 1,195 | 2 BHK |
| 1,346 | 2.5 BHK |
| 1,655 | 3 BHK |
| 2,830 | 4 BHK |
A 2.5 BHK is simply a two-bedroom layout with a small study. The 271 villas, with three or four bedrooms, form their own section. Sellers tend to quote built-up or super built-up area, so compare flats on the deed's carpet area.
Clubhouse and Grounds
The amenities revolve around open grounds and a big clubhouse, in daily use for years:
- Clubhouse with a mini theatre, games room and community hall
- Pool, gym, sauna and spa
- Courts for tennis, basketball and badminton, plus table tennis
- Landscaped gardens and a jogging track
- Play areas for children
In a finished township, maintenance tells more than the amenity list. Walking the clubhouse, lifts and basements of the tower in question reveals the association's upkeep.
Registration and Delivery
RERA registered the township on 15 September 2017. Construction started on 10 May 2015, with completion registered for 31 January 2020 and homes handed over in phases during that time. The portal holds one occupancy certificate, issued on 24 July 2018.
A project-name search on the state's RERA portal confirms the number and lists each building's floors, towers and units. Residents have lived in the towers for years, so buyers judge a finished product rather than drawings.
Resale Pricing and Costs
Price depends on tower, floor, outlook and the flat's condition, and lake views or higher floors usually cost more. Recent deeds in the same tower, found at the local sub-registrar's office, guide better than asking prices.
Duty and registration come on top. Taking Rs. 1.5 Crore purely as an example, 5.6% stamp duty and a 2% registration fee come to Rs. 11.4 Lakhs. Ready flats with an occupancy certificate attract no GST, and the EMI calculator gives the monthly payment and cash upfront at any price.
Who Should Look Here
Families employed around Whitefield or along Sarjapur Road who want a move-in-ready home with a complete clubhouse are the main fit. With plans of two, three and four bedrooms, most household sizes are covered. Tenant demand from nearby offices also appeals to buyers planning to rent out.
Close to 3,700 homes make for a lively community. Those who prefer a quiet, compact building, or a brand-new flat bought from a developer, should look elsewhere.
Resale Checklist
On resale, the flat's condition and the seller's title matter most, so check these:
- The seller's deed: tower, flat number and carpet area against the RERA unit list
- The deed itself, the khata and a current encumbrance certificate
- A loan closure letter where the seller has a mortgage on the flat
- A dues-clearance letter from the association, and the transfer fee
- Monthly maintenance, and the parking slot that comes with the flat
- Any seepage, plumbing or wiring faults, found before agreeing the price
- A peak-hour drive to work from the township on a weekday
Approach roads, how far a tower is from the main gate, and views vary a lot from tower to tower. Look at the resale flats on offer in Prestige Lakeside Habitat and visit before deciding.
