Moving to Wakad? What it costs to move in

Updated November 2026

Across the bridge from the park, busy and well stocked

Rent is only part of what you pay on the day you move into Wakad. The deposit is usually the bigger number. Below is what a PG bed, a room and a whole flat cost to move into here, and what to check before any money changes hands.

Wakad is across the bridge from the IT park, and it is the first place a lot of Hinjewadi employees look. There are 1 and 2 BHK flats and PGs on most lanes, gyms and cafés everywhere, and the food stalls of Datta Mandir Road. Rent is a little higher than in the newer suburbs further out. People pay it for the short drive and for having everything a walk away.

Before you pay anything

  1. Visit Wakad in person before you pay, at the hour you would come homeA street looks different at 11am and at 9pm. Traffic, noise, parking and who is around all change.
  2. See the exact room you are being givenNot a similar one on another floor, not the show flat.
  3. Ask when the water runs in that Wakad buildingSupply timing and pressure vary street to street in Pune. Turn a tap on while you are standing there.
  4. Find out what sits on top of the rentMaintenance, electricity, water and internet are sometimes included and sometimes not. Compare the real monthly figure.
  5. Ask who else lives there, and the house rulesFood, guests, timings, cleaning. These end a sharing arrangement early, and they are easier to ask before you move in.
  6. Get the numbers in writing before any transferRent, deposit, notice period, deductions, brokerage. A message thread counts.
  7. Register the agreement, not only notarise itMaharashtra requires a leave and licence agreement to be registered whatever its length, and it can be done online. For 11 months of a ₹10,000 to ₹40,000 rent, duty and fees come to about ₹1,600 to ₹2,400.
  8. Never send a deposit to hold a place you have not seenIt is the most common way people lose money in a rental hunt. An owner or broker with a real place to rent will wait for you to see it.
