Searching for flat rent in Bashundhara R/A? This guide shows what owners are asking right now, how rents change from block to block, and what to check before you pay any advance. All numbers come from live listings read on 22 October 2026, so you can plan your budget with real data, not guesses.
Flat Rent in Bashundhara R/A 2026: What the Numbers Say
The most common asking rent for a flat in Bashundhara is ?45,000 to ?62,000 per month. We looked at the price filter for flats for rent in Bashundhara on a major Bangladeshi classifieds portal on 22 October 2026. It showed 135 flat ads, of which 133 had a price. Here is how they split.
- Under ?30,000: 8 ads (about 6%)
- ?30,000 to 45,000: 32 ads (about 24%)
- ?45,000 to 62,000: 54 ads (about 41%)
- ?62,000 to 1.2 lakh: 33 ads (about 25%)
- Above ?1.2 lakh: 6 ads (about 5%)
Two points matter when you read these numbers. First, these are asking rents. The final rent after negotiation can be lower. Second, ads do not cover every flat. Many owners still rent through a to-let sign on the gate or through a building caretaker.
Is rent in Bashundhara going up?
Yes, the longer trend has been upward. A 2023 report in The Financial Express, citing a property marketplace survey, said average rent per square foot in Bashundhara rose from about ?19 to ?21 in the first half of 2023, an increase of around 11%. That is older data, so treat it as a direction, not a current rate. Today’s asking rents for mid-size family flats suggest the trend has continued.
Bashundhara Block-wise Rent Examples (October 2026)
Flat rent in Bashundhara changes a lot from one building to the next, even inside the same block. Floor level, road width, lift, generator, furnishing and building age all move the price. So instead of inventing an average for each block, the table below shows real listings we read on 22 October 2026, with the block named in the ad.
| Block / road | Unit | Asking rent | Extra terms in the ad | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C Block, 100 Feet Road | Furnished 4-bed apartment | ?1,00,000 / month | Excludes service charge, electricity, gas and water | Public classifieds |
| D Block | 3,000 sft fully furnished, 4 bed, 4 bath, 3rd floor | ?1,00,000 / month | Includes service charge; parking, lift, generator | Public classifieds |
| G Block, Road 13 | 1,560 sft furnished, 3 bed, 3 bath, 5th floor | Not stated in ad data | Service charge ?6,000; caution fee ?1,00,000; 24-month minimum | Public classifieds |
| G Block, Road 13 | Semi-master bedroom (male bachelor) | ?14,500 / month (negotiable) | Restricted to male bachelors | LivingSN listing |
| D Block, Road 5 | Single seat | ?7,000 / month | Available from October | LivingSN listing |
Listings change daily. These are examples, not fixed block rates. [VERIFY: replace or add LivingSN’s own Bashundhara listings with block, size and rent before publishing.]
What the examples tell you: large furnished family flats in the C and D blocks sit around ?1 lakh, while shared rooms and seats in the same area cost a fraction of that. If your budget is ?45,000 to 62,000, focus on unfurnished or semi-furnished 3-bed flats and compare the extra charges carefully.
Which Part of Bashundhara Suits You?
The right block is the one that cuts your daily travel. Bashundhara R/A is a large planned area, and the commute from one end to the other can take real time in traffic. Map your three most frequent trips first: office, school or university, and hospital.
Families
Families usually want a quiet road, a lift, generator backup and a guard at the gate. Blocks on the Jamuna Future Park side give quick access to shopping and to Evercare Hospital. For example, one Block C address on Road 10 is listed as about a 5-minute walk from Jamuna Future Park and roughly 16 minutes on foot from Evercare Hospital. Inner blocks are often calmer but may need a rickshaw for daily errands.
Students and bachelors
Bashundhara has several private universities, so rooms and seats are common. Expect many ads to say “family only”. Search for “seat”, “sublet” or “bachelor” listings, and confirm house rules on guests and timings before paying.
Expats and corporate tenants
Fully furnished flats with gas, AC and internet appear at the upper end, often near ?1 lakh. Ask whether the rent includes service charge, utility bills and furniture maintenance, and whether a minimum stay, such as 24 months, applies.
Newer and extension blocks
Many plot-sale ads appear for later blocks such as N, P and the I Extension, which suggests ongoing construction there. New buildings can mean newer fittings at a fair rent, but also construction noise and fewer shops nearby. Visit during working hours to judge the noise.
