About PG in Vadodara
Last updated: November 2026
Looking for a PG in Vadodara? This page compares PGs by area, starting rent and daily commute, and also covers your options if you are searching for a PG in Baroda
Vadodara, still called Baroda by most locals, splits into two very different PG markets. Students at Parul University and engineers at L&T Knowledge City need to live on the city's eastern edge, along Waghodia Road and Ajwa Road. Students at MSU Baroda and people working around Alkapuri need to stay central. Picking the wrong side can add close to an hour to every commute, so this guide is built around where you need to be each day, not just around price.

Eastern or Central Vadodara: Which Is Worth It?
The six properties fall into two clear groups, and the rent difference mostly reflects location and facilities rather than quality alone.
- Eastern PGs (Waghodia Road and Ajwa Road) run from โน9,199 to โน17,899. You get a short commute to Parul University or L&T Knowledge City, but central Vadodara is 30 to 50 minutes away. Good value if your weekdays are spent on the eastern side.
- Central PGs (Fatehgunj and Sayaji Bagh) start at โน16,699 to โน17,199. You pay more, but you are next to MSU Baroda and much closer to Alkapuri and the railway station, so you avoid a daily cross-city trip.
For students looking for a PG in Vadodara, the split is simple: the eastern properties suit Parul University, while the central options suit MSU Baroda. For a Parul student, paying extra to live centrally rarely makes sense, because the commute would be close to an hour each way. For an MSU student or someone working in Alkapuri, the higher rent of a central PG may be worth paying to avoid a long daily commute.
PG near Parul University Vadodara
Parul University sits well outside the city, past the Waghodia Road belt, so a PG near Parul University Vadodara is a very different search from a PG in central Vadodara.
- Christchurch House (men's, from โน9,199) is the budget pick, about 9 minutes from the main gate.
- Auckland House (unisex, from โน17,899) costs more but adds power backup and 24x7 security, and is open to both men and women.
- Ajwa Road properties are about 22 minutes away, a workable option if you also need to reach the city often.
Many students also compare a PG with a hostel near Parul University. Whether you are comparing a PG or a PG hostel in Vadodara, check the room occupancy, food arrangements, stay duration and house rules before choosing. Stay length, notice period and move-in dates depend on each operator's policy.
PG near L&T Knowledge City Vadodara
L&T Knowledge City is one of the largest employers on Vadodara's eastern side, and Ajwa Road is the most practical base for it.
- Wellington House (men's, from โน13,599) and Hamilton House (unisex, from โน12,999) are about 14 minutes from L&T Knowledge City.
- The Waghodia Road properties are about 28 minutes away.
Ajwa Road works well for a PG for working professionals in Vadodara. It is also closer to the city than Waghodia Road, about 33 minutes from Alkapuri compared with about 51 minutes.
PG in Vadodara for Male
Men looking for a dedicated men's PG have two options on this page:
- Christchurch House: best for Parul University students on a budget.
- Wellington House: best for L&T Knowledge City and other eastern workplaces.
The unisex properties also take male residents. Oslo House is the one to look at if you study at MSU Baroda or work in central Vadodara. Shared rooms in unisex properties are usually allotted to residents of the same gender.
PG in Vadodara for Female
Women can choose from one women-only residence and three unisex properties:
- Drammen House in Fatehgunj is women-only and close to MSU Baroda. It suits women studying at MSU or working in central Vadodara.
- Oslo House (central), Hamilton House (Ajwa Road) and Auckland House (Waghodia Road) are unisex. Shared rooms are usually matched by gender, but confirm room allocation with the operator. Hamilton House and Auckland House both list biometric entry and 24x7 security surveillance.
As with any girls PG in Vadodara, pick the area by your daily commute first: Fatehgunj and Sayaji Bagh for MSU, Ajwa Road for L&T Knowledge City, and Waghodia Road for Parul University.
Which Area of Vadodara Should You Choose?
InstaDwell's six featured properties are on Waghodia Road, Ajwa Road, Fatehgunj and Sayaji Bagh. The other areas below are included to help you understand the city, not because we list properties there.
- Waghodia Road: Best for Parul University students. Close to campus but far from the city centre.
- Ajwa Road: Best for L&T Knowledge City employees. A middle ground between Parul and the city. Hamilton House also covers searches for a PG near Vrundavan.
- Fatehgunj, Sayajigunj and Sayaji Bagh: Best for MSU Baroda students. The natural area for a PG in Fatehgunj or a PG near MSU Baroda.
- Alkapuri: Best for working professionals in central offices and frequent train travellers. Vadodara's main commercial district, close to Vadodara Junction, which is where searches for a PG in Alkapuri Vadodara or a PG near the railway station point.
- Akota: Best for people working in Alkapuri who want a quieter street. It sits just south-west of Alkapuri, so the office commute stays short.
- Gotri: Best for people who want a western neighbourhood with a short run into Alkapuri.
- Subhanpura: Best for those working on the Race Course and Gorwa side of western Vadodara.
- Karelibaug: Best for people who want to live central but east of the river, with MSU and Fatehgunj a short ride away. It sits close to the Vishwamitri river, so ask about monsoon waterlogging before booking.
- Sama: Best for those working in northern Vadodara along the Sama Savli Road side.
- Manjalpur: Best for working professionals around the Makarpura industrial area in the south.
