Hey ppl.. I live in mumbai currently and wil b moving to bangalore in mid october

My place of work will be global village on the outskirts towards west bangalore... i guess there are no residential areas thr.. so neway I cant live where i work... I would be ok with upto 15 kms of travel...

Can anyone suggest a good area to stay in? What would the rates be?

Iv read traffic is real bad .. but im used to bad t'fic in mum... all i want to know is if mysore road is also v crowded? Hows the traffic compared to VT in mumbai? Is it crowded and bad or crowded but orderly?

Traffic in Mysore road is better - as compared to Old madras road & Silkboard-Koramangala areas.

You can stay in Banashankari surroundings & travel by car to Global village would take not more than 30-45 Mins.

You can check in Rajarajeshwari nagar which is very near to Golbal village. Or even Kengeri which comes after Golbal village towards Mysore.

Other options are as you mentioned - Vijaya nagar, Nagarabhavi, RPC layout, Rajajinagar, Basavanagudi (wonderful residential area), Hanumanth nagar, Bank colony

Can i also know the demographies of the areas? where wud i find a more metro crowd? I read that basavanagudi, malleswaram have mostly a local population.. Which areas have a younger crowd?

There is no Younger or older crowd when it comes to Residential Areas,and yes,if U wanna catch up on Young crowd,U need to get to the heart of the City and the malls around and ofcourse,if U need a young crowd ,U wud be nearer to Wonderla,the water park,which is very good.This is on Mysore Rd ( Again depends on the interest U have for Water Sports)

The Road to Global Village is Straight and good and though there r Traffic Jams,its manageable due to the Good Roads and ofcourse the one other advantage U have is,the houses on Rent arnd Kengeri/Rajarajeshwari Nagar are affordable and also,Nearer to Global Village and the city has grown a lot way beyond Global Village and ideally speaking U r not away from the main city.

You could possibly also try jayanagar, which is another 10 mts away from Banshankari...its a more happenning place and closer to Kormangala and MG road.

Yes,jayanagar is also a very good place for shopping/eating out/Stroll etc. It connects, as Anil said,eitherways towards where U would be generally commuting and would enjoy hanging around

If you are looking for the shortest Transit time , then Kengeri Satellite town or Rajarajeshwarinagar would suffice. It won't take you more than 15 mins travel.

If you say some distance is ok, I would look at Basanvangudi or Shankarpuram. Younger crowd ? Weekends are there to Party away,

hsg1986 · Sep 27th, 2007, 18:58

We do aim to be a friendly and helpful forum; we try to be the best!

But we do ask that posts are in English, and we do not accept SMS (Txt) language in that.

On reason is that it is hard enough for many native English speakers to understand, but makes following the forum very difficult for our huge number of members to whom English is not their first languge.

Hope you understand. It's bcoz we don want ne language prob

For a good modern residential area basavangudi should be fine. Kengeri satellite town also not bad from the distance point of view. However, if you wanna stay with comopolitan crowd then try Jayanagar, Koramangla, Indiranagar, Some parts of airport road, BTM layout, etc

Hi there :-)

I'm going to work in Bangalore for one year and I'm looking for a place to stay. Could you tell me where are the good places (modern building, nice surroundings, international crowd, etc)?
My office will be on Cunninghalm road.
