There is a best area for your office, your budget and the people you live with, and traffic decides more than any list. So this page starts from who you are. Each answer carries our rents, read in October 2026, and the office parks where most people work.
The short answer
Bellandur, Marathahalli, Kudlu. Society 2 BHK ₹46,000 to ₹57,250.
Whitefield, Mahadevapura, Marathahalli. Society 2 BHK ₹40,000 to ₹48,545. Whitefield has 6 operational metro stations in our register; Bellandur has none.
Kudlu, HSR Layout. 1 BHK flats ₹13,000 to ₹15,000.
Kudlu, Whitefield, Mahadevapura, HSR Layout. 1 BHK flat medians ₹13,000 to ₹15,000.
Sarjapur, Mahadevapura, HSR Layout: the lowest society 2 BHK asks, ₹26,500 to ₹45,500.
Sarjapur, Kudlu, Mahadevapura, Whitefield: society 3 BHK ₹36,000 to ₹62,500.
All rents are owners' asking rents on public listings: societies read 7 Oct 2026 to 20 Oct 2026, flats read 7 Oct 2026. An agreed rent can be lower.
If you work in IT: start from your tech park
Pick the park first. Then pick from the societies closest to it. Each park's own page lists them by distance; the figures below are the ones each page states, read 13 Oct 2026. Typical is the middle of the societies' own medians.

Near a park the 2 BHK ask barely changes from one park to the next. Choose the shortest trip, not the cheapest park. The road is longer than any straight line, and the Outer Ring Road at 9 am can turn 4 km into forty minutes.
If you are a fresher on a budget
Most first jobs start below the rent of a gated society. A flat in a standalone building costs much less. NoBroker owner listings within 2.5 km of each area's centre, active in the 90 days to 7 Oct 2026.
1 BHK flat ₹13,000 (159 listings); 1 RK ₹8,000 (43 listings).
1 BHK flat ₹14,000 (212 listings); 1 RK ₹10,000 (33 listings).
1 BHK flat ₹15,000 (131 listings); 1 RK ₹10,000 (37 listings).
1 BHK flat ₹15,000 (161 listings); 1 RK ₹10,000 (49 listings).
1 BHK flat ₹15,000 (51 listings); 1 RK ₹10,000 (19 listings).
- Whitefield has the metro. Our register counts 6 operational metro stations there and none in Bellandur. A flat near a station can replace an auto ride.
- Month one is the hard part. The deposit is several months of rent before the first month is paid.
If you are a couple
Two things matter: a 2 BHK you can afford, and two offices you can both reach. The 2 BHK in a gated society, read 7 Oct 2026 to 20 Oct 2026:
₹26,500 (52 societies, 294 listings).
₹40,000 (23 societies, 70 listings).
₹45,500 (4 societies, 15 listings).
₹46,000 (22 societies, 65 listings).
₹47,000 (42 societies, 132 listings).
₹48,545 (11 societies, 54 listings).
₹57,250 (24 societies, 60 listings).
₹91,250 (4 societies, 10 listings).
Marathahalli sits between the Outer Ring Road parks and the Whitefield and Mahadevapura parks, so it comes up when two offices pull two ways.
If you are a family
A family needs a 3 BHK, a school nearby and an office within reach. Schools are the register's counts within 3 km of the parks in each area, from the park pages; we have checked CBSE affiliation for only some, so a count is not a ranking.
3 BHK in a society ₹36,000 (45 societies, 220 listings).
3 BHK in a society ₹55,000 (24 societies, 92 listings). Schools within 3 km of its parks: 69 to 72.
3 BHK in a society ₹61,000 (24 societies, 55 listings). Schools within 3 km of its parks: 29 to 43.
3 BHK in a society ₹62,500 (37 societies, 116 listings). Schools within 3 km of its parks: 31 to 32.
3 BHK in a society ₹75,250 (14 societies, 29 listings). Schools within 3 km of its parks: 32 to 44.
3 BHK in a society ₹77,250 (42 societies, 148 listings). Schools within 3 km of its parks: 29 to 34.
3 BHK in a society ₹78,500 (7 societies, 20 listings). Schools within 3 km of its parks: 79.
3 BHK in a society ₹1,11,250 (14 societies, 49 listings).
3 BHK in a society ₹1,24,500 (5 societies, 15 listings).
Ask the society about its rules before you visit. Pets, maid entry, parking and move-in charges differ by society.
What we did not rank
- Koramangala and Indiranagar: few gated societies list homes there, so their society figures are thin. Their flats are on the cost of living page.
- Manyata and Electronic City: large office areas, but we have no area rent read for them yet.
- Floods, water and traffic by street: we do not hold that data, so we do not score areas on it.
Tell us your office. We find the area.
Tell us your office, your budget and who is moving. We send you the areas and the societies that fit, with the asks we read and the distance to your office. When you have chosen, we introduce a broker we trust in that area to show you homes.
