U5, your experience sounds all too familiar! Many builders promise the moon, but maintenance is where they really falter. It's not just security; even basic upkeep of common areas becomes a fight. It feels like once they get their money, they wash their hands off. This is why a strong RWA is crucial, but building one takes time and effort.
U5, which society near Alpha II was this? Asking for a friend who's looking there.
U6 and U7, the 'RERA Not Applicable' status for Paras Tierea is because it was completed before RERA came into effect, which is common for older, established projects. It doesn't mean it's an issue. Regarding the price and security, I have family living there. The security is genuinely good for a project of 3550 units. They have multiple layers, including boom barriers, intercoms, and active patrolling. Yes, it's a premium, but you're also paying for the overall ecosystem – green spaces, amenities, and the sheer scale of the community. It's a proper township, not just a building with a gate.
Exactly U6! And U3, you mentioned Paras Tierea. Their price range is ₹38 L – ₹1.6 Cr. For that kind of money, I expect top-notch security, not just 'kaafi strict management'. Is the security really worth the premium in that range?
U3, RERA Not Applicable, is that really okay? Doesn't that mean there's less accountability for the builder?
Bhai, security is a joke in many places. My friend booked in a 'gated community' near Alpha II, Greater Noida. Initially, everything was fine, but post-possession, the builder handed over maintenance to an agency that barely did anything. Gates open all night, CCTVs out of order for months, and guards are often sleeping or busy on their phones. It's a huge headache trying to get them to fix basic things, let alone serious security concerns. My advice: check ground reality, not just brochures.
I get your point about peace of mind, but the RERA status for Paras Tierea says 'Rera Not Applicable'. Isn't that a red flag for a completed project? What about post-possession issues if there's no RERA oversight? Current market conditions mein toh transparency bahut important hai.
Dekho, it's not always 'just PR'. While some societies do cut corners, ache communities mein security serious hoti hai. For example, Paras Tierea in Greater Noida, it's a completed project with 3550 units. Wahan ka management kaafi strict hai. Proper entry/exit logs, patrolling, aur resident verification. Haan, guards change hote hain, that's normal, but the system should be robust. It gives a sense of peace, especially if you have family. Plus, amenities ka bhi factor hota hai.
Totally agree, bhai! Same doubt. I've heard stories of CCTVs being decorative pieces only. Security ke naam pe bas gate pe ek guard khada kar dete hain.
