Area Overview
What makes Sanghvi (Sangvi) special
Sangvi sits at the southern edge of the PCMC area, on the Pune city border. Old Sangvi and New Sangvi run down to the Mula river, with Aundh directly across it.
That position is the whole point. It is the closest part of the PCMC belt to Aundh, University Road and central Pune, which makes it a genuinely different proposition from the industrial towns further north.
Housing is a mix of older Sangvi society stock and newer towers, with the Kalewadi and Dattawadi sides holding denser, lower-priced housing. Metro Line 1 runs about 3 km east at Phugewadi.

Why choose Sanghvi (Sangvi)?
Sangvi is the closest PCMC address to Pune city. Aundh is eight minutes across the river, Shivajinagar twenty, the university nine kilometres, and Metro Line 1 about 3 km east — at prices below Aundh and Pimple Saudagar. The trade-offs are high density in Old Sangvi and Kalewadi, no railway station of its own, and river-adjacent flooding risk in the low-lying stretches.
