Sohna projects: Are we buying amenities or just brochure promises?
₹70 lakh for a 2BHK in Lykehomes Avenue – are we really buying 'amenities' or just a dream? I'm in real estate, but buying for myself in Sohna is different. Everyone hypes 'world-class amenities' during booking, but kitna milta hai real mein? My worry is the promised clubhouse, gym, swimming pool... will they even be half-functional post-possession? Or just showpieces that drain maintenance charges? Dekha hai bahut baar, OC milte hi builder sab bhool jaate hain. For Lykehomes Avenue, I'm especially thinking about the resale value. Will a half-baked amenity package really attract tenants or boost appreciation after 5 years? Or will it just be a drain on my ROI? I'm telling you, most of these 'premium' amenities are just fluff for brochures. Change my mind, Sohna buyers.

It's a tough call for us first-time buyers. On one hand, builders dangle these fantastic amenities as a bait. On the other, the ground reality often disappoints. My advice would be to thoroughly check the builder's past projects, especially their amenity delivery post-possession. Sometimes, it's better to get a slightly smaller place with guaranteed basic facilities than a grand dream that never comes true. Lykehomes Avenue has a long way to go, so due diligence is key.
The OP's point about resale value is crucial. If the promised amenities are half-baked, it definitely impacts future rentability and appreciation. Who wants to pay premium maintenance for a non-existent swimming pool or a dusty clubhouse? My uncle faced this issue with a project in Baliawas; his flat's value barely moved because the society facilities never took off. This Lykehomes Avenue situation sounds very similar.
I'm also a first-time buyer looking in Sohna, and this amenities debate is real. My budget is around 60-65 lakh. Lykehomes Avenue's pricing starts at ₹59L, but for a decent 2BHK, it quickly goes up to ₹70L. Is it genuinely worth stretching for these 'premium' amenities that might never materialize? Or should I look for something more basic but with an earlier possession and proven track record in Baharampur Naya?
Dekho, current market conditions in Gurugram are pushing prices up everywhere. Sohna is still relatively affordable compared to main Gurgaon. If you're looking at it as a long-term investment (like 10+ years), then 2033 possession might not be so bad, provided the builder completes it. The amenities, even if partial, will still add value later. But yes, the risk is there.
Honestly, for 70L, you can find decent resale options or even new projects with earlier possession near Airport Road (Gurgaon side) that have established amenities. Sohna ka appreciation potential hai, but 2033 tak wait karna aur woh bhi sirf promises pe, that's a huge risk for a first-time buyer. Don't fall for the brochure glam, focus on the builder's past delivery.
The original post hit the nail on the head. ₹70L for Lykehomes Avenue's 2BHK seems steep, especially with the 'ongoing' status and that distant 2033 possession date. RERA-GRG-PROJ-1466-2023 is their number, but does anyone know the exact current construction status? Are they even past foundation work? Builders often show fancy renders but ground reality is different. This long wait is what scares me the most.
Totally agree with the original post! Lykehomes Avenue ke brochures dekh ke toh lagta hai they're selling a resort, not just a home. But 70 lakh for a 2BHK with a 2033 possession date? Bhai, tab tak toh inflation aur construction costs ka kya hoga? Mera bhi budget tight hai, aur yeh amenities ka promise sunn ke darr lagta hai ki baad mein sirf maintenance charge hi na badhate rahein. Has anyone seen actual progress on the clubhouse or pool? Or is it all just on paper?
Yaar, but Sohna overall kaafi develop ho raha hai. Connectivity improve ho rahi hai aur new offices bhi aa rahe hain. Maybe Lykehomes Avenue is banking on that future growth? 2033 toh door hai, but if they deliver well, it could be a good investment. Kya pata tab tak amenities bhi top-notch ho jayen. Just thinking out loud, I'm also a first-time buyer and confused.
Sahi kaha, mere dost ne Badshahpur mein ek project liya tha, similar promises the. Aaj 5 saal ho gaye, clubhouse ka base bhi nahi bana! Sirf gym ka ek chhota sa room hai jisme do machines padi hain. Lykehomes Avenue ka RERA date 2033 hai, itna time toh bohot zyada hai to deliver on these 'world-class' promises. I'm worried about the quality of construction too, with such a long timeline.
