Thought this post might help some of you who are planning to move this year and don't have much time to explore and decide - the main question is always where should I stay to start with?
I have covered this a bit earlier but let me try to give some specific pointers ...
The place you pick depends on your work location. Normally, finding a school is not that big of a challenge since there are international schools in most of the locations. However, finding a balance is bit tough. However, if you are going to start with renting an apartment, that makes it easier to look for a place in a year or so. Even if you have a house in a 'not-so-close' to work area, consider renting a place closer to work for a year or so.
For the context here, I am assuming you are from a high-tech industry.

- If your workplace is closer to Electronic City, consider BTM Layout, HSR Layout or Electronic City itself.
- JP Nagar, Banashankari, BTM Layout, Bannergatta Road etc would work for Electronics City, Domlur area, ORR-Sarjapur Road. However, you are going thru' busy ORR and expect bit of longer commutes.
- If your workplace is closer to Sarjapur Road area of Outer Ring Road, consider HSR layout, Sarjapur Road or Marathhalli area.
- If your workplace is closer to Marathhalli, Mahadevpur, KR Puram, consider Marathhalli/Whitefield area.
- If your workplace is in Whitefield, consider Marathhalli/Whitefield area.
- If your workplace is in Hebbal, consider HBR Layout, KR Puram area. Marathhalli, Whitefield area also would work but bit of a commute.
Would like to hear from you, if you are a reader - don't just go away after reading. Please post your thoughts....
Hello Mohan,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very informative. Just a few more questions. Our office is in Marthahalli/ORR. Is Whitefield very far away? I am looking for a good school for my 6th and 3rd grader. We want to stay close to school but not too far from office too. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback...
ReplyDeleteMarathhalli/ORR is definitely at a comfortable commute distance from Whitefield. Also, you are against the traffic since most of the people are travelling to Whitefield/ITPL from other areas.
There are many good international schools in the Varthur-Sarjapur Road belt, like Greenwood High, Oakridge, DPS, TISB, Inventure etc.
Also, there are many apartment complexes on the Varthur Road area and Whitefield which you can start with.
Hope this helps...
