Bangalore relocation crisis
I have to relocate to Bangalore for job as a fresher (Office at Bellandur) by end of July. They're providing a 10 day accomodation and later I'll have to arrange a PG or apartment for myself. All suggestions regarding the property hunting, travel arrangements within the city, etc are needed and welcome. PS: Share your noteworthy experiences ;)
DON'T EVER PAY A SINGLE PENNY TO A PG WITHOUT CHECKING IT IN PERSON. ONLINE BOOKING IN PGs/COLIVING IS A SCAM

Damn, thank you for the suggestion. I've heard this happens a lot in the name of security deposits and booking fees
Btw you can check out Alpha Living in Kadubeesanhalli. I've stayed there and it's really good. It's close to your office as well

• Find accommodation in a maximum of 5km radius from office
• Start looking for listings on nobroker, make sure to filter by bachelors (if you are one) Never pay anyone for anything there… ask for visitation to look at the place.
• Furlenco could be used for renting items but find associated costs first. For eg, getting your clothes washed at a laundromat May be cheaper than renting a washing machine
• Use Pincode for ordering food, save some crucial ₹₹
• Get daily essentials from ikea if you’re setting up the place from scratch.

Thanks for the info!🤜🤛
Well, cost of living in Bangalore is very high. So before relocating, make sure you check the cost of living in Bangalore vs your earning. Many freshers end up asking money from home even after they join the job. PG food is like jail food. So gradually you end up renting a flat with your colleagues. Check for flat rents, maintenance, electricity bill, cook salary etc.
Don't hire autorikshaws face to face. Always book them on app.
Don't smoke outside your PG or flat.
Always buy booz from MRP outlets.
If you smoke green leaves, remember that it's adulterated and sprayed with rat poison for strength.

Office is at Ecospace business park in Bellandur, so I'm looking for a nearby place for easier commute. Budget is around 18-25k

I am not sure your budget and lifestyle but if you looking for PG then you can check 'hamlet stays'
They have 4-5 PGs in HSR layout and One of them (Castor hamlet stays PG) closer to bellandur. In March 2023, Owner charging around Rs. 12000 for shared room (including breakfast +dinner)
@Omnichan
This Happy 2 Stay Pg is really good in Bellandur.. very neat, food also decent.. owners friendly only.. good maintenance.. I was staying here for a while..
