Fed up of renting: My Hoodi/Venkateshpura dilemma

Hoodi / Venkateshpura — these areas keep coming up every time I shortlist something. Yaar, I'm so fed up of renting now, landlord ne phir rent badha diya. Finally taking the plunge, trying to figure out EMI vs rent math. I'm looking at a 2BHK, budget around ₹1.2 Cr, targeting projects like Puravankara or Godrej. But I really want to know about the real resident life here. Is it genuinely peaceful ya sirf weekend pe? Commute to Whitefield se kitna time lagta hai, traffic ka kya scene rehta hai? Schools nearby ka kya scene hai, especially for families with young kids? Also, safety for women and kids, especially in the evenings, is a big concern. Any insights on the day-to-day living experience would be super helpful, I don't want any hidden surprises after moving in. Thanks in advance!
