Just got possession, some things genuinely surprised me
Possession was in March for my Shreya Hindon Greens flat. Just moved in last month, and the daily grind is... different. The noise from the highway is pretty constant, especially evenings. Also, good schools nearby seem scarce. Am I just looking in the wrong places? How's the air quality for others? It feels dusty sometimes.

Honestly, after reading all this, I'm thinking of just waiting another year. The stress of finding a 'perfect' first home, within budget, with good schools, no noise, and clean air... it feels impossible. Maybe renting for a bit longer is a safer bet. This discussion is making me super nervous about making any move right now. It's like every project has some hidden flaw. Is there any project in Ghaziabad that doesn't have these issues?
The original poster mentioned possession in March, but the project data says 2018. Is this a resale or did the builder delay things a lot? Because if they delayed possession for years, that's another red flag. Builders ka track record matters a lot for first-time buyers like us. What was the actual RERA possession date for Shreya Hindon Greens?
U10 is right. If it's a resale, the current owner might just be noticing these issues now. For a project from 2018, the initial issues like construction dust should have settled. The dust could be from the main road or other ongoing development in the wider Ghaziabad area. Market conditions in Ghaziabad have been quite volatile, so older projects can sometimes have hidden issues that only emerge after living there for a while.
U9, good catch! The official possession date was indeed Jan 2018. So the original poster must have bought it on resale or got delayed possession from builder. Either way, it's not a fresh project. That explains some of the 'settling in' issues, maybe. Newer projects sometimes have better amenities or planning for things like noise.
Dusty air quality? That's concerning. I thought with the green belts around Ghaziabad, it would be better. Is it construction dust from nearby projects or just general pollution? I have allergies, so this is a deal-breaker for me.
Oh no, not good! We are also first-time buyers and the budget is super tight, so ₹72 L was pushing it. The school issue is also a major concern for us. My kids are young, and I don't want them spending hours commuting. Does anyone know about any decent CBSE schools within a 5-7 km radius? I'm looking near Ahinsa Khand II, but Hindon Greens is a bit further out.
Yeah, the school situation is tough. We looked at properties around Abhay Khand too, but the good schools there are super competitive for admissions. For Hindon Greens, I remember seeing a couple of smaller private schools nearby, but nothing with a really strong reputation that would give peace of mind. This is a big point to consider for young families.
U5, I feel you. Good schools are a nightmare to find in that area. Most decent ones are either in Indirapuram or cross over to Noida, which means serious traffic. For Shreya Hindon Greens, you'd probably be looking at schools in Ghaziabad city, and the quality can be hit or miss. Definitely check the school bus routes and travel times before committing.
Yaar, I was also eyeing Shreya Hindon Greens, but this highway noise thing is a big red flag for me. My family is very sensitive to noise pollution. Is it really that bad? Like, constant horn-honking or just a dull hum? I thought it was a good deal for ₹72 L, but ab darr lag raha hai.
U3, double-glazed windows cost a bomb yaar! And why should we pay extra to fix something the builder should have addressed in design? This project got possession in 2018, right? I'd expect better planning for a property in that price range, even if it's entry-level for Ghaziabad.
Bhai, highway ke paas hai toh noise toh hogi hi. It's a trade-off for connectivity, right? ₹72 L mein aajkal achhi location milna mushkil hai. Maybe double-glazed windows help? Maine suna hai kuch log lagwate hain for noise reduction. Kya pata, try kar sakte hain.
Same here U1! I went for a site visit last year, and the agent downplayed the highway proximity. They said 'green buffer' and all. But honestly, even then, I could hear trucks. It's not just a hum, especially if your flat faces the highway directly. It's a proper disturbance, especially in the evenings like the original poster said.
