Connectivity of Wagholi:
Wagholi is well-connected by various modes of transport, road, rail, and air. It is majorly served by a six-laned 15 km-long Nagar Road stretching from Bund Garden to Wagholi. This road passes through various prominent IT-driven areas such as Viman Nagar (9.5 km), Kalyani Nagar (11 km), and Kharadi (6.8 km). Nagar Road further connects the locality to Kharadi Bypass Road and Pune-Solapur Highway. Other prominent road networks in proximity include Chowki Dhani Road & Wagholi Kesnand Road.
The locality is also served by the Hadapsar Railway Station, which is the closest railway station to Wagholi (10 km) and the Pune Railway Station, which is 14 km away. The locality also has direct connectivity to Pune Airport, which is located just 11 km away, and can be reached by the Lohegaon-Wagholi Road. The area has extensive bus services, with Wagholi Bus Stand and Shivaji Nagar Bus Stand lying in close vicinity. In terms of metro connectivity, the locality is soon to get connected by the extension of the Vanaz - Ramwadi Metro Line, which is expected to be operational by 2021.
The proposed Ring Road Project (which would connect Pune with PCMC areas) also falls in this region and will be a major growth driver for housing demand. Additionally, the Mumbai-Bengaluru Infrastructure Corridor, the road connecting Eon IT Park through Nagar Road, and a flyover connecting Wagholi to Shikrapur are the major projects which are expected to push demand in this region. In addition, this micro-market is likely to be included in the Pune Municipal Corporation limits in the next few months, which may trigger rapid growth in the Wagholi’s real estate market.
Social Infrastructure of Wagholi
Wagholi offers an array of banks, hotels, cafes, grocery shops, coupled with various IT parks in proximity. The region is accessible through public transport and roads. Various IT companies/parks which are situated in Kharadi (including EON IT Park, and World Trade Center) are all located within a distance of 5-6 km from the locality.
The locality also has the presence of 6 to 7 schools, including Sanskriti School Wagholi Campus, and at least 5 hospitals, including Lifeline Hospital, within a radius of 3 km. Major malls within a 9-10 km radius include Phoenix Market City & Seasons Mall.
As the locality is a developing locality, it also faces a lot of challenges like traffic jams seen during rush hours, and no supply of municipal water. This makes it difficult for the residents and societies as they have to fetch water from the tankers to survive. The region also faces a lot of power cuts for long hours. However most societies have power backup facilities to tackle the issue. Presence of villages like Kesnand near the locality also provide safety and security challenges as the nearest police station, i.e. the Chandanagar Police Station is 6 km away.
Properties in Wagholi:
While homes and apartments in Wagholi are generally occupied by those who prefer a peaceful and quiet lifestyle, of late, the region is being occupied by working professionals who are looking for jobs near these IT & commercial hubs.
