Finding a roommate or flatmate in Bengaluru
People looking for shared flats in Bengaluru most often search in HSR Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Whitefield, Marathahalli and Electronic City. Most people choose an area by commute to Outer Ring Road, Whitefield or Electronic City, since traffic makes a 10 km trip slow; the Purple, Green and Yellow metro lines help if you live near a station.
A private room in a shared flat in Bengaluru typically costs roughly ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 a month, depending on the area, furnishing and whether the room has its own bathroom. Landlords usually ask for a deposit of one to three months' rent, and more in some cities, so agree on who holds the deposit and how it is split before anyone moves in.
Before you commit, visit the flat in person, meet the people you'll live with, and agree on the basics: how rent and bills are split, whether there is a cook or maid, guests, food habits and quiet hours. Namaste Hub listings show these preferences up front so you can skip flats that won't suit you.
