Completed projects' amenities are often just for show
Since January I've been shortlisting flats, and a big discovery for completed projects like Presidency Heights is how brochure pics can be misleading on livability. Currently in a 2BHK in Sector 76, thinking of upgrading to a 3BHK there. My main concern: are the amenities actually maintained well post-possession? Or are they just for show? Also, how's the community vibe? Is it friendly enough for daily life ya sab isolated rehte hain? Already have a home loan, so this big price jump needs real resident validation, not just sales talk.

Considering the current market conditions, where interest rates are still a bit high and property prices have plateaued in some sectors, a 3BHK upgrade is a significant investment. You definitely need to talk to existing residents, not just the sales team. Try visiting Presidency Heights on a weekend and chat with people in the park or common areas. That's the best way to gauge the real community vibe and maintenance.
This is the biggest problem with completed projects, especially in areas like Noida. Builders usually focus on completing the project and getting an OC, after that, the maintenance part is often neglected or handed over to a third party that isn't accountable enough. We need to look for projects where the builder has a reputation for post-possession service, not just pre-sales promises. The community vibe also comes from how well the common areas are maintained; if they're shabby, people tend to keep to themselves.
Toh phir community khud se manage karti hai kya ye sab, ya builder ke bharose hi rehte hain for repairs and upgrades?
Sahi kaha aapne. Builder ki baaton par bharosa karna mushkil hai. Humne bhi ek project mein dekha, Ajayabpur mein, gym equipment do saal baad bhi nahi aaye the jo brochure mein the. It's frustrating to deal with.
Presidency Heights ka RERA number UPRERAPRJ10984 hai, right? But what about the actual maintenance charges? Are they reasonable, ya fir sky-high for non-existent services?
U6 is right, initial charges are a bait. Mere ek friend ka experience Alistonia Estate mein aise hi hua. Builder ne bola tha minimum charges, but RWA form hote hi charges double kar diye. And services were still sub-par. It's a common trick.
Haan, RERA number wahi hai. Maintenance charges initially theek lagte hain, but within a year, they hike them up significantly. Also, with 284 units, the common expenses should be manageable, but somehow they always find a way to charge more.
Your concern is super valid. I'm also a first-time buyer looking in Sector 76, and the amenities game is so misleading. Builders show a grand vision, but after possession, the focus shifts completely. I've seen multiple projects where the promised 'green areas' turn into neglected patches of dirt.
Bhai, exactly! Ye 'Presidency Heights' jaise projects ki brochure pics dekh kar lagta hai sab world-class hai, but ground reality kuch aur hi hoti hai. Mera bhi yahi experience raha hai jab main sites visit kar raha tha. Gym equipment bas naam ke hote hain, swimming pool ka paani ganda ya band hi rehta hai, aur club house bas shaadiyon ke liye use hota hai. 97L se 1.4 Cr ka jump sirf amenities ke bharose nahi le sakte. Is there anyone here who actually lives there and can confirm the maintenance quality?
Swimming pool toh bas brochure mein achha lagta hai, real mein rarely clean milta hai, ya phir timings itne ajeeb hote hain ki koi use hi nahi kar pata. Bahut frustration hoti hai jab itna pay karne ke baad bhi basic facilities nahi milti.
Totally agree with you! Mere cousin ne Alpha I Greater Noida mein ek flat liya tha, same issue hai. Amenities are just for show, maintenance zero.
