What drives rent
- Distance to your workplace and the metro.
- Schools, hospitals and daily shopping nearby.
- Building quality, amenities, parking and furnishing.
- The tenant mix the area attracts, such as families, couples or professionals sharing.

| Serilingampally | Large residential area with a range of apartment types | Families and those looking for more choice of home size |
Gachibowli
Home to the Financial District and many offices, with a wide supply of newer apartments. Check the commute at peak hours, since traffic around the main junctions is heavy.
Madhapur
Close to HITEC City, with restaurants, retail and leisure. It is busy and dense, so check noise and parking.
Kondapur
An established residential area with schools, hospitals and retail, between HITEC City and Gachibowli. See our guide to Kondapur.
Ameerpet
Central and well connected, with the metro interchange between the Red and Blue lines and many coaching centres.
Serilingampally
A large residential area with a wide range of homes. Check the distance to your workplace and the quality of roads and services in the specific colony.
How to check rents yourself
- Compare at least five current listings for the same type of home in the same building or street.
- Ask a resident or the association what the last few tenants paid.
- Compare furnished and unfurnished listings separately.
- Ask about the security deposit, maintenance charge and who pays for repairs.
- Check the lease for the lock-in, notice period and escalation.
For landlords
Match the home to the area’s tenant. A well-kept home near transport and schools lets faster than a larger home without them. Compare the rent you can expect with your loan and holding costs before buying to let, and consider professional property management if you live elsewhere. See our guide to buying land versus a rental property.
