Maintenance charges in Noida Extension are a bigger hidden cost than people realize.
My kids have moved out, so I'm looking to downsize from our big house to something manageable, maybe a 2BHK in Horizon Concept Noida Nxt. It's completed and the listed price (₹17-20L) looks okay. But yaar, what's the actual monthly outflow for maintenance here? Brochure mein toh kuch aur hota hai, real mein kuch aur. I'm worried about unexpected society charges ya phir power backup ke extra paise. We want a peaceful society with good security and a friendly community. Any residents from Horizon Nxt can share their real experience? What's the *actual* per sqft charge after OC, and are there any hidden costs? Hope this helps someone else also looking at these numbers.

U1, did you manage to find out the exact figures or talk to any residents? Curious to know what happened next!
The best way to know the *actual* maintenance is to talk to 2-3 residents directly. Visit the society on a weekend, strike up a conversation with someone in the park or near the gate. They will give you the real picture, including any society politics or recurring issues.
I visited Horizon Concept Noida Nxt last month. It's a completed project, possession was given in 2020. The prices are indeed in the ₹18-21L range for a 2BHK, which is competitive for the area given the current market conditions in Noida. But the maintenance charges are something they are usually vague about until you're deep into the process. I heard from a broker that it's around ₹2.5-3 per sqft, but that's unofficial.
Yes, U8 is right. My brother bought in Alistonia Estate and they started with ₹2.2/sqft but now it's ₹3.5/sqft within two years. Plus, if there are only 406 units, the burden of maintaining common areas falls on fewer people, potentially leading to higher charges per flat.
U9, that ₹2.5-3 per sqft sounds about right for Noida Extension these days, but that's for basic services. Expect it to go up if they have good amenities like a swimming pool or a functional community hall. And builder ka track record bhi dekhna padta hai. Sometimes they hike charges after a year.
Bhai, I almost booked a flat in Horizon Nxt in 2019. The possession was supposed to be April 2020 but it got delayed by a few months. My concern back then was the sheer number of units (406). More units often mean higher maintenance for common services, or sometimes, lower quality services. I ended up choosing another project in Ajayabpur because the per sqft maintenance charge was clearer there.
U5, my cousin lives nearby, not in Horizon Nxt but a similar project. They charge per unit for power backup, and it's quite expensive, like ₹15-20 per unit! Plus, there are separate charges for club house, gym, etc. Make sure to get a detailed breakdown in writing.
That's a very valid point about the number of units. Does anyone know if they have 24/7 power backup and how much extra they charge for that? Some societies charge a bomb for generator usage.

Haan, U3, Horizon Concept Noida Nxt is RERA registered, number hai UPRERAPRJ12539. That part is clear. But the maintenance part is still a black box, right?
Exactly! Sirf maintenance hi nahi, are you sure about the builder's reputation? And is the project RERA registered? These things matter a lot for peace of mind.
Totally understand your concern! I'm also a first-time buyer looking in Noida Extension and hidden costs are my biggest fear. Builders show one figure, but then society charges, common area electricity, lift maintenance, sab add hota jaata hai. I've heard stories from friends in Alpha I Greater Noida where their maintenance bills are double what was promised initially.
