PG rent vs flat rent in Bangalore: what saves more?

Flats offer more independence; PGs bundle meals, cleaning, and sometimes utilities — your “effective rent” should include groceries and help if you rent a flat.

If you work long hours or are new to the city, a managed PG often reduces daily friction even if headline rent looks similar to a small flat.

Watch for deposit rules: PGs may charge 1–2 months; flats often need larger deposits plus brokerage in traditional markets.
