Write a Review

I rent a small flat above my shop in Begum Bazar. For a wholesale trader, there is no better place in Hyderabad. I save a lot on transport as my business is right here. It is a bit of a chaotic place here, but for me, it is fine.

The location is central, but for the market, it is a daily struggle with noise, traffic, and crowds.

Afzal Gunj and its surrounding markets like Begum Bazar are a goldmine for commercial property. The returns on shops and godowns are immense.

I stay here because it is affordable and close to my college. The bus connectivity from the Central Bus Station (CBS) is excellent. The area is extremely crowded and noisy, which makes it difficult to study. It's a big compromise.

People from all over Telangana come here to buy wholesale goods. I rent out my property to traders and their staff. The property is never vacant, and the rent is good.

Getting buses to anywhere in Hyderabad is very easy from the main Afzal Gunj bus stop. Markets are right outside for daily shopping, though evening traffic gets a bit heavy on the main road.

Parking your car here is a huge headache daily. The lanes near the Central Library always get blocked with random vehicles and autos, making it impossible to drive smoothly in the evenings.

Living here is okay if you work near the High Court side, saves a lot of travel time. But the dust on the main roads is too much daily, and autos charge a flat 50 rs even for short distances.

Lots of cheap eating joints around here, so food is sorted. Finding a shared auto near the hospital junction is quick, NGL it saves a lot of money when going to college daily.

Footpaths are completely blocked by street vendors near Naya Pul, so walking is very difficult. Traffic never stops and crossing the road takes ages dangerous for older people who stay here.

Everything from clothes to groceries is available at wholesale prices nearby. Water comes only for 2 hours in the morning though have to store it daily, otherwise the area is fine.

Best spot for business because customers can reach easily from any part of the city using buses. Loading goods is smooth in the early mornings before the main junction gets crowded with traffic.

Good schools are located within 2 km, which is helpful. The streets are well lit at night, making the area feel safe to walk around after dinner, just avoid the heavy market lanes.

This area is completely choked with traffic every single afternoon. Buses smoke a lot at the terminal, and the smell from the open drains near the bridge makes it unbearable to stand outside for even 5 minutes.

Rents are decent here and houses never stay empty because of the wholesale markets around. But the roads are rarely repaired by GHMC, so potholes are a regular issue during the monsoon rains.
