Area Overview
What makes Ambegaon special
Ambegaon adjoins Katraj on its eastern side and is where much of the newer society development in southern Pune has gone over the last fifteen years.
Ambegaon Budruk and Ambegaon Khurd make up the belt, running from the Katraj side toward Dhayari and the Sinhagad Road corridor.
It shares Katraj’s hills, lake access and Bharati Vidyapeeth cluster, but the housing stock is newer and prices sit slightly below. Many listings use Katraj and Ambegaon interchangeably, so confirm the exact location.

Why choose Ambegaon?

City International School is within a kilometre, yields run 4–4.5%, and the Metro Line 1 extension is under construction nearby. The trade-offs are thin local retail, no metro or railway station yet, and an airport run of nearly an hour.
