Madhapur is the closest — walking distance to most HITEC employers, ~₹48k/month for a 2BHK. Gachibowli is 15-25 minutes off-peak with cheaper rents. Kondapur sits between the two at lower cost. Pick by commute tolerance and budget.
If your job is at HITEC City (Mindspace, Cyber Towers, Cyber Pearl, Raheja IT Park, DLF, etc), the right neighbourhood is the one that gives you the shortest reliable commute at a budget you're comfortable with.

Gachibowli: 15–25 minutes off-peak, 30–45 minutes peak. 2BHK median ~₹42k/month. Pros: ₹6k/month cheaper rent, larger building stock, ISB and university edge. Cons: borewell stress April–June.
Kondapur: 10–15 minutes to HITEC, 20–25 minutes peak. 2BHK median ~₹35–40k/month. Pros: cheaper than Madhapur, slightly denser community. Cons: dense local roads can lock at peak; school-run + office-commute compound.

Practical guidance: if you're new to Hyderabad and don't know the corridor yet, take a 6-month lease in Gachibowli or Kondapur, get a feel for the commute and your work-from-office mix, then renew or relocate. The rental market is fluid enough that a relocation is straightforward.
