Renting in Wakad, Pune: What to Know
Last updated 2026-08-14
34 active listings in Wakad right now.
Wakad sits directly alongside the Hinjewadi IT corridor, within Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation limits, and functions as one of the most popular residential bases for people working in Hinjewadi without living inside the IT park zone itself. Wakad–Hinjewadi Road provides a direct link to the park, and the locality also sits near the Mumbai–Bangalore Highway. On HiOwner, Wakad listings lean heavily toward shared/flatmate arrangements, with a smaller number of full-house options — this guide covers the real numbers and what to check before renting here.

Living in Wakad
Wakad is a well-established, fairly self-contained residential suburb — it has grown alongside Hinjewadi's IT workforce but has its own identity beyond just being a commuter base, including the DY Patil Cricket Stadium as a genuine local landmark. The tenant profile skews toward IT and corporate professionals working in the neighbouring Hinjewadi park, plus a meaningful number of people sharing flats to split costs. Current HiOwner listings for Wakad are overwhelmingly shared/flatmate arrangements, so if you specifically want a full house to yourself, expect fewer options here than in some other localities.
Rental options
| Type | Suits | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | Singles or couples wanting their own space | Smallest category of current Wakad listings. |
| 2 BHK | Couples, or flatmates splitting a flat | The most common size among current Wakad listings. |
| 3 BHK | Families or larger shared groups | Second-largest category — a real option, mostly listed as shared. |
| Flatmates / shared rooms | IT professionals wanting to split costs near Hinjewadi | The dominant listing type in Wakad right now — full-house options are a small minority of current inventory. |

What affects rent here
- Furnishing level — the large majority of current Wakad listings are fully furnished, and that's reflected in typical asking rents
- Distance from Wakad–Hinjewadi Road vs. quieter interior lanes
- Floor, building age, and whether the society has lift/parking/security
- Whether the listing is full-house or shared — confirm which before assuming the quoted rent is for the whole flat
- Whether maintenance, water, and electricity are included or billed separately
Connectivity
Wakad connects to the Hinjewadi IT park directly via Wakad–Hinjewadi Road, and sits near the Mumbai–Bangalore Highway for wider access across Pune and beyond. This makes it a practical base for anyone working in Hinjewadi who'd rather not live inside the park's immediate traffic zone. As with any Pune commute, actual travel time depends heavily on time of day — check your specific route at the hours you'd actually be travelling.
Daily life
Wakad is well served for daily needs, with grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes dense along the main roads. Xion Mall is a nearby option for bigger shopping trips. For healthcare, Lifepoint Multispeciality Hospital and Surya Mother and Child Care Super Speciality Hospital both have a presence in the area, alongside Ruby Hall Clinic's Hinjewadi location nearby. For education, EuroSchool Wakad is a locally established option. The DY Patil Cricket Stadium is a well-known landmark in the wider area.

+ Middle ground on cost with some fixtures in place
– You'll still need to bring or buy some items
Best for: Renters wanting some setup without full furnished pricing
Unfurnished
+ Lowest rent, full control over setup
– Least common option currently listed — limited choice, plus upfront furnishing cost
Best for: Longer-term renters moving with their own furniture
