Tamaka sits on Kolar’s Bengaluru-facing edge, close to institutions that bring daily activity to this part of town: Bengaluru North University, Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College and R. L. Jalappa Hospital and Research Centre. Its property market is led by residential plots, making it a place for buyers planning to build a home, particularly those with ties to the college, hospital or local industry, rather than those looking for a finished flat.

Location and everyday connections

The medical college, university and hospital are all within about 1 km of central Tamaka. The university places its campus near NH 75, while the medical college gives its Tamaka address as roughly 5 km from Kolar town. NH 75 is the Bengaluru-Kolar-Mulbagal road, according to the National Highways Authority of India. Tamaka has a direct road connection to Bengaluru and Kolar’s centre, while remaining outside the centre’s denser residential streets.

Kolar is about 6 km away and its KSRTC bus station about 7 km away; the airport is roughly 72 km away. Rail access requires travelling into Kolar, as there is no station within walking distance in Tamaka. These distances define the trade-off: the hospital and campuses are close enough to shape daily life, while town-centre errands and bus connections involve a road journey. For a Bengaluru-bound household, the highway is the key link; Tamaka’s appeal lies less in a short city commute than in living close to work or study on the Kolar side.

The Tamaka Industrial Area is about 2 km away. Narasapura Industrial Area is much farther, at roughly 29 km. The Kolar district administration includes Tamaka among the district’s industrial areas, so the locality’s employment base extends beyond the medical and university campuses. The Hindu reported in February 2026 that Tata Advanced Systems and Airbus had inaugurated a helicopter assembly facility at Vemagal, elsewhere in Kolar district. The facility adds to the district’s industrial profile, though it is not a workplace on Tamaka’s doorstep.

Plots and asking prices

The residential land on offer around Tamaka is concentrated in plotted developments, with plot sizes ranging from about 1,200 to 1,500 sq ft and asking prices from roughly ₹30 lakh to ₹54 lakh. Asking prices on PropertyWala put residential land across Kolar at about ₹1,789 per sq ft for 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q3.¹ For buyers, the useful comparison is the total cost of a plot in the available schemes: their different asking bands leave a substantial gap between otherwise similar-sized parcels.

This is a land-buying market. A plot gives an owner scope to build a home to suit the family’s needs, but construction must be completed before the property can be occupied. That distinction matters to tenants and households seeking an immediate move: the offer here centres on acquiring a site, not choosing among completed flats. The location has an obvious residential audience among staff and students associated with nearby institutions, but proximity to a campus does not make the plots ready-to-rent accommodation.

Plotted projects in Tamaka

Swarnayuga Green and White Plots, by Swarnayuga Developers, is a completed residential plot development. It was completed in December 2024, and the plots on offer span about 1,200 to 1,500 sq ft, with an asking band of ₹30 lakh to ₹37.5 lakh. The project is close to the medical college and hospital, while the Tamaka Industrial Area is about 1 km away.

VM Lotus City, by VM Builders and Developers, offers plots of about 1,200 to 1,500 sq ft in a higher asking band of ₹43.3 lakh to ₹53.8 lakh. It is listed with RERA ID PRMKARERA1265339PR060723006050. Project amenities include parks, a children’s play area and other shared facilities; Bengaluru North University is within about 1 km. The two schemes offer different budgets for similar plot sizes, making the development and its setting as important as the area purchased.

Who Tamaka fits

Tamaka is best suited to households whose routines revolve around the hospital, medical college, university or nearby industrial area and who want to build a home. Those destinations are close, while Kolar’s bus station, shopping and other town-centre services are farther along the road. The locality also suits buyers who specifically want a plotted development and can wait between buying land and moving in.

A student or hospital employee seeking to rent immediately has different needs from a plot buyer. Tamaka offers an excellent location for access to institutions, but its plot-led property market offers little basis for choosing it as a ready-home rental market. A household needing frequent access to Kolar’s centre also trades that convenience for space on the town’s edge.

For another plotted option, Kodi Ramasandra is nearby and closer to Kolar town, at about 3 km from the town compared with about 6 km from central Tamaka. It remains close to the Tamaka Industrial Area, while the medical college and university are roughly 3 km away. This shifts the balance towards town access and away from Tamaka’s immediate campus-and-hospital setting.

PropertyWala’s verdict

Tamaka suits buyers who want a plot near Kolar’s medical, university and industrial workplaces and intend to build. Renters seeking a home now, and households that prioritise town-centre access, are better served by looking beyond its plot-led offer.
