Couple working in Bangalore. Places of work - Bellandur and Malleswaram.
Which are the places to stay considering the places of work as mentioned above?
Doesn't matter what location you choose.
Just ensure that on a daily basis you reinforce your love for each other. The strength of your relationship will be the only thing that helps the both of you tide over the enormous pain you'll experience because of the commute, and make everyday worth living.
On a more serious note - stay in Bellandur within a 1 or 2 km radius. Not off it, don't even consider HSR/Koramangala/Marathalli.
Of the two locations Bellandur is the most difficult to get in and out of and atleast one of you will have a energy conserving fast commute. They can also be back home at quick notice if required.
Good luck to the one with the Malleswaram commute.
With 1st hand experience, I would say choose a place closer to female partner's place of work. This will help decrease friction points, and definitely go a long way.
Otherwise, Indira Nagar looks great as an option to me with metro connectivity to Malleshwaram and reasonably not very far from belandur
How about JP Nagar? Any thoughts?
Well, JP Nagar is not a bad idea. You might need to cross a few more traffic signals (including silk board, sarjapur road, etc) which might be painful.
On the other hand, metro connectivity is good in JP Nagar. So, malleshwaram should be doable.
