Location is the first question every buyer asks, and Wakad has a clear answer: it sits at one of the most important road junctions in west Pune. Here is how the neighbourhood connects to the rest of the city.
Where Wakad sits on the map
Wakad lies in north-west Pune, within the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation limits, with the PIN code 411057. To the east are Pimple Nilakh, Pimple Saudagar and Aundh. To the south are the Mula River, Baner, Pashan and Balewadi. To the north are Thergaon, Akurdi, Chinchwad and Ravet, and Hinjawadi lies to the west.
Prima Altiora is planned in Vinode Nagar, Wakad, so all of the connections below are within the same neighbourhood catchment.
The Wakad Chowk advantage
Wakad Chowk is the junction where the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and NH-48 (the Mumbai-Bengaluru Highway) meet. For residents that means quick access to the highway for weekend trips towards Mumbai or Bengaluru, and a direct road link to the rest of Pune.
The same junction is where a station of Pune Metro Line 3 is planned. Read more in our guide to Metro Line 3.
Main roads and BRT corridors
- Bhosari-Wakad BRT Road, linking Wakad with Bhosari and the Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial belt
- Sangavi-Kiwale BRT Road and Aundh-Ravet BRT Road, connecting Wakad with Aundh and Ravet
- Kalewadi Phata-Dehu Alandi BRT route, Datta Mandir Road and the Katraj-Dehu bypass
These arterial roads make it possible to reach Baner, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar and Pimpri-Chinchwad without going through the city centre.
Public transport and rail
The Purple Line of Pune Metro at PCMC is roughly 7 km from Wakad, and Pimpri railway station is around 6 to 8 km away, according to locality listings. Local buses and BRT services cover the neighbourhood.
Peak-hour traffic on the Wakad-Hinjewadi stretch is heavy; see our commute guide for realistic expectations.
How connectivity shows up in daily life
Good connectivity is not one road, it is having a second option when the first is jammed. From Wakad you can take the expressway service roads, the BRT corridors towards Aundh and Ravet, or local roads through Pimple Saudagar, depending on where you are headed and what the traffic looks like.
For weekend travel, the highway junction at Wakad Chowk is a clear advantage. Families planning regular trips towards Mumbai or the Sahyadri hill stations will spend less time reaching the highway than residents of neighbourhoods deeper inside the city.
