Swastik Kunj Apartment's amenities: Am I alone?

That's a valid point, U9. So, to the original poster, have you tried escalating this with the RWA? What was their response? Did they give any timeline for fixing the gym and pool?

While the issues mentioned are definitely concerning, sometimes with older societies like Swastik Kunj (235 units is a decent number), the location can be a huge plus. If it's in a prime area like near Anand Vihar, the property value still holds up. The RWA's role becomes crucial here; they need to be strong enough to ensure proper maintenance. Did you check the RWA's reputation before moving in? Sometimes, these problems can be fixed with collective resident effort, though it's unfair to expect residents to do the builder's job.

Builder ke promises toh bas hawa mein hote hain. Gym, pool, clubhouse, sab bas dikhawa hai. Seriously fed up!

U4, you hit the nail on the head. Swastik Kunj was completed way back in 2006, so yes, it's an older project. For older buildings, maintenance charges are usually higher, and the RWA often struggles to keep up with repairs, especially for shared amenities like gyms and pools. In today's market, where new projects are offering state-of-the-art facilities, buying into an older one with broken amenities, even at a lower per sqft price, can be a money pit. You end up paying for something you can't use.

Bhai, you are definitely not alone! Swastik Kunj ka naam sunke hi dimaag kharab ho jaata hai. Jab ₹1.1 Cr se ₹1.5 Cr tak ki range mein property le rahe ho, toh basic amenities toh expect karoge hi na? This isn't just brochure magic, it's straight-up false advertising. Builders promise the moon and deliver a pothole. My friend almost booked here, thank god he backed out after seeing the ground reality. Amenities are a huge part of daily living, especially for first-time buyers like us who stretch our budgets.
