From 2BHK to 3BHK — is this upgrade worth it?
I'm currently in a 2BHK in Sector 75, Noida, thinking of upgrading to a 3BHK. Lets Make Elegance Tower (completed) ke baare mein sun raha hoon. Is it genuinely good to live in daily, ya bas brochure mein sab achha lagta hai? Amenities, especially pool aur gym, ka actual use kitna hai? Matlab, log wahan rehte hain ya bas investment? Community vibe kaisi hai, friendly hai ya sab apne-apne mein? Already home loan chal raha hai, toh yeh price jump worth it hai kya?

Dekho, at the end of the day, it boils down to your personal needs and financial comfort. If your family is growing or you genuinely need the extra space, then a 3BHK upgrade is worth it, provided the project meets your living standards. Lets Make Elegance Tower being completed in 2017 means you can physically inspect everything, which is a huge plus compared to under-construction projects. Don't just look at the price, look at the value it offers – a functional community, well-maintained amenities, and a peaceful environment. If it's just for investment, there might be newer, higher-appreciation potential projects. But for living, go visit the site multiple times, talk to current residents, check the society office. That's the only way to know if it's genuinely good.
Aapki baat bilkul theek hai, U13. It's such a big decision, especially with an existing loan. Har koi apne experiences bata raha hai, but final call toh khud ka hi hoga after seeing everything first-hand. It's never a clear-cut yes or no.
Sahi keh rahe ho. Original poster, aapne site visit kiya kya? Kya laga aapko wahan jaakar?
Current market conditions mein Noida mein 2BHK se 3BHK mein upgrade karna tricky hai. Sector 75 is a good location, but the price range of 21L-43L for a 2017 project seems reasonable for a 3BHK, considering how property values have appreciated in areas like Alpha II and Alpha-II Commercial Belt. However, the question is about 'worth it' with an existing loan. You need to factor in not just the EMI increase, but also higher maintenance for a 3BHK, increased property tax, and potential re-registration costs. Is your current 2BHK in a good enough location to sell quickly or rent out to cover some costs? Only 150 units in Elegance Tower, so it's a smaller community, which can be good or bad depending on management.
Toh agar 21L-43L range hai, toh average per sqft kya padega wahan? Koi idea hai?
U10, you've hit the nail on the head! Yeh market itna unpredictable hai, ek taraf lagta hai abhi le lo, price badh jayegi. Doosri taraf, loan ka burden dekh kar darr lagta hai. Meri bhi same dilemma hai, budget pura tight hai aur upgrade ka sochte hi sir ghoom jata hai. Maintenance ka point toh bilkul sahi hai, 3BHK ka bill toh definitely upar jayega.
Mujhe toh lagta hai ki builder ka track record bhi dekhna chahiye. Lets Make ka naam maine suna hai, but unke dusre projects ka kya haal hai? Ek friend ne Alistonia Estate mein liya tha, builder ne possession ke baad hand-over mein itna time lagaya ki log frustrated ho gaye. Aur amenities? Sirf naam ke liye. Agar aap daily use ke liye le rahe ho, toh community aur amenities ka functional hona bohot zaroori hai. Investment ke liye log kuch bhi le lete hain, but rehne ke liye bohot soch samajh kar. Aapka existing home loan chal raha hai, toh yeh upgrade ek bohot bada financial commitment hoga, so due diligence is key. Kya unke paas RERA registration hai aur sab documents clear hain?
Generally, yeh builders ki common tactic hoti hai, U8. Brochure mein sab dikha denge, but actual maintenance aur running costs kaun uthayega? Elegance Tower, being a 2017 possession project, it's possible that the initial shine has worn off. Community vibe depends on the residents, but if the amenities aren't up to mark, people lose interest. I'd say visit the site during peak hours to see how many people are actually using the facilities.
Aapka point sahi hai, U7. Toh kya Elegance Tower mein bhi amenities ko lekar issues hain, ya sirf generally aap bol rahe ho?
21 L se 43 L ki price range sunkar thoda doubt ho raha hai. Is it really that variable for a project that got possession in 2017? Itna purana project hai toh itna range kaise?
Haan, U5 is right. Plus, completed projects mein ready-to-move advantage milta hai. But the catch is, old projects mein sometimes maintenance society ke haath mein hoti hai, aur woh bohot messy ho sakti hai. Community vibe is also crucial here. Agar society active aur organized hai, toh amenities ka use bhi accha hota hai. Warna, sab useless lagta hai.
Good question! Jo price range hai, woh usually 2BHK aur 3BHK ke different sizes aur specific floor/view ke hisaab se hoti hai. Elegance Tower ka possession 2017 mein hua tha, toh yeh resales mein abhi bhi 21L-43L mein mil sakta hai, depending on the flat configuration and condition. Niche wale 2BHKs ya smaller 3BHKs lower end pe honge, aur bade 3BHKs upper end pe. Also, some units might be more premium due to location within the tower or specific upgrades by previous owners.
Bhai, exactly mere jaisi situation! I'm also eyeing a 3BHK upgrade from my 2BHK in a nearby sector. Lets Make Elegance Tower ka naam sunkar lagta hai kuch accha hoga, but sach mein wahan rehte hain log ya bas show-off hai? Especially pool aur gym, woh sab functional hai ya bas brochure mein photo hai? Itna bada jump karna hai, toh worth it hona chahiye na?
Exactly! Mere ek colleague ne kuch saal pehle Ajayabpur mein ek project liya tha. Brochure mein pool, gym, club house sab tha. Jab shift hue toh pata chala pool saalon se band pada hai, gym ke equipments toot chuke hain aur club house bas naam ka hai. Builder ne bola society form hone ke baad sab theek ho jayega, but abhi tak kuch nahi hua. So, Elegance Tower mein bhi, make sure ki aap khud jaa ke dekho, especially if you're taking another loan. Don't just rely on online reviews or broker talks.
Haan yaar, Elegance Tower ka naam toh suna hai. It's a completed project, possession 2017 ka hai, toh at least ready-to-move hai. But amenities ka asli haal toh wahan rehne wale hi bata sakte hain. Aksar builders brochure mein sab kuch dikha dete hain, but maintenance ke time pe haath khade kar dete hain. Mera friend Alpha I Greater Noida mein rehta hai, wahan bhi same issue hai.
