7 saal renting ke baad, Tarun Vihar ka soch raha hoon
7 saal se rent de raha hoon, ab Tarun Vihar Apartments mein property dekh raha hoon. ₹1.5 crore for a 3BHK, but I'm worried about actual daily life. Brochure mein sab bada achha lagta hai, but kya sach mein yahan family ke saath rehna sahi hai? Everyone glorifies the location, par asli society ka vibe kaisa hai? Kids ke liye nearby schools aur markets kitne accessible hain? Amenities kitni useful hain daily mein? Honestly not sure if it's genuinely a good home. Change my mind.

U1, U9, look, Tarun Vihar has its pros and cons. The location is definitely a big plus, and a 24-year-old society means you'll have an established community, which is great for kids. For schools, as U5 mentioned, you have good options. But on the flip side, the amenities might not be as state-of-the-art as newer projects. Some might be well-maintained, others might be struggling due to age or society funds. You absolutely need to visit multiple times, talk to current residents, especially those who have lived there for a long time, to get a realistic picture of the maintenance, society management, and condition of amenities. ₹1.5 Cr is a significant investment; don't rush it.
U1, be very careful with older properties. Yes, the location is prime, but a 2000-built property means you're looking at 24-year-old construction. While ₹1.5 Cr might seem competitive for a 3BHK in Delhi's current market, factor in potential renovation costs. Plumbing, electricals, waterproofing – these things will need upgrades sooner or later, and they can easily add another ₹15-20 lakh to your budget. Don't just look at the purchase price, calculate the total cost of ownership over the next 5-10 years.
What about the amenities? Brochure mein swimming pool, gym, clubhouse sab dikha rahe hain. Kya woh sab functional hain after so many years?
U7, unfortunately, RERA usually applies to projects launched after 2016. Since Tarun Vihar Apartments was completed in 2000, it won't be under RERA's purview. Your only recourse would be the society's bylaws and the seller's assurances. Always get a thorough inspection done by an independent engineer before finalizing anything. It's a small society with 74 units, so due diligence is even more critical.
U6, that's a valid point. But isn't there some RERA protection for these things? If it's an old project, does RERA even apply to it? Aur iska RERA number kya hai?
U4, schools are actually quite good around Tarun Vihar. It's an established area, so you have good options within a 3-5 km radius, like some well-known schools near Anand Vihar. And the locality is very family-friendly, security is generally tight.
Bhai, Tarun Vihar? Woh toh 2000 ka project hai na? It's really old. ₹1.5 Cr for an apartment from 2000 seems a bit steep, even for a 3BHK. Have you checked the maintenance history and the current condition of the building structure? Old projects ke saath thode issues toh aate hi hain.
Maintenance toh theek hai, but kids ke schools ka kya? Kya nearby achhe schools hain?
Exactly! I had a friend who bought in a similar old project near Alaknanda. Initially, sab theek tha, but within two years, lift breakdowns, water seepage, aur facade ki repairs mein itna paisa lag gaya. Societies with 74 units sometimes struggle with maintenance funds if residents are not proactive. You need to check the society's financial records very carefully. My friend ended up spending an extra 10-12 lakhs on repairs in 5 years.
