Forest Trails is a villa project by Arvind SmartSpaces on the Sarjapur-Bagalur Main Road at Chichuranganapalli, East Bangalore — the same broader corridor that’s seen Nambiar District 25, Purva Northern Lights and DSR The Address come up over the last couple of years as the Sarjapur-Bagalur-Attibele belt has filled in.
Location & Connectivity
The site is on Sarjapur-Bagalur Main Road at Chichuranganapalli, near the Bridgestone Select showroom — a stretch of the corridor that’s still developing rather than fully built out, feeding traffic toward both Sarjapur Road proper and the newer Bagalur/Aerospace Park growth zone further north. As with most projects on this axis, expect a longer drive to established social infrastructure than you’d get on core Sarjapur Road itself, and check current road conditions directly rather than relying on straight-line distance from marketing material.
Project Specifications
Two independent listing sources put Forest Trails at roughly 15-15.6 acres with 253 villas, all 5 BHK, in a size band of roughly 1,755-2,895 sq ft. A third source describes a noticeably different project — 20 acres, 300 units, larger 2,550-3,700 sq ft villas and higher pricing — for what’s nominally the same development; that figure set looks like an outlier or a mix-up with a different phase, since it’s the odd one out against the other two sources. Go with the 15-15.6 acre/253-unit/5 BHK figures as the more reliable read, but ask the sales office to confirm current unit sizes for your specific villa before assuming either set of numbers.
Pricing
The two more consistent sources put pricing at roughly Rs 1.94-3.12 crore (one gives Rs 1.95-2.50 crore for a narrower size band). The outlier source quotes Rs 3.19-3.35 crore — noticeably higher, in line with its larger quoted unit sizes. Confirm the current price sheet directly rather than averaging across these figures.
Amenities
Forest Trails is built around a nature theme in keeping with its name: a roughly 15,000 sq ft clubhouse, a 1.2 km forest trail, swimming pool, multipurpose sports courts, a skating rink, yoga pavilion, lily pond, barbeque station, spa, badminton court, children’s play area, common garden, gym and party area, alongside the usual security, power backup and rainwater harvesting.
RERA & Compliance
Forest Trails carries Karnataka RERA registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/271023/006354, which decodes to a registration date of 27 October 2023. The project is reported as launched in June 2023, a few months ahead of that RERA date — worth noting, though sales-launch-before-formal-registration gaps of this size do show up elsewhere in Bangalore’s market and aren’t unique to this project. Possession is scheduled for June 2029.
A Few Honest Notes
The three-way conflict on acreage, unit size and price between listing sources is more than cosmetic rounding — it’s worth treating as a live question rather than settled fact until you’ve seen Arvind SmartSpaces’ own current price sheet. Arvind SmartSpaces itself has been operating in Bangalore real estate for close to two decades, which gives this project a more established backing than several of the newer entrants on this same corridor, even with the data inconsistencies across third-party listings.
Verdict
Forest Trails is a reasonable shortlist candidate for buyers specifically looking for a 5 BHK villa on the Sarjapur-Bagalur corridor from an established developer, provided you resolve the unit-size and pricing discrepancy directly with the sales team before committing — the gap between the Rs 1.94-2.50 crore range and the Rs 3.19-3.35 crore figure is large enough to change the shortlist math entirely. With possession still years out (June 2029), there’s no urgency to decide on outdated online listings when a current price sheet is one phone call away.
Nearby Comparables
Along the same Sarjapur-Bagalur-Attibele growth corridor, it’s worth comparing Forest Trails against Nambiar District 25 (Dommasandra, Sarjapur Road), Purva Northern Lights (Bagalur, KIADB Aerospace Park) and DSR The Address (Dommasandra) — all already covered on this site, though they lean more toward plotted or mixed formats than Forest Trails’ pure villa product.
