Housing options for first-timers in Bangalore

First things first – even if you’re a first-timer – Bangalore’s got a lot of housing options waiting for you. So you won’t have to land up in a dorm. Or worse, crash at a friend’s place, the kind you didn’t want to take a favour from. In fact, we suggest you book your place to stay ahead of time.

Now, scroll down and look at the different options available to take a house for rent in Bangalore. Also, bookmark this page so you can come back to it easily. Or else, it’ll be as difficult as going back to the airport after realising you forgot to collect your smaller bag. Imagine.

So what are the different housing options for first-time renters in Bangalore?

You might have preconceived dreams about living alone in a studio apartment in Bangalore. But for one reason or another – like the rent being too high – it’s always better to have all the options on the table. So read on.

• Local PGs
• Flats
• Co-living spaces
• Managed apartments

Local PGs

Local PGs are probably one of the more budget-friendly options out here. But here’s the problem, local PGs are just, well, local. And they’re the same as everywhere. Not-so-yum food. No regular cleaning. And definitely no fun things to do in the common rooms, other than watching an IPL match on old TV, at best. So if you’re looking for something super duper temporary and willing to sacrifice on the basic amenities in life, then go ahead.

Flats

Flats, or rather shared flats, are the most popular housing option in Bangalore. Now, we’re not saying they’re any bad – coz of course, you get the privacy of having your own room – but you still don’t get the amenities to make your daily life easier like in PGs. So yeah, like local PGs, even flats have a few cons that aren’t easy to ignore. Especially given the lack of time thanks to your hectic schedules. So keep that in mind, first-time renters.

Co-living spaces

Don’t get your mood down tho. Because you also have the option of co-living spaces. Sure, they might seem a bit pricey at first glance. But observe closely, and you’d realise they’re actually super economical tbh. After all, they have a dope list of amenities with fully furnished rooms too. So you save monies on renting furniture, ACs, electrical appliances etc.

On top of that, consider a co-living space like Stanza Living and you’d love the way we use tech to cut down your daily living hassles. Something that, in local PGs, one lazy uncle attempts to do and fails miserably.

Managed apartments

What if you wanna stay as far away from community living as the Delhi Capitals does from winning the IPL? In that case, we’ve got you covered too. All thanks to our managed apartments by Stanza Living. So these are flats where you get PG-like amenities. Like regular housekeeping. High-speed Wi-Fi. And of course, fully furnished rooms with a fully stocked kitchen.

Anyway, we’ve shared all the options for you. Now, it’s time for you to pick out the obvious best, and book your future room/flat/PG as soon as possible.
