posted on 5 MayPurvanchal Sanchar Vihar is overrated for family life.
₹90 lakh for a 3BHK at Purvanchal Sanchar Vihar, everyone says it's 'value for money' because it's completed. But honestly, for families, I'm not convinced. The neighbourhood feels a bit... cut off, right? Kids ke liye nearby schools ka access kaisa hai? Aur society ka community vibe, woh family-friendly hai ya just log aate jaate hain? Is it genuinely a good home, ya sirf investment potential dikhta hai? Change my mind.

It's a classic dilemma for first-time buyers. Purvanchal Sanchar Vihar is indeed a well-built project from its time, and a completed project means no RERA hassles and immediate possession, which is a huge plus in today's market. But for a family, the community vibe and access to modern schools/recreational facilities might feel dated compared to what's available now. The current Noida market has a lot of options, but those come with their own risks (delays, RERA issues). So, it's a trade-off between an established, older society and a newer, potentially more amenity-rich but risky one. Value for money it might be, but value for lifestyle is subjective.
The 'cut off' feeling is real. While it's near some commercial hubs, for daily family needs like schools, hospitals, and even good parks, you often have to travel a bit. Compared to newer, integrated townships coming up closer to sectors, it feels a bit isolated. Even areas like Ajayabpur are getting better connectivity and amenities now.
My budget is also around ₹90 lakh, and I'm really confused. If not Sanchar Vihar, then what are other good options for a family in Noida, considering schools and safety? And are there any hidden costs in these older societies that we should be aware of?
U7, you asked about maintenance. Older projects like Sanchar Vihar usually have established maintenance committees, but yes, charges can be higher due to wear and tear. My friend lives in a similar age society near Alpha-II Commercial Belt and they recently had a major repair for water pipelines, which hit their pockets. Make sure to check the society's financial health before buying.
Hidden costs toh har society mein hote hain. Older societies mein sometimes you get hit with a 'sinking fund' top-up request for major repairs like facade painting or lift overhauls. Plus, property tax assessments can change. Always ask for the last two years' AGM minutes and balance sheets to see what's been spent on and what's pending.
Agar schools aur safety dekh rahe ho, toh Alpha I Greater Noida check kar sakte ho. Thoda aur budget stretch karna pad sakta hai but better options mil jayenge.
Hold on, guys. Purvanchal Sanchar Vihar has been completed since 2003-12-01. Us time ke hisaab se, ₹90 lakh for a 3BHK was actually a premium price, but now it seems mid-range. It's a fully developed, established society. RERA apply nahi hota ispe because of its age. Investment potential toh tab bhi tha, aur ab bhi hai because it's ready-to-move. Family life depends on what you make of it, society ke andar parks aur basic amenities toh hain.
True, but it's an old society. Maintenance charges kaise honge? Aur itne saalon mein building ki condition kaisi hai, especially plumbing aur wiring ki?
Bhai, investment potential toh theek hai, but kids ke liye nearby schools aur community engagement ka kya? That's my main concern.
Totally agree with the original post! ₹90 lakh for a 3BHK there, aur upar se feeling cut off. Mujhe bhi laga kids ke activities ke liye options kam hain. Kya sirf investment ke liye hi sahi hai yeh place?
