1. CV Raman Nagar, Indiranagar etc. Depends upon your budget and travelling comfortabilty. 
 2. Identify an area, go in person in a scooty and speak to owners directly whenever you see to-let sign. Stay away from brokers. Been living in Bangalore since 2016 and stayed in 4-5 houses, did the same thing for every house hunting. Staying in 2bhk in Koramangala with 15k rent. You can guess now. 
 3. No. One time fee. But avoid brokers at any cost. 
  
 Learn Kannada, will be helpful especially dealing with local sabjiwalas and police. Welcome to Garden City!

Will be moving to Bangalore in a couple of weeks so looking forward to rent a flat asap. The office is in Mahadevapura(Bagmane Tech park)
1) What are some good localities nearby where I could find apartments in a gated society? 
2) What is the best means to find a flat? (NoBroker, MagicBricks or brokers or a literal house hunt on foot)
3) Do the brokers charge brokerage every year for renewal of rental agreement?(as is the case in Pune)
Anything else to keep in mind?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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.

New in Bangalore!

House hunt

Hi there,

TLDR;
Please guide experienced gv folks how do you search and go about looking for place to stay in a new city and what things to keep in mind?

I am trying for opportunities outside my current location. I have no idea about searching independently for a place to stay whilst first time in a city.Also till date since start of my job I found place to stay with my friends or college peers who were in nearby locations luckily.Include the 2-3 years of COVID wfh also so didn't get chance to relocate outside.

But now since I am out of touch with many and also don't want to depend on others as they might have other commitments and couldn't be there everytime.I want to be able to find a place on my own.

Thanks.

How to find an apartment in Bangalore ?

Product Manager

I’m looking for a 1/2BHK in a society near HSR. The ones around Sarjapur Road and HSR are super expensive, while ones towards Electronic City are comparatively cheaper.
Do you prefer paying a higher rent to compromise on travel time, or compromise on travel and stay in a better flat at the same price.
