Area Overview
What makes Handewadi special
Handewadi sits south of Hadapsar on the road toward Saswad, between the Undri belt and the Bhekrai Nagar side. It was farmland until the 2010s.
Development here is society-led and recent, drawing buyers who work at Magarpatta, Hadapsar or the NIBM corridor but want newer stock at lower prices.
The Handewadi road links north to Hadapsar in about fifteen minutes. Social infrastructure is thin and the road network is still improving.
