Saket mein 3BHK: New vs. old projects, my take

Visited a couple of projects in Saket last weekend, trying to find a decent 3BHK. Honestly, I'm just fed up of renting, landlord ne rent phir badha diya. My budget is around ₹80L–1.5Cr. Everyone glorifies those shiny new buildings, but aren't older, well-maintained societies in Shivalik often better value for money, especially in terms of actual carpet area? Plus, resale potential. New projects ka maintenance bhi high hota hai. Change my mind.
