Where to live if you work in Hinjewadi

Updated November 2026

Twelve areas, one table: how far each is from the park and what it costs to live there.

For the shortest commute, live in Maan, Hinjewadi or Marunji, 0 to 15 minutes from most office gates. For the most convenient all-round neighbourhood, Wakad, 10 to 20 minutes away. For the lowest rent, Maan, Punawale or Marunji, where a 1 BHK starts around ₹11,000 a month. For cafés, nightlife and a livelier neighbourhood, Baner or Balewadi, at a higher rent and 15 to 35 minutes away. Decide which phase your office is in first, then pick by budget.

Rent tagged “live” is computed from current RoomPin listings in that area, where there are at least five of that type; the rest are indicative 2026 ranges. Each area name opens its own page with the places that are free right now. Most rooms live on RoomPin today are in Hinjewadi, Maan and Tathawade.

Pick by where your office is

Phase 1

The oldest part of the park and the closest to Wakad. Hinjewadi itself, Wakad and Tathawade keep the drive short. Baner and Balewadi work if you want a livelier neighbourhood and can give it 15 to 35 minutes each way.

Phase 2

Marunji borders Phase 2 and is one of the shortest commutes outside the park, with the Hinjewadi villages and Maan a few minutes further. From Wakad you cross Phase 1 first.

Phase 3

Phase 3 is in Maan, so Maan itself is the shortest commute, with Marunji next. From Wakad or further out, the drive runs through Phase 1 and 2 first, so allow extra time at the morning peak.

Pick by budget

PG beds are cheapest in Maan, Wakad and Punawale, from about ₹5,000 a month.
For a place of your own, a 1 BHK starts around ₹11,000 in Maan, Punawale and Marunji.
Aundh and Baner cost the most, with a 1 BHK at ₹15,000 – ₹27,000 in Aundh, so sharing a flat is how most people make them work. Find a flatmate in Aundh.

Before you decide

Try the drive at the time you would travelThe times above are outside the morning rush. At peak every one of them runs longer.
Check which gate you will useThe park is big enough that Phase 1 and Phase 3 are different commutes from the same flat.
Look at what is free before you settle on an areaThe perfect commute with nothing available is not an option this month. Each area's page shows what is live.
