M3M St Andrews: Is the premium justified for a home?
M3M ST Andrews — been looking at this for a potential upgrade. Currently in a 2BHK in Sector 57, but we need more space, thinking 3BHK or even a villa. The price tag, ₹7.37 Cr onwards, is a huge jump. I already have a home loan, so this decision is big. Is the premium for St Andrews actually worth it for daily living, or is it more about the address? I'm wondering about the amenity reality check. Are the club, gym, pool genuinely useful and well-maintained, or just for show in brochures? Also, what's the community vibe like? Is it friendly and active, or do people mostly keep to themselves? Looking for honest opinions from anyone who lives there or knows someone who does. Is this truly a good home?

M3M St Andrews is definitely in a prime location, no doubt about that. The address value is high. But is that enough to justify the price and the wait? For daily living, I'd prioritize functional space and a good, active community over just a fancy address. What's the community like there? Are there actual families or is it mostly investors who bought for rental income?
True, the community aspect is often overlooked. If you're moving from a lively sector like 57, a quiet, investor-heavy building might feel very different. You should try to visit the area and see if you can talk to people living in nearby M3M projects to get a real feel. Sometimes these super luxury places can feel a bit sterile.
Good point about the community vibe. Some of these high-end projects end up being quite isolated, with people keeping to themselves. For a family, a lively and friendly neighbourhood is crucial. I've been told by a broker that it's attracting a lot of HNIs, so it might be more about privacy than community gatherings. But that's just broker talk, not actual resident feedback.
Is it just me, or does ₹7.4 Cr for an ongoing project with 220 units sound a bit much? That's a lot of inventory to sell over such a long period. What if they struggle to sell, and construction slows down? I’m looking for a 3BHK too, but this makes me nervous. Maybe a ready-to-move-in property, even if slightly older, makes more sense for peace of mind?
The price point is definitely high, but M3M projects generally command a premium for their location and perceived luxury. However, the amenities question is valid. Often, these high-end clubs and pools are great for a year or two, then maintenance starts slipping. Does anyone know if M3M has a good track record with long-term amenity upkeep in their other projects?
Yes, amenities are a big concern. It's not just about having them, but *using* them. If they're not well-maintained or too exclusive, it defeats the purpose. For 7.37 Cr, I'd expect top-notch, consistent service.
I've heard mixed reviews about M3M's maintenance. My uncle lives in an M3M project near Airport Road, and he says the gym is good, but the swimming pool is often closed for 'maintenance' during peak season. So, the reality might not match the brochure for St Andrews either.
Bhai, 7.37 Cr onwards for a project that delivers in 2032? That's almost 8 years away! Mera toh budget dekh ke hi haath kaanp rahe hain, upar se itna lamba wait. Is it even safe to invest with such a long possession date, especially with an existing home loan? Kya gurantee hai ki time pe milega?
Totally agree with you both. I was looking at their RERA number, RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/916/648/2025/19, which shows it was registered in 2025. So from registration to possession is 7 years? That's a massive red flag for me. Current market conditions in Gurugram are already volatile, and locking funds for so long is super risky.
Sahi kaha yaar. 2032 is a very, very long time. For first-time buyers like us, that kind of uncertainty is scary. What if the market changes drastically or the builder delays even further? I've seen projects near Basai where possession dates kept getting pushed for years. It's a huge financial and mental burden.
