Area Overview
What makes Wanowrie special
Wanowrie sits between Camp and Kondhwa on the southern side of the city, and it is one of the more settled parts of this zone — established well before the NIBM and Undri corridors were built out.
Cantonment influence runs through it: parts adjoin the Pune Cantonment and the Salunke Vihar defence belt, which has kept tree cover and lower density along several stretches.
Ruby Hall Clinic’s Wanowrie branch, the Lexicon school and Salunke Vihar’s green belt anchor the area, and Camp is about ten minutes north.

Why choose Wanowrie?
Wanowrie is the settled choice in south Pune: Camp ten minutes north, Ruby Hall Clinic about a kilometre, Lexicon International within one, and cantonment-adjacent tree cover that keeps parts genuinely low-density. It was established long before the NIBM and Undri corridors. The trade-offs are no metro or railway station, an airport run of about thirty-five minutes, and cantonment tenure on some plots that needs checking.
