Viman Nagar (Marathi: विमान नगर lit. Airport City) is a residential and retail neighborhood in the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor of Pune, regarded as one of the affluent regions in the city.[1] Viman Nagar is in proximity to the Pune International Airport and constitutes the eastern necklace of the city along with Koregaon Park and Kalyani Nagar.

During the Pre-independence era, the neighborhood was known as Dunkirk Lines. It has residential complexes, corporate offices, fine-dining restaurants, and shopping malls. The locality provides easy accessibility to work and leisure for its residents [citation needed] and also contains educational institutions like Symbiosis Law School, Pune. For these reasons it has one of the highest property rates in real estate in Maharashtra.[2]