Bashundhara Flat Rent Budget: Decision Table
Use this table to match your budget for flat rent in Bashundhara to the kind of listing you will most often see. The share of ads comes from the 22 October 2026 data above. The “best for” column is our guidance, not a statistic.
| Monthly asking rent | Share of priced ads | Best for | Check before you pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under ?30,000 | About 6% | Small flats, couples, budget tenants | Floor, lift, water supply, exact block |
| ?30,000 to 45,000 | About 24% | Small families, 2 to 3 bed unfurnished | Service charge, gas line or cylinder |
| ?45,000 to 62,000 | About 41% | Most family tenants, 3 bed | Generator, parking, advance amount |
| ?62,000 to 1.2 lakh | About 25% | Large or furnished flats | What furniture is included, minimum stay |
| Above ?1.2 lakh | About 5% | Duplex and premium furnished units | Written inventory, maintenance terms |
Costs on Top of Bashundhara Flat Rent
Your real cost of flat rent in Bashundhara is rent plus service charge plus utilities. Ads often show only the rent, so ask about each item below and write the answers in your agreement.
- Service charge: covers guards, lift, generator and cleaning. One G Block ad listed ?6,000 a month on top of rent.
- Utilities: electricity, water and gas are often extra. Ask if the flat has a piped gas line or uses cylinders, because this changes your monthly bill.
- Advance and caution money: some ads ask for large deposits, such as a ?1,00,000 caution fee. Know the legal rule below before you agree.
- Parking: a car space may cost extra or may not be available at all.
How much advance is legal?
The law allows one month’s rent in advance unless the Rent Controller agrees to more. According to The Daily Star’s law desk, Section 10 of the Premises Rent Control Act, 1991 says a landlord should not take security money or more than one month’s rent in advance without the Controller’s prior permission. Section 13 also says the landlord should give a signed receipt for rent paid. As The Business Standard notes, enforcement is weak, so a clear written agreement is your best protection. This is general information, not legal advice.
How to Rent a Flat in Bashundhara: Step by Step
- Fix your total budget. Add rent, service charge and an estimate for bills. Keep a separate amount for the advance.
- Shortlist by route. Pick two or three blocks near your office, school or hospital.
- Filter listings with full details. Prefer ads that show rent, size, floor and photos. Browse flats for rent on LivingSN and the Dhaka listings page.
- Visit twice. Go once in daylight and once in the evening to check light, noise, water pressure and the road.
- Check the owner. Ask to see proof that the person renting out the flat owns it or is authorised to rent it.
- Agree terms in writing. Rent, advance, service charge, notice period, rent increase and repairs should all be in the agreement.
- Pay with records. Use bank transfer or mobile banking where possible and collect a signed receipt every month.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average flat rent in Bashundhara R/A in 2026?
Most flats in Bashundhara R/A are advertised between ?45,000 and ?62,000 a month. That band held 54 of 133 priced flat ads on a major public classifieds portal on 22 October 2026. Smaller flats start below ?30,000, while a few large furnished units are listed above ?1.2 lakh.
Can bachelors rent a flat in Bashundhara?
Yes, but options are narrower than for families. Many owners write “family only” in the ad, while others offer rooms or seats for students and working bachelors. On LivingSN we saw a semi-master room in G Block for ?14,500 and a seat in D Block for ?7,000 in October 2026.
How much advance can a landlord take in Bangladesh?
Under Section 10 of the Premises Rent Control Act, 1991, a landlord should not take more than one month’s rent in advance without the Rent Controller’s consent. In practice many ads ask for more, so agree the amount in writing, get receipts, and take legal advice if a dispute arises.
Is the service charge included in Bashundhara flat rent?
It depends on the listing, so always ask. One D Block ad we read quoted ?1,00,000 including service charge, while a C Block ad quoted the same rent excluding service charge and utility bills. A G Block furnished flat listed a separate ?6,000 service charge.
Which block in Bashundhara is best for families?
The best block depends on your daily route, not the block letter. Choose the side closest to your office, your children’s school, and your hospital. Blocks near the Jamuna Future Park side give quicker access to shopping and Evercare Hospital, while inner blocks are usually quieter. Visit at peak hours before deciding.
