Luxury amenities are just a maintenance trap
Okay I'll be honest — all these 'luxury' amenities builders boast about are just a front for sky-high maintenance charges. We're looking at Brigade Oasis, and I just see a fancy clubhouse no one uses and green areas that are actually cramped. My kids have moved out; I just want a reliable elevator and low costs. Change my mind.

But isn't having good amenities also important for resale value? If you're buying at ₹1.0 Cr – ₹2.8 Cr range, you also want your investment to grow. Current market conditions in Bengaluru are already tough, so amenities can differentiate. What about the appreciation potential?
Resale value is a tricky one, yaar. Builders always hype
Totally agree, bhai! Same feeling when I checked out a project near Aavalahalli. They showed us a huge swimming pool, but it's only open a few hours, and the gym is always empty. Maintenance was quoted ₹8 per sqft! For Brigade Oasis, I heard it's even more. What's the point of paying for facilities you barely use?
Haan, ₹8 is common nowdays, sometimes even ₹10 for premium projects. For Brigade Oasis, since it's still ongoing, they usually give an estimate like ₹5-₹6 per sqft, but trust me, after possession (which is Dec 2025, right?), it shoots up. They add security, common area electricity, lift maintenance, everything. Always ask for a detailed breakdown!
₹8 per sqft? That's insane! For Brigade Oasis, any idea what the current maintenance charges are looking like post-possession?
