Working at Electronic City and figuring out where to live? This guide covers the best areas by total monthly cost — what you actually spend on rent and getting to work each day.
Share on WhatsAppElectronic City is South Bangalore's flagship IT zone — Infosys, Wipro, HCL, and dozens of other majors are headquartered here. It sits 18–25 km south of the city centre via Hosur Road (NH 44), one of Bangalore's busiest highways. The NICE Road flyover bypasses most of the congestion for commuters from West and South-West. Metro doesn't reach here yet. Budget ₹38,000–₹60,000/month for a decent 2BHK + daily commute from nearby areas.
