Area Overview
What makes Pashan special
Pashan sits between Baner, Bavdhan and the university belt, and it is defined by what occupies its land — NCL, NCRA, DRDO establishments and the Pashan lake keep much of the area institutional and low-density.
That has preserved tree cover and open space in a way the surrounding IT suburbs have not managed. The lake is a designated bird habitat and one of the better green spaces in west Pune.
Residential stock sits mainly along Pashan Road and the Sus side, with a settled academic and professional population rather than the transient IT crowd of Baner.

Why choose Pashan?
Pashan is the quiet, green counterpart to Baner — the lake, the institutional green belt, NCL and NCRA nearby, Loyola High School within a kilometre, and a settled academic population rather than a transient one. Baner is ten minutes away for everything it lacks. Against that: limited retail of its own, no operating metro or railway station, and Jupiter Hospital about 7 km.
