Downsizing in Chandigarh: Plot vs. flat doubts

Sector 24C — I'm seriously considering a flat here after selling our big house. Kids have moved out, don't need such a huge place anymore. My focus is a compact 2BHK, low maintenance, lift, and good hospital access. But honestly, everyone talks about plots being the ultimate investment in Chandigarh. For someone like me, wanting a manageable, easy-to-lock-and-leave home, plot ka idea bilkul samajh nahi aata. Builder ka headache, phir construction ka jhanjhat, aur maintenance costs toh alag hi kahani hai. Flats mein at least society RWA manage karta hai. Kya Sector 24C mein plots genuinely better hain than a well-built flat for seniors? Ya phir yeh bas investment hype hai? Disagree? Tell me why.
