The BIG Move

tish · Jun 11th, 2008, 21:33

Hi there!

My husband got a job in Hyderabad, so we will be moving there from South Africa shortly. What I would like to know is, what is the living expenses like in Hyderabad? Food prices, medical cost etc... We have two children (2.5 and 1)so we will be looking for a place with at least 3 bedrooms and a little garden (if possible, and because this is only for one year, we would like a furnished home. What is a good rate for renting a place like this in Jubilee Hills? Is there any other areas that is more or less the same as Jubilee Hills? Will we need our own car? Or can we make use of public transport?

A furnished 3 bedroom apartment in Jubilee Hills can cost anywhere from Rs.40,000 - Rs.60,000. The apartment complex may/may not have a garden.

An independent house can cost around 80k to 100k per month.

You would definitely need your own car. Public transportation is not very convinient.

Budget for food will depend on how often you like to eat out and where. Whether you're a vegeterian / non-vegeterian etc

I found this earlier thread which discusses living expenses in Hyderabad, i.e. food, cars etc. Check it out:
