Comments
Final verdict from my side: ₹49L for a 2BHK in VKS Radha Kunj is a trap if the builder history is as bad as people are saying. Empty nesters need stability, not a project that's a constant fight. Look for societies with Occupancy Certificate, established RWA, and functional amenities. Even if it means paying a bit more, your peace of mind is priceless.
Totally agree with U7. The 'quiet' factor might just be a symptom of a slow-moving, under-occupied project. Better to invest in a slightly older but fully functional society.
Just adding to U6's point, sometimes you can find Facebook groups or WhatsApp groups of current/prospective residents for these societies. That's where you get the raw, unfiltered truth about builder issues and project status. Search for 'VKS Radha Kunj Residents' or similar.
That's a brilliant tip, U9! Saved me from a bad investment once. Builders often have official groups but look for the unofficial ones, they are more honest.
Haan, exactly. Unofficial groups mein hi asli kahani pata chalti hai. Builder toh sab achha hi batata hai. OP, yeh zaroor try karna.
OP, considering all the red flags on builder reputation, potential maintenance hikes, and connectivity issues, I'd suggest expanding your search to resale properties in more established sectors like 7X, 137, or even parts of Greater Noida West which are seeing good infrastructure development and have reputed builders. Your peace of mind is paramount for this stage of life. What did you finally decide, OP?
OP, also consider the resale value if you ever plan to move or if your family needs to sell it later. A project with a bad builder track record will always have lower appreciation and be harder to sell. For empty nesters, liquidity might become important later.
U20's point about metro connectivity is very valid. For long-term living, especially as you age, having easy access to public transport reduces dependence. VKS Radha Kunj is a bit off the main grid for that.
I'd strongly recommend checking the builder's financial health too. Many builders delay projects because of funding issues. RERA filings often reveal this. A project that's stuck for years means mental agony and financial loss for buyers. Don't fall for low prices.
My parents are also empty nesters, they chose a society in Sector 137, slightly higher budget but it's fully developed, good RWA, and all amenities are functional. Plus, metro is walking distance. For peace of mind, sometimes paying a little extra upfront saves a lot of hassle later. Think long-term, OP.
OP, if you are really keen on Radha Kunj, try to talk to existing residents, if any have moved in. They will give you the real picture of daily challenges, water supply, power cuts, security, etc. Brochures are always misleading. Ground reality check is a must.
I live in a society adjacent to VKS Radha Kunj. The area is definitely quiet, mostly residential. The main issue is the overall development of the surrounding plots. Some are still vacant or under construction, which means dust and noise for some time. But yes, for empty nesters, it feels safe and less chaotic than central Noida. Maintenance in my society is ₹3.5/sqft, expect something similar or slightly higher.
OP, have you visited the site personally? Sometimes, these 'quiet' societies are quiet because they're in the middle of nowhere or still under heavy construction in surrounding areas. That can be a problem for hospital access or even basic grocery runs. Also, check the approach road conditions.
Noida mein abhi rates upar jaa rahe hain, especially near the upcoming metro expansion areas. But VKS Radha Kunj might not benefit much if the builder issues persist. Try looking at societies closer to the existing metro lines for better connectivity and appreciation. For empty nesters, public transport access is also very important.
Thank you everyone for the valuable inputs! It's clear that builder reputation is a big concern. U2, U3, U4, U5, U6, U7, U8 – I'll definitely re-check VKS's RERA history. The configuration is a 2BHK, 950 sqft. U19 – yes, it did feel a bit interior, that's why it was quiet, but good point about surrounding construction and basic runs. U10, U11, U12, U13 – maintenance breakdown is now top priority for me. This discussion is really helping me get a reality check beyond the shiny brochures. The hospital access seems manageable, but builder risk is high.
Maintenance costs are a huge factor, especially for empty nesters living on a fixed income. Ask for the current per sqft rate and what it includes. Often, parking, club membership, power backup charges are extra. And expect a 10-15% hike every year. ₹49L sounds like a good entry point, but the exit strategy or long-term costs matter more.
This is so true, U10. My society in Sector 75 started at ₹3/sqft but within 2 years, it's ₹4.5/sqft with all these 'additional' charges. It's a continuous drain. OP needs to get a detailed breakdown of maintenance from the builder/RWA (if formed).
Exactly! My current society charges ₹4/sqft but then there's an extra for car parking, gym, even for guest parking sometimes! OP, please get it in writing what's included and what's not.
And check if they have a sinking fund or corpus fund in place. That's crucial for future major repairs and upgrades. Many builders skip that, leaving residents with huge bills later.
As an NRI investor, I'd say ₹49L is on the lower side for a good 2BHK in a developed part of Noida. If it's VKS and that price, it's either very far flung or there are serious issues. For empty nesters, proximity to family/friends, good civic amenities and established infrastructure is more important than just a low price. Don't compromise on peace of mind.
Yatharth Hospital is indeed a decent option nearby. Also, Felix Hospital in Sector 137 is not too far, maybe 20-25 mins. So hospital access is not a deal-breaker for VKS Radha Kunj. The main issue remains the builder and the actual completion status of amenities. Have they received OC yet? Without OC, you can't even register your flat properly.
U15, Yatharth is good but for critical care, often people prefer Fortis or Max in Delhi/Gurgaon. And that's a long drive from 121. For empty nesters, a multi-speciality hospital within 10 minutes is ideal. Felix is okay, but again, traffic can be unpredictable.
True, distance to hospital matters a lot, especially in emergencies. And Noida traffic is no joke during peak hours. If it's a 15-20 min drive without traffic, it can easily become 30-45 mins with traffic. Please factor this in, OP.
VKS Radha Kunj is actually near Sector 121, not 119 exactly. It's a bit interior, which does make it quiet. For ₹49L, you're probably looking at a 2BHK of around 900-1000 sqft super area. Hospital wise, Yatharth is relatively close, maybe 15-20 min drive. But the main concern is indeed the builder. Maintenance costs are usually high initially because the society is new and builder is still involved.
U5, you're right about Sector 121. It's developing, but slowly. And the builder, VKS, they have a history of delays. For empty nesters, this uncertainty is not good. My uncle almost bought from them years ago, luckily backed out.
Bhai, VKS ka toh naam hi mat lo. Mera bhi same experience tha 2 years ago with their project in Ghaziabad. Promises bahut bade, delivery zero. Possession date pe date, amenities ka toh pucho hi mat. Pool kabhi chala nahi, gym mein equipment rusted. Empty nesters ko toh aur zyada peace of mind chahiye, yeh builder woh nahi dega. ₹49L mein you can find better, maybe a resale in a reputed society in Sector 7x or 13x.
Totally agree with U7! Resale is a much safer bet for peace of mind, especially for empty nesters. You see what you get. No hidden surprises with construction quality or delayed amenities. Plus, established RWAs manage maintenance better.
OP, I'm an empty nester too, recently moved to Sector 78. My advice: don't just look at the price. Look at the builder's reputation for finishing projects, getting OC (Occupancy Certificate) and forming a RWA (Resident Welfare Association). Builder-controlled maintenance is always a headache. ₹49L is a good budget for a 2BHK in Noida, but not if it comes with decades of mental stress.
Radha Kunj? Is that the one near Sector 119? ₹49L for what configuration? 2BHK ya 3BHK? Aur builder kaun hai? Naam sunke thoda doubt ho raha hai, VKS ka track record utna accha nahi hai Noida mein, especially for timely possession. Empty nesters ke liye quiet toh mil jayega but hospital access bhi check karna padega, nearby good ones are usually in Sector 50/51 or Fortis in Sec 62, which is a bit of a drive.
Exactly! Builder ka naam sunte hi darr lagta hai. My friend bought with VKS in another project, 2 saal se possession ke liye ghoom raha hai. Quiet toh mil jayega, but agar society mein residents hi na ho due to delays, toh quietness se kya fayda? OP, please check their RERA status thoroughly.
U2, you're spot on. VKS ka naam sunke hi red flags aa jate hain. Quiet society is fine, but you also need proper security and amenities that are actually functional, not just on paper. For empty nesters, lift maintenance, power backup are crucial. ₹49L mein 2BHK bhi mushkil hai if it's a decent size. What's the super area?
