PG in Kharadi and Hinjawadi: A Pune Area Guide for IT Professionals

If you work at EON IT Park or anywhere on the east side of Pune, a PG in Kharadi gives you the most choice: 107 PG listings on LSC Smart Living as of November 2026, from about ₹4,500 a month. If your office is at Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, look at Hinjawadi instead. Here is who each of the five main areas suits, and what to check before you pay.

Who Pune suits

Pune is a popular city for IT professionals, from freshers on their first job to people moving for a new role, and it draws plenty of students too. The tech jobs are spread across two sides of the city: Kharadi in the east, home to EON IT Park, and Hinjawadi in the west, home to Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park. These are on opposite sides of Pune, so the first question is not “which area is nicest?” but “which side is my office on?”

There are 419 PG listings in Pune on LSC Smart Living as of November 2026. Each rent below is the lowest listed rent in that area, so treat it as the starting point rather than what every room costs.

The east side: Kharadi, Wadgaon Sheri and Viman Nagar

Kharadi

Kharadi has 107 PG listings, from about ₹4,500 a month. It is home to EON IT Park, so a PG in Kharadi suits you if you work there or elsewhere on the east side and want to keep the daily trip short. With the most listings of any area in this guide, you can compare plenty of rooms before you decide.

Good for: EON IT Park staff and anyone who wants the widest choice on the east side.

Wadgaon Sheri

Wadgaon Sheri has 47 PG listings, from about ₹3,750 a month, the lowest starting rent of the five areas here. It sits close to Kharadi, so it suits people working on the east side who want to keep their rent down.

Good for: budget-minded professionals and students who still want to be near Kharadi.

Viman Nagar

Viman Nagar has 14 PG listings, from about ₹6,000 a month. It is near Pune airport and is a well-known, established neighbourhood on the east side, with shops and places to eat close by. Its starting rent is higher than Kharadi’s and it has fewer listings, so search the two together.

Good for: people who want a settled neighbourhood and do not mind paying a little more for it.

The west side: Hinjawadi and Baner

Hinjawadi

Hinjawadi has 57 PG listings, from about ₹4,500 a month. It is home to Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park and suits people working inside the park who want to live close by. If you are a fresher starting there, living nearby keeps your first months simpler: less time on the road and more time to settle in.

Good for: anyone with an office in Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park.

Baner

Baner has 18 PG listings, from about ₹6,500 a month, the highest starting rent of the five. It is on the west side too, closer to the rest of the city than Hinjawadi, and suits professionals who want to be on the west side but prefer a more settled neighbourhood to living right beside the IT park.

Good for: west-side workers who want a more lived-in area and can stretch their budget.

Do not mix sides. A room in Kharadi with an office in Hinjawadi means crossing the whole city every day, whatever the rent.

What to check on a visit

A listing tells you the rent; a visit tells you whether you can live there. Use this list:

• The room you will get. See the actual room, not a show room, and check the bed, cupboard space and ventilation.
• Damp and leaks. Pune gets heavy monsoon rain, so look for damp patches on walls and ceilings and ask how the building copes.
• Water and washroom. Run the taps and the geyser, and look at how clean the shared areas are.
• Work-from-home basics. Check the mobile signal inside the room, and ask whether Wi-Fi is included and whether it has power backup.
• What the rent covers. Ask whether meals, electricity, laundry and cleaning are part of the rent or extra.
• Rules and deposit. Ask about gate timing, guests, the notice period and how the deposit is refunded, and get it all in writing.
• A resident’s view. If you can, talk to someone who already lives there about how the place runs day to day.

Our PG rent agreement checklist covers exactly what to put in writing.

Plan your commute before you pay

Pune traffic can change a lot from one hour to the next, so test the route at the time you would actually travel before you sign. A road that looks clear on a Sunday afternoon can feel very different on a weekday morning.

Walk from the PG to the main road after dark, and check whether autos or cabs are easy to find there. If your company runs a shuttle, ask HR which routes and pick-up points it covers. Living on a shuttle route can matter more than living close by.
