New in Bangalore!

Greetings,

As the headline says I will be moving to Banglore for the first time next week. Finding accommodation here is a real adventure (Not a good one) from what I read and seen. I wanted advice from people who are already there. what is best the way to go about it? I have been using MagicBricks and Flat & Flatmates to search near Salarpuria Softzone, Bellandur area but have not been able to find anything good. Is it hard to find one without a broker also how do you find a broker in the first place?

Friends have suggested joining Facebook groups which I am going to try next. I am also contemplating whether living in a PG or a Flat is a better option. For a flat, I would need flatmates which I currently don't have. I want my commute to be as low as possible because I heard Bangalore has godly planned road infra. My company has provided 15 day stay I will have to find it in the given time only.

Please let me know how you guys found accommodation. Tips and recommendations are appreciated. If anyone is aware of any empty flat please mention the property name/address. If anyone has stayed in a PG with not too bad food please mention it. Thanks.

Ignore this if you're looking for fancy gated communities. Also my exp is of South Bangalore so won't generalize. Anyways, land in Bangalore, and walk around your neighbourhood to spot tolet boards. Check the place out. Speak to the owner and get a good deal. I found a very decent flat literally on the day of arrival. Finalized by day 2. Switched two houses in 5 years by the same method. Apart from the usual kit kit with deposit, it hasn't been a problem.
