Aravallis living reality check: What am I missing?

Honestly, buying for myself after being in real estate for so long is still a mind-bender. I'm looking at properties along the Aravallis corridor, maybe near SPR or Sohna side. Builders show us great lifestyle, but what's the *real* scene like for daily commute and basic amenities? Yaar, brochures never show the full picture. Is water supply consistent? Power cuts ka kya haal hai? I'm talking about actual living experience, not just investment ROI numbers. Should I be worried about anything specific there that isn't obvious? Any hidden issues for residents?
