Area Overview
What makes Yerwada special
Yerwada sits on the northern bank of the Mula-Mutha between Bund Garden and the airport road, and it is one of the more mixed parts of Pune East — old settlement, institutional land and new commercial towers within the same few kilometres.
The Aga Khan Palace is here, where Gandhi was interned and where Kasturba Gandhi died, and it remains one of Pune’s most significant heritage sites. The Yerwada Central Jail also occupies a substantial tract.
Metro Line 2 has a Yerwada station, the commercial corridor along the airport road has drawn several large office developments, and the riverside stretches have seen premium residential towers over the last decade.

Why choose Yerwada?
Yerwada offers a Metro Line 2 station, an eighteen-minute airport run, riverside towers with genuine views, and the Aga Khan Palace on the doorstep — at prices well below Kalyani Nagar or Koregaon Park, both about ten minutes away. The trade-offs are a very mixed streetscape, institutional land breaking up the area, airport-road congestion, and older stock that varies considerably in quality.
