If you're building a home
Rajgurunagar already has what a family uses every day: schools, hospitals, the market and the taluka offices. Chakan's industrial belt is about 12 km away for work. Read more on NA plots in Rajgurunagar.
If you're buying for a business
Chakan's MIDC area has a large daily workforce, which creates demand for shops, eateries, offices and service businesses. Before buying, check the rental or footfall demand for your specific use. Read more on NA plots in Chakan.
Applies to both
- The specific plot's title, NA order and approved layout matter more than which town it's in. Use our verification checklist.
- Announced infrastructure such as the Pune Ring Road and the proposed Pune–Nashik rail link can change timelines. Don't base a purchase only on a future project.
- Visit both at peak hours. Traffic through Chakan can add a lot of travel time.
