Area Overview
What makes Magarpatta City special
Magarpatta City is India’s best-known walk-to-work township. Built from 1998 on 430 acres of farmland pooled by the Magar family and other local landowners, it combines an IT park, housing, schools, a hospital and retail inside one walled estate.
The landowner-cooperative model is what makes it unusual — the original farmers became shareholders rather than being bought out, and the township is still managed that way.
Cybercity, the IT park, employs tens of thousands. Residents can genuinely walk to work, to school and to the shops, which almost nothing else in Pune offers at this scale.

Why choose Magarpatta City?
Magarpatta City delivers something almost nothing else in Pune does: you can genuinely walk to work, to school and to the shops. Vibgyor High is within 500 m, the Cybercity campuses five minutes on foot, Noble Hospital 2 km, and the township has its own greens, cycling tracks and clubhouses. It is also very safe. The trade-offs are high maintenance charges, yields near 3–3.5%, and the enclosed quality that suits some people and not others.
