Check the commute table to see which one is genuinely closer to where you work.
Viman Nagar has Pune Metro connectivity while Kharadi does not. If your office is near a metro line, Viman Nagar's ₹855/month metro pass can save ₹5,000–₹12,000/month compared to daily cab fares — a saving that can close or reverse any rent premium Viman Nagar might carry.
