Is RG Mirage's premium justified for families?
The advertised price per sqft is always a marketing trick, it's never the final number. I'm looking at RG Mirage Tower M for a 3BHK, but the final cost after PLC, stamp duty, it's just insane, crosses 3.5 Cr easily. JC Studio Apartments, on the other hand, seems like a decent ready-to-move option at 28.90L. For rental yield, JC might be better given the lower entry point. But usable carpet area for a studio vs a proper 3BHK is a huge difference. Kya lagta hai, for a family, RG Mirage ka total cost justify hoga?

It's a classic dilemma, right? RG Mirage offers the dream of a spacious family home, but at a premium that feels borderline insane for a first-time buyer. JC Studio gives you a foot in the door with a ready-to-move asset and potential rental income, but the space constraint for a family is real. For a family, the usable carpet area is crucial, and a 3BHK provides that long-term comfort. However, the financial strain of 3.5 Cr, especially with hidden costs and potential delays, is a huge factor. Ultimately, it boils down to balancing aspiration with financial reality and risk appetite. There's no easy answer here, both have their pros and cons. Hope the original poster finds a clarity.
I can totally relate to the original post. Meri bhi aise hi calculation bigadi thi ek project mein Ajayabpur ke paas. They quote a base price, then add PLC for specific floors or views, then infrastructure charges, then internal development charges, then GST, then stamp duty, then registration. The final amount was almost 30% higher than what I initially thought. Always ask for the 'all-inclusive' price on paper. Also, RG Mirage ke 182 units hain, so society badi hogi. What is the average maintenance cost per sqft in such large societies?
U9 is spot on. Aur ismein electricity aur water bill alag se. Living costs bahut badh jaate hain in new societies.
Maintenance cost in large societies like RG Mirage can vary, but generally, expect anything from ₹2.5 to ₹4 per sqft per month. Depending on amenities, power backup, and security. For example, in Alistonia Estate, it's around ₹3.5/sqft. So, for a 1500 sqft 3BHK, you're looking at ₹3750 to ₹6000 per month. Add that to your EMI and property taxes.
3.5 Cr for a 3BHK? Mera toh budget hi 1 Cr ka hai, lol. Studio apartment hi dekhna padega ya phir rent pe hi rehna padega.
RG Mirage ka 3.5 Cr toh bahut zyada lag raha hai, especially for a project that's ONGOING and possession by 2026-06-30. JC Studio Apartments, on the other hand, ready-to-move hai aur sirf 28.90L mein. Rental yield ke liye toh JC better lag raha hai. But for a family, usable carpet area ka difference bahut bada hai, that's true. Still, by 2026, will 3.5 Cr for a 3BHK in RG Mirage still be considered value?
U5, you're right about appreciation, but builder delays ka kya? 'ONGOING' status ka matlab yeh nahi ki sab smooth chalega. Maine dekha hai builders ne dates extend kar di hain, aur tab tak aapki EMI toh chalti rehti hai. 3.5 Cr is a huge amount to block for 2+ years without certainty.
Dekho, value toh location aur build quality pe depend karta hai. Noida mein prices ka trend upar hi gaya hai, especially in areas like Alpha I Greater Noida. Agar RG Mirage ka location prime hai aur builder ka track record decent hai (RERA: UPRERAPRJ158423 check kar lena), toh 2026 tak 3.5 Cr might be justified for a premium 3BHK. Ready-to-move ka apna charm hai, but under-construction mein capital appreciation potential zyada hota hai, provided project time pe deliver ho. It's a gamble, but a calculated one sometimes.
Yaar, ye RG Mirage ka price sunke toh mera BP high ho gaya. Original post mein sahi kaha hai, advertised price ek jhooth hai. Main bhi Tower M mein 3BHK dekh raha tha, but jab final figures dekhe, toh 3.5 Cr cross kar gaya. PLC, stamp duty, registration, GST... aur bhi bohot saare charges hote hain jo woh pehle nahi batate. Meri toh poori calculation bigad gayi. Kya hidden costs aur hote hain jo builder nahi batata aur baad mein bill mein add kar deta hai?
Totally agree with U2! Car parking bhi mandatory kar dete hain aur uska bhi alag se charge laga dete hain, jo pehle discuss nahi hota. Ye sab add karke hi price rocket ho jaata hai.
Haan bhai, bilkul sahi kaha. Hidden costs toh builders ka naya business model hai. IFMS (Interest Free Maintenance Security), Club Membership, Power Backup charges, even maintenance advance for 1-2 years, sab add ho jaata hai. Maine bhi ek project mein dekha tha, 10-15 lakh toh aaram se upar chale jaate hain. Bahut frustration hoti hai.
