Soppahalli is a small locality in Anekal taluk, on the southern edge of the Bengaluru region. Like much of this belt, it has moved from farmland to new layouts and gated communities, while keeping more open space and cleaner air than the inner city. The nearest towns are Anekal and Chandapura, and the industrial and IT hubs of Electronic City and Jigani are within driving distance.
Senior living in Soppahalli means a purpose-built community with care built in, at a lower price than similar homes inside the city. Elkin lists one community here, Manasum Avighna, which its operator calls its flagship project in south Bangalore.
Manasum Avighna Senior Home
Manasum Avighna is a senior living community by Manasum Senior Living, with 110 apartments of 1 and 2 BHK on a gated one-acre campus. Half of the campus is kept as open green space, and the whole site is designed for full accessibility, with a wheelchair-accessible campus and grab rails in bathrooms. It has run since 2020.
Avighna offers both independent and assisted living, so residents can stay as their needs change:
- For independent residents: housekeeping, room cleaning, laundry, nutritious meals and dining, recreation and planned activities.
- For residents who need help: trained caregivers for daily activities, medication reminders, daily health checks and vitals, physiotherapy and support after a hospital stay.
- Safety: 24-hour nursing, an emergency response and alarm system and medical care on call.
The community is pet friendly, which matters to many seniors, and apartments are furnished, with Wi-Fi and power backup. Manasum also runs Manasum Riva at Nelamangala, in the Tata New Haven township, if you want to compare the same operator on the north-west side of the city.

A campus of 110 homes is large enough to have a real social life, with neighbours to share meals and activities, yet small enough for staff to know residents by name. Ask how many homes are occupied today and what a typical week of activities looks like, and if possible meet the nursing team who would respond to a call at night.
What the southern edge of Bengaluru offers
- Hospitals. Narayana Health City at Bommasandra is the main large hospital on this side of the city, with local hospitals in Anekal and Chandapura. Ask Manasum which hospital it uses for emergencies and how long the drive takes.
- Roads. Hosur Road (NH 44) and the Chandapura-Anekal road connect the area to Electronic City and the city, and the Yellow Line metro now reaches Bommasandra.
- Quieter days. Away from the main roads, the area is calm, with open land and less traffic than the city.
- Visits from family. Children in Electronic City, Sarjapur Road or HSR Layout can reach this side more easily than north Bengaluru.
Approximate costs in Soppahalli
Communities on the southern edge of Bengaluru are priced below city projects. As a rough guide, 1 BHK homes in senior communities around Soppahalli and Anekal cost about ₹30 lakh to ₹40 lakh, and 2 BHK homes about ₹55 lakh to ₹70 lakh, plus a monthly fee for meals, upkeep and the care desk. Assisted living services, such as a dedicated caregiver, are usually charged on top, depending on need. Some communities also rent apartments. These figures are approximate, so confirm current prices, monthly charges and the rules for resale with the operator.
