Electronic City, Bangalore
Bangalore's largest IT park with Infosys, Wipro, and HCL campuses. The most affordable major tech area in Bangalore: 1BHK ₹13,000-15,000, 2BHK ₹20,000-24,000. Rapidly developing but still lacks the established neighbourhood feel of Indiranagar or Koramangala.
Walking distance to Phase 1 & 2. 40-50 min to city centre via NICE Road or Hosur Road. Elevated expressway reduces travel time during non-peak hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest rent in Electronic City?
1BHK unfurnished starts ₹11,000-13,000 in new budget apartment complexes in Phase 2. Furnished goes to ₹15,000-17,000. Sharing a 2BHK (₹20,000) means ₹10,000/person — the cheapest decent option in Bangalore.
Is it safe?
Generally safe due to police presence around IT parks and security personnel from the companies. Residential areas farther from the parks have less street lighting — auto travel at night is recommended over walking.
Why is it so much cheaper than Whitefield?
Less established infrastructure, newer and less curated development, limited restaurants/cafes outside the IT parks, and farther from central Bangalore. Quality of life is lower but rent is 20-30% cheaper for the same apartment type.
