Area Overview
What makes Keshav Nagar special
Keshav Nagar sits south-east of Mundhwa on the Mula-Mutha, and it is the value entry point to the Pune East belt — the cheapest address in this zone by a clear margin.
Development here is recent and largely society-led, filling former agricultural and village land between Mundhwa and the Manjari side.
It works for people employed at Kharadi, Magarpatta or the Hadapsar IT belt who want the eastern position without eastern pricing. Social infrastructure is the trade-off — most of it means a drive.
