1. Ideally I would suggest you consider access to workplace as your primary criterion for accommodation
2. If you are married and your wife works, consider access to her workplace too.
3. if you have little kids, plse consider their access to school etc.

Thanks a ton Shankar,

I too hope to enjoy a nice time and also hope to meet fellow bhpians.

I am considering a place closer to my workplace only. As I am unmarried till date but will be getting married in next few months. My would-be wifey is a doc & only once she has settled down in Bangaore, she will be looking forward to work. So at this point of time I am considering a place close to my office.

Also I am not lookong for a bigger house as I have to manage the show for some time & the rent i am looking at is around 15K max.

Thanks once agian for your valuable suggestions
cheers,
pankaj

Hey Sam...

Thanks for all the help when I had dropped in June.
I have finally moved in to Bangalore from Hyderabad because I was not sure how I would really fit in considering some experiences on this board. Colleagues at my new work place had their jaws drop asking me why I had moved from Hyd of all the places.

Anyways now its been 4 weeks I have been here. 2 weeks I was at company accommodation after which I found an apartment on pure luck basis. I scouted around with a few brokers but was not impressed with the places and finally while back from work, on the Sarjapur ring road, walked into a place just to have a look. Was exactly the place I was looking for and the owner turned out to be from Hyd too and was considerate enough to ask me only 3 months deposit. Its 2bhk with lawn & all woodwork done. I am paying 18k including the pool and gym usage. Its the Saffron Square apartments. Anyone here from there?

My only grouse is that nothing is exactly walkable distance except for my work place. I am yet to bring my car and family.

I am surprised by the warm weather here though and I am finding it difficult to watch a F1 race.
I am still to buy all the essentials like washing machine, refrigerator and television.

Hey I'm about 2 months old in B'lore as well. Found a place near Pizza Hut in Kormangala. A 3 bhk for 16k month. For the time that I didn't have the TV I used to hop over to Legends of Rock, and watch the races there. The place has good ambience and a whole lot of F1 fans also go there. Does anybody from T-BHP go there?
