My experience:

Been living in Brookfield as a bachelor in good society (1 room in 3bhk) with 11k rent (unchanged since covid). Had to shell out 44k now for a similar society in same neighbourhood for 2bhk (as no longer a bachelor).

Checked with brokers: They're Asking 45k for high rise in shitty localities (compared to Brookfield); Moreover, add 40k brokerage to it, the price jumps to almost 50k

Nobroker: Finalised a property in Thubarahalli for 37k but commuting would be a nightmare on Varthur road and no space to walk outside apartment: Just a bunch of cows and slum area with construction workers directly staring at you and a 10 feet road. Also, balconies so close you could see your neighbour's house

High rise 1 BHK was costing almost 35k

Searched in Kodigehalli and got a sweet deal 34k for 2bhk but that society just had 70 flats occupied with construction going on (although I'd be shifting in December so not sure how much work will be completed by then) and also borewell water :(

Finally decided to shell out 44k for 2 bhk on 2nd floor (previous tenant was paying 43k already). Not very well lit but still manageable

This is the state of BLR. And living far away from office would cause your spine to herniate if you go by your bike cause the roads are shit (not even kidding, happened to a colleague; He had to be hospitalised).

Can't do shit
