Best Areas to Rent in Pune in 2026: Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, Kharadi & More

Pune is really two rental markets: one around the IT parks in Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta, and one around the colleges in central and west Pune. Hinjewadi traffic is heavy at office hours, so your commute should decide the area before the rent does.

This guide covers the Pune areas renters search most on RentalPins and who each one suits.

Hinjewadi: next to the IT park

Hinjewadi is home to the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, with societies and apartments across Phases 1 to 3. Phase 1 and the Wakad side are closest to most offices and shops. Phases 2 and 3 suit people working further inside the park. A metro line to Hinjewadi is under construction.

Good for: IT professionals at the park, new joiners in PG or shared flats.

Wakad and Baner: society flats near the highway

Wakad and Baner have gated societies and shared apartments close to Hinjewadi and the Mumbai–Bengaluru highway, with more restaurants and shopping than the park itself.

Good for: professionals who want amenities and a short drive to Hinjewadi, groups sharing a flat.

Kharadi and Viman Nagar: east Pune and the airport

Kharadi and Viman Nagar are popular with people working at EON IT Park, World Trade Center and the airport side. Both have many newer societies, cafés and malls. Wagholi nearby is cheaper but adds commute time.

Good for: east Pune IT professionals, young professionals who want nightlife and shopping.

Kothrud and Deccan: student Pune

Kothrud, Deccan and Aundh have rooms, PG and family flats near colleges in central-west Pune and Savitribai Phule Pune University. Ask about curfew, meals and study space, and start looking a few weeks before the session begins.

Good for: students, families who want established neighbourhoods.

Hadapsar and Magarpatta: south-east IT parks

Hadapsar has flats near Magarpatta City and the south-east IT parks, a good alternative to Kharadi for people working in that corridor.

Good for: Magarpatta employees, families.

PG or shared flat?

PG includes meals and housekeeping and suits new joiners and students. A shared flat with colleagues gives you a kitchen and more privacy for similar money. Compare both in the same area before you decide.

What rent to expect

From live RentalPins listings in November 2026, the middle half of 2 BHK asking rents in Pune was about ₹20,500 – ₹31,500 a month. Rents vary a lot by area and society, so compare live pins near your office.

Pune owners usually ask for two to three months' rent as deposit. Rent agreements in Maharashtra are usually registered, so confirm who pays the registration charges.

Rent without a broker
