Two good options — but the right one depends on where you work. Here's the honest breakdown.

Warje saves ₹18,000/month on 2BHK rent compared to Baner — that's ₹216,000 per year. Over a typical 2-year rental tenure, that gap adds up to ₹432,000. Since Warje also has competitive commute times, it is the stronger all-round value pick.
Warje is in Central Pune; Baner is in Central-West Pune — they serve different office clusters. Professionals working in the Central belt will almost always find Warje faster; those in the Central-West corridor should favour Baner.
Neither area has Pune Metro access, so both require cab, auto, or own vehicle for most commutes. PMPML buses (₹900/month unlimited pass) serve both areas but substantially extend travel time on peak-hour routes.
Warje has the clear rent advantage — ₹18,000 cheaper per month for 2BHK.
