Moving to Hyderabad, what all should I know?

Hyderabad is costlier than Bangalore now. Be prepared to shell out a lot of rent. Weather hot till June.

Hey, I stayed in financial district from 2019 till Covid stuck. I moved from Delhi and loved the city and the people who were generally very polite.

In my experience, best way to look for a room (I am assuming with other flat mates) is through Fb groups. If you want to rent an entire flat then I would suggest shortlisting some societies that you like and then finding current residents/society guards and figuring out leads from there. Be patient and take your time finding a place with things that are important to you. When you find something that you like, lock it down fast!

Maid and cook are a hit or a miss. I had a great hard working maid with a not so great cook at the beginning and found a decent one later on. There are generally plenty of options in gated societies.

Regarding groceries, my society had a weekly vegetable-fruit market inside the society every Sunday morning. If I woke up on time, this was the place to go. Otherwise Ratnadeep stores seemed good and also IIRC there is a weekly market on Sundays on the Nanakramguda road.

Transportation: My office was approx 3kms from my residence and Rapido/Uber auto were my go to at the beginning, before I got my own two wheeler.

Good luck!

Been here for 6 months and if you find anything decent in any of these, tell me as well 😂

If you are a bachelor, try for Mantri Celestia at Wipro Circle. You can get a separate room at 12-15k in a 3 BHK. FD/Gachibowli is costly area wherein you have rare good 3BHKs under 50k/month. If you running on budget, you should look for societies which are on the left side post toll on the ORR road towards airport. It is a20-25 mins commute by own vehicle. Maid & Cook charge 4-5k average for a family of 2.

Been in hyderabad for 6 months, uber, rapido is a pain at office time, they keep cancelling, idk why maybe to increase surge price.

So if your office provides a commute facility You can stay a little farther than the financial district
Namely gopanpalle, nanakramguda or kondapur Which will be little east on pocket than Gachibowli. You can find pg/colive/isthara type service in area around gowlidoddy and kondapur You can try that as well

But food will be a issue
