Flatmates & Roommates in Yerawada, Pune
Updated 30 Sep 2026
Yerawada is an old, dense working part of Pune between the river, the airport road and Nagar Road. It is not glossy, but it has something the newer eastern suburbs do not: a Metro Line 2 station and a ten-to-fifteen minute ride to Koregaon Park, Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar and the railway station. That makes it a sensible choice for someone who works in a different part of east Pune each month and would rather travel by rail than by bike.
Who lives here
Professionals working in Viman Nagar, Kalyani Nagar and the city centre, staff of the airport and nearby government and institutional offices, and people who want a central address without paying Koregaon Park rents.
What's nearby. Pune airport and Airport Road, the Kalyani Nagar and Viman Nagar office blocks, Yerawada Metro station, and central Pune reachable by rail.
Where to live, area by area
Rents below are indicative ranges for a private room in a shared flat, before deposit. Confirm the number with the person before you commit to anything.
One of the better-planned residential pockets. Older low-rise buildings, mixed families, and a ten-minute ride to Kalyani Nagar. Rooms are usually in family flats rather than dedicated PGs.
₹7,000 – ₹13,000 / month for a private room
The original village core, dense with lanes, shops and street food. Walkable to the Metro station and cheap, but busy and cramped in places.
₹6,000 – ₹11,000 / month for a private room
Along the main road toward the airport. Newer buildings and better parking, with traffic noise and flight-path noise on the upper floors.
₹7,500 – ₹14,000 / month for a private room
The western fringe, closest to Koregaon Park and the river. Slightly more expensive, quieter, and the shortest ride to the city centre.
₹8,000 – ₹15,000 / month for a private room
How long it actually takes to get places
| Destination | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Kalyani Nagar / Viman Nagar | 10–20 min by road; the Kalyani Nagar bridge is the bottleneck |
| Koregaon Park | 10–15 min |
| Pune railway station | 15–25 min, or Metro Line 2 in about the same time |
| Kharadi / EON IT Park | 25–40 min via Nagar Road |
What it actually costs per month in Yerawada
Rent is the number people compare, and it is rarely the number that decides anything. This is the realistic all-in figure for one person sharing a flat in Yerawada.
| What you pay | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Room rent (private, shared flat) | ₹6,000 – ₹13,000 |
| Deposit (one-off) | ₹12,000 – ₹26,000 |
| Maintenance & utilities | ₹1,200 – ₹2,500 |
| Food | ₹4,500 – ₹7,000 |
| Local transport | ₹500 – ₹1,800 (Metro Line 2 or fuel) |
| Realistic monthly total | ₹12,000 – ₹23,000 |
The deposit is the part that catches people out — Pune commonly asks two months up front and some landlords ask more. Read the security deposit guide before you hand anything over, and get the refund terms written on the receipt.
Flatmate, roommate or PG — which one do you actually want?
The words get used interchangeably and they are not the same thing, which matters when you are searching.
- A flatmate shares the flat but has their own room. You split rent and bills, cook or order separately, and keep your own space. This is what most working professionals in Yerawada mean when they say flatmate.
- A roommate shares the room itself. Cheapest option by a wide margin — often 40 to 50 percent less than a private room — and common among students and first-jobbers who are saving hard.
- A PG gives you a bed with meals and cleaning handled, plus house rules and often a gate timing. Simpler to start, less freedom, and once you split a flat three ways the cost difference usually disappears.
Bunkd covers all three. You set whether you want your own room or are happy sharing one, and the matching works the same way either direction. If a PG is what you are after, the honest PG versus flatshare comparison is worth five minutes before you sign.
When to look
Yerawada has no seasonal rush. Stock follows job moves rather than intakes, with the tightest windows in January to March and July to September. Because many landlords are long-term family owners, rooms tend to be posted informally by existing tenants first and reach portals late.
What to check before you pay anything
- Check the flight path. Upper floors on Airport Road and near the runway are loud in the morning and late evening.
- Ask about the building's age and the wiring, especially in older Yerawada Gaon lanes.
- Confirm how far the flat is from the Metro station on foot, not on the map.
- Meet the family or owner if the flat is in an owner-occupied building. House rules differ, and guest policies can be strict.
- Look at the street at night. Yerawada is densely lived-in but some lanes are poorly lit.
Finding the person, not just the room
Most flatshares fail on lifestyle, not on rent. Bunkd asks the things that actually decide whether living together works — sleep schedule, cleanliness, social battery, guest policy, food preference and your one real dealbreaker — and matches on those. You swipe through people, match when it is mutual, and chat inside the app before anyone shares a phone number.
If you have not found a flat yet, Squad Mode lets you match with other people searching in Yerawada so you can pool budgets and take a 2BHK or 3BHK together. Splitting a bigger flat is almost always cheaper per person than renting a single room alone — the rent split calculator works out a fair division when the rooms are not the same size.

Common questions
How much is a room in a shared flat in Yerawada?
A private room is roughly ₹6,000 to ₹13,000 a month. Yerawada Gaon and Shastri Nagar are cheaper; the Bund Garden edge and Airport Road buildings are the top end. A shared room is often ₹4,000 to ₹7,000.
Is Yerawada a good place to live if I work in Viman Nagar?
Yes, it is one of the cheaper options with a 10 to 20 minute commute. You give up the polish of Viman Nagar but keep the Metro as a backup.
Is there a Metro in Yerawada?
Metro Line 2 has a Yerawada station. It runs between Vanaz and Ramwadi, so it connects toward Deccan and the railway station. Check the walking distance from the flat itself.
Is Yerawada noisy?
The main roads are, and the flight path affects parts of it. Interior lanes in Shastri Nagar are quieter. Visit at different times of day.
Is Bunkd free in Yerawada?
Yes. No brokerage, and free to sign up, swipe and chat.
