Made a rough Kolkata 2BHK rent map. Tell me where I’m wrong
Tried putting together a practical snapshot of what a decent 2BHK tends to cost across major Kolkata areas right now because “Kolkata rent” as a single number is honestly meaningless.
New Town, Salt Lake and Ballygunge/Gariahat obviously sit on the higher side because of office demand, location premium and newer projects in some pockets, while areas like Garia, Patuli, Behala, Joka, Baguiati, Teghoria and Barasat/Madhyamgram still look more practical if budget matters.
That said, rent alone never tells the full story because maintenance, furnishing, exact lane, building age, owner vs broker, metro access and commute pain can change the real cost a lot.
This is meant to be a useful snapshot, not a perfect index, so if you are currently renting or recently searched, comment your area + rent + BHK and help improve Version 2.
