posted on 14 MayMy Sadashivanagar flat: one crucial thing nobody told me
Just got possession in Sadashivanagar two months ago. Nobody tells you about the water supply. Municipal water timings are strict, so most societies use borewell or tanker. Power cuts happen, but DG backup is common. My hack: always confirm the society's water source and *actual* DG uptime. Essential for peace of mind.

It seems like the fundamental takeaway is to do your own due diligence, regardless of the area. Builders will always paint a rosy picture. Water, power, maintenance, and even society rules – these 'small' things become huge headaches later. Sadashivanagar has its charm and location benefits, but every area has its trade-offs. Thanks for highlighting the water issue, it's often overlooked in the excitement of buying.
So, if Sadashivanagar has these issues, aur budget bhi high hai, is it even worth it for a first-time buyer? What are the current market conditions like for other well-connected areas with better infrastructure?
Yeah, Akshayanagar is definitely more budget-friendly. Sadashivanagar is more for established families, not for someone on a tight budget.
For first-time buyers, Sadashivanagar might be tough due to prices (15k-20k/sqft). Current market mein, areas like Akshayanagar or even parts of Sarjapur Road offer better value, though connectivity might be a slight compromise. Infrastructure is catching up there.
This is not just a Sadashivanagar problem, honestly. I almost bought a flat in Aavalahalli last year, and the builder was very vague about water. Later found out they relied completely on tankers during summer. It's a city-wide issue, especially with groundwater levels depleting. We need better RERA guidelines on this. My agent said 'don't worry, sab ho jayega', but that's just sales talk.
Sadashivanagar mein rates toh already sky-high hain. Iske upar yeh water supply ka issue? Bhai, what about the maintenance charges for all this? Does borewell water affect plumbing in the long run?
U6, you're spot on. I'm in a society near Mekhri Circle, and our maintenance is 6k for a 3BHK. We had to install a whole-house water softener for borewell water, which was an added 30k expense. Builder ne toh bola tha '24/7 water', but didn't specify the source or quality. Always check the society's water quality reports before buying.
Exactly! My friend in Agrahara Layout faced similar issues with borewell water damaging pipes. Sad but true.
Maintenance charges Sadashivanagar mein definitely high hote hain, around 5-7k for a 2BHK is common. Borewell water mein usually TDS high hota hai, so yes, plumbing pe long-term effect hota hai. RO filters are a must for drinking.
Yaar, this is so true! I'm looking in Koramangala and water supply is a constant worry. Thanks for this heads-up, will definitely ask about DG uptime.
