Empty nest, new chapter: Bengaluru builder reality?

Spent the whole weekend checking out 2BHKs in Whitefield and Sarjapur Road. Honestly, everyone glorifies Prestige and Sobha like they're top-tier, but I'm hearing too many whispers about construction quality issues post-possession. My kids have moved out, so I'm selling our big place; I just want something manageable, not plaster cracks or seepage after a year. We're eyeing a Godrej or Brigade project around ₹1.2Cr. What's the real deal with their society maintenance after a few years? Are post-possession charges actually reasonable or just a trap? Change my mind.
