Area Overview
What makes Kesnand special
Kesnand lies east of Wagholi, past the main society belt, where the Nagar Road corridor gives way to farmland and open country.
Development here is very early. A handful of projects have launched on former agricultural land, with the village still dominant and open land in most directions.
It is bought on the expectation that the Wagholi corridor keeps extending east. That may prove right, but everything about it — roads, water, retail, healthcare — is still ahead rather than in place.

Why choose Kesnand?
Kesnand offers village plots and early society stock at the lowest prices in this zone, with open farmland, Wagholi eight minutes and MIT ADT about 8 km. But it is very early-stage: roads, water, retail and healthcare are all still ahead rather than in place, the nearest hospital of scale is about 22 km, and it is bought largely on the expectation that the Wagholi corridor keeps extending east. Assess it as land with a long horizon.
