First home dilemma: Hemmiganahalli daily life?

After 3 months of searching for a 2BHK, I'm really torn about Hemmiganahalli. My initial budget for Whitefield or Sarjapur Road was just too tight for anything decent, like ₹1.2 Cr+ is common for a 2BHK there. So, I started looking further out. Found a few projects in the Hemmiganahalli / Bidadi corridor offering 2BHKs around ₹88 lakh, which is much more manageable for a first home.
