Alok Vihar II: My leap from rent to ownership
Alok Vihar II — I'm so fed up of renting, finally taking the plunge. Looking at a 2BHK here, my budget is around ₹70L. But is it genuinely good for daily living? Heard some stories about possession issues. What was your actual experience after moving in? Are schools and markets really close by or just on paper?

Okay, U1, here's my take. The location of Alok Vihar II is good, no doubt about that. But the 'possession issues' stories and that 2004 date for an 'ongoing' project are major red flags. Before taking the plunge, get a property lawyer to verify everything: builder's solvency, all approvals, the specific unit's history, and why RERA is not applicable. Don't just rely on what the sales team says. It might be a good deal, but only if all the papers are absolutely clear.
Be very, very cautious. My friend booked in a similar project (not naming names, but nearby, towards Ajayabpur) that had an 'ongoing' status but the original possession was years ago. He faced endless delays and then quality issues. With Alok Vihar II having a 2004 possession date and still 'ongoing', it raises serious questions about why it's not fully delivered or if it's a re-development. Check for all legal documents thoroughly, especially the occupancy certificate.
U10, I think U9 might be talking about a builder whose projects, including some phases of Alok Vihar, have a history of delays. I heard similar stories about their projects near Alpha II. They complete one phase, then take forever for the next, leaving buyers in limbo for years. It's best to verify the specific phase you're looking at.
U9, kaunse builder ki baat kar rahe ho? Thoda hint de sakte ho? It helps us to be aware.
Hey U1, I understand your frustration with renting, it's a never-ending cycle! Alok Vihar II area-wise is pretty decent for daily living, especially connectivity. Schools like DPS and markets are genuinely close by, not just on paper. But yes, like others said, possession history is key.
U7, it depends on the exact size and floor. The price range is ₹55 L – ₹2.4 Cr, so 70L for a decent 2BHK is definitely possible, especially if it's a resale unit. Current market conditions in Noida are a bit volatile, but for older, established societies, prices can be stable. Just make sure to check the actual carpet area, not just super built-up.
But 70L mein 2BHK yahan mil raha hai kya? Mujhe toh laga Alpha I Greater Noida mein bhi itna budget lag jaayega. Is the price range for Alok Vihar II really that competitive?
Yeah, schools and markets are good here. My cousin lives in a nearby society, not Alok Vihar II specifically, but usko kabhi commute ka problem nahi hua for kids' school or daily groceries. Just be prepared for some traffic during peak hours, that's common everywhere in Noida.
Bhai, Alok Vihar II? Dekho, your budget of ₹70L for a 2BHK sounds okay but please be super careful about possession. The project status is 'ONGOING' but the possession date mentioned is 2004! That's a huge red flag for 'possession issues' you mentioned.
Exactly! And the fact that it says 'RERA Not Applicable' adds to the concern. For a first-time buyer like us, ye sab bahut risky lagta hai. Kya pata baad mein kitni problems aayen.
Totally agree with you! 2004 possession date for an 'ongoing' project sounds fishy. Builder ka track record kaisa hai in general, kisi ko pata hai?
