Posted on September 14, 2025 by Team RoomAdda
Moving into a new city can be so many things at the same time – scary, exciting, thrilling, terrifying. A completely new city, new routine, new people, everything is changing, such a mixed set of feelings. And if you are a girl moving to Bangalore- India’s buzzing tech and student hub- safety is always gonna stay in your subconscious mind.
So let's talk about this honestly.
Are PGs actually safe for girls in Bangalore?
The short answer is: yes — if you choose smartly.

The Reality of PG Safety in Bangalore
Bangalore had multiple PGs scattered around different student-heavy areas, and some are even especially designed for girls, with proper security systems and strict house rules for their safety.
Here’s what most good girls’ PGs in the city already have:
  • 24/7 security guards or CCTV surveillance
  • Biometric or digital entry systems
  • Strict visitor check-ins
  • Separate living spaces and staff for women’s wings
  • Emergency helplines and wardens are available on-call
In other words, the city has mastered the art of providing safe and secure PGs for girls.

The Red Flags
While many PGs are safe and a perfect option to consider for living, not all are equally well-managed. And this is where your caution comes into the picture.
A few warning signs to look for:
  • No security personnel or working CCTV
  • Poorly lit entryways or staircases
  • Mixed-gender housing without clear boundaries
  • No written rules or tenancy agreements
  • Staff who dismiss safety concerns or complaints

If you see any of these signs, don’t just ignore them because the rent is lower. Your safety is not something that you can compromise with or take for granted. Ever.
How to Choose a Safe PG as a Girl

A little hard work can make a really big difference.
 
  • Always visit the PG in person. Oftentimes, the picture that has been uploaded on the website is either a fake or a really old picture of that place. You cannot blindly trust the website. Walk around the area at night to check the vibe and the crowd in that area.
  • Ask about all the rules and regulations. Curfew timings, security systems, CCTV, security guard, check everything.
  • The most important point is to talk to the residents currently residing there. This can give you a lot of real and more reliable reviews than any ad or website.
  • Also, check reviews online. Ask girls about their experience of living there.
  • Keep your family members in the loop. Your parents should know everything about the place. Share the address of the hostel, the contact number of the staff at the PG, and the contact numbers of your friends there.

A safe PG isn’t just about a locked gate- it's much more than that.


The bottom line

Bangalore is often considered one of the safer major cities for girls, and many girls end up loving the city, find lifelong friendships, and making unforgettable memories.
 
But safety isn’t something you gamble on.

Choose a place that values safety as much as you do. A place where you come home late from college or a café and actually feel safe after entering the space.
