posted on 3 MayMy DLF Pink Town House visit: Carpet area doubts
Last month, I saw DLF Pink Town House. Looks good, but carpet area kitna practical hai for a growing family? Kids ke liye space sahi hai? Neighbourhood ka vibe kaisa hai, especially schools ke paas?

It's a tough call, guys. 100 units means a smaller, possibly more community-oriented society, which can be a plus for families. But 2010 possession definitely means you need to factor in renovation costs, even if it's just cosmetic. Original poster, did you get a chance to check the society's current maintenance charges and their reserve fund status? That's crucial for older properties, as unexpected expenses can crop up if the funds aren't healthy. What did the current residents say about the vibe?
U3, you make a good point about older projects. It's true that RERA wasn't around then. But what about the schools near DLF Pink Town House? Are they still good and easily accessible for kids? And in today's market, with so many new projects coming up in Gurugram, is an older property really a smart investment at ₹1.7-2.1 Cr?
U4, one thing to consider is negotiation. If you're looking at an older, completed property, you generally have more room to negotiate the price with the seller compared to a builder for a new project. For ₹1.7 Cr, you might snag a good deal if you push for it, potentially balancing out future renovation costs.
Haan, market conditions are definitely volatile right now. Resale mein value nikalna can be hit or miss for older properties.
Schools around that particular area are generally well-established and have a good reputation, like DPS, Heritage, Pathways. But getting new admissions can be tough sometimes, especially for popular ones. As for investment, the market is indeed tricky. While new projects offer modern amenities and facilities, older ones usually boast larger room sizes and common areas. It really depends on your priority – modern amenities vs. actual usable space. Also, resale value can be slower for older properties if not maintained meticulously, so factor that in.
Dekho, 'RERA not applicable' is because it was completed long before RERA came into effect in 2016. That's normal for older, completed projects like this. My cousin bought a resale flat near Badshahpur from 2012, and he got a pretty good deal after negotiation. Key is to check all documents thoroughly, especially the occupancy certificate and society financials. Carpet area is subjective, but for a 2010 build, you might actually find it more spacious than the compact new flats. Just be prepared for some minor renovations.
2010 possession? Aur RERA not applicable? Yeh toh mere liye red flag hai. Naye projects mein safety zyada lagti hai.
DLF Pink Town House sounds interesting! I've been looking for something in that range too. Carpet area ka doubt toh sahi hai, especially with kids, it's never enough, right? But the location near schools is a big plus. ₹1.7-2.1 Cr mein kya ye worth it hai for a 2010 property in today's market?
Haan, U1, exact same thought. Older properties, even from good builders like DLF, can have hidden maintenance costs later on. Plus, sometimes the designs feel a bit outdated now compared to new builds. Definitely check plumbing and electricals properly during inspection.
Bhai, 2010 ka project hai, for that price, thoda high lag raha hai. Resale value ka bhi sochna padega.
