When one looks at Lucknow, the city has grown in all the directions in last few years. There are developments in Gomti Nagar extension, Raebareilly road, Sultanpur road, Hardoi road and Kanpur road. However, if you ask anyone in Lucknow his preference for buying a new home, the answer in all likelihood will be Gomti Nagar extension or Shaheed path (which is the official name), unless there are budget constraints, one is facing. The rental values for flats in this area are easily 1.5 times a similar apartment in the second best residential area. Despite a relatively new development, the locality is being considered even by old Lucknowites to move in and stay.

The question is then, why this rush to buy homes in this area. To get the answer, we should look at multiple factors. Gomti Nagar extension has an excellent connectivity to the airport and the railway station through Shaheed path. The second thing one looks at is the amenities in the area. Whether you look for entertainment facilities or shopping area, there is no close rival to this location. The largest and the newest mall, the phoenix city mall is located here, which has got a gaming area and a multiplex. There are multiple facilities for sports with an international cricket stadium, Ekana cricket stadium located here. The area is also blessed with many schools affiliated to different boards, where students from all over Lucknow prefer to study. The medical facilities in the vicinity are the best in the town.

Another reason why this locality emerges as the most preferred destination for home buyers, is the most modern apartment complexes on offer by the best builders in the town.

Integrated township living – Need of our times

Imagine living in a neighbourhood where everything you need is a stone’s throw away. Sounds too good to be true? Well, integrated townships have made this dream a reality and therefore, have fulfilled a lifestyle need of new age home buyers.

Integrated township living – Need of our times

Self-sufficient integrated townships are fast becoming the order of the day, and are popular among developers and residents alike. It is an ultra-modern and cosmopolitan real estate model, featuring the combination of residential and commercial complexes with associated infrastructure such as schools, colleges, shopping centres and various other facilities. Traditional urban living is plagued by a range of issues such as overcrowding and shortage of space. Integrated townships help combat these problems by creating miniature urban ecosystems that offer an abundance of space, security and accessibility. From cost-effectiveness to convenience – the range of benefits offered by integrated townships are endless.

Easy Access to Essentials
The COVID-19 pandemic served to demonstrate the need for easy accessibility to essentials, as the movement was heavily restricted. Living in an integrated township ensures that you never have to worry about getting to a supermarket or hospital again. All the benefits of city life are offered within the project, with all essential services being available at close vicinity. By choosing an integrated township, you can wave goodbye to all the hassles of commuting!

Perfect Environment for Children
Urban environments are causing children to become increasingly cooped up in cramped apartments, resulting in excessive use of technology and lack of exposure to open, green spaces. Integrated townships effectively combat this issue through the creation of numerous public spaces for children such as parks and playgrounds. Moreover, the presence of creches and day-care centres make it a convenient place to raise children, with heightened security also ensuring peace of mind for parents. Townships enable children to grow up in safe, clean and green spaces, with no dearth of opportunities to run around and enjoy their childhood.

Great Value for Money
While a township property may seem like a large investment, a closer look reveals that it is more cost-effective than buying an independent property. As townships are often located in the outskirts of cities, they offer a wide range of amenities at reasonable prices, while ensuring great connectivity to the main city. Moreover, townships offer a better return on investment and great potential rental incomes. Additionally, integrated townships offer the added advantage of lower maintenance costs, as service taxes and maintenance charges are distributed over a large population.

Enhanced Lifestyle
Apart from essentials such as schools and supermarkets, integrated townships also feature a range of facilities and benefits to enable an optimal lifestyle. These projects offer an escape from the claustrophobic city, with an abundance of ventilation, greenery and open spaces. Moreover, the reduced need for long commutes also allows you to spend more time doing the things you love. Provisions for jogging, yoga, meditation and other enjoyable activities make living in integrated townships an extremely wholesome and satisfying experience.

There are, however, very few integrated township projects in Lucknow. Paarth Republic is one such project, which is in advanced stage of development and offers various residential options to meet requirements of different budgets.

Increasing demand for 3 BHK apartments

The real estate market in India is going through an interesting phase. While on one hand, the reducing home loan interest rates and stable prices are attracting new home seekers, the current home owners are looking to upgrade on the other. The mid income segment housing space is heating up and the data suggests that there is a fast increasing trend in enquiries.

The data for different towns and projects in India shows, that over the years 2 BHK homes were most preferred by new buyers everywhere. This also resulted in a skewed planning by developers, which favoured a higher percentage of homes to be constructed as 2 BHK and very few as 3 BHKs. However, with improving income levels and increasing lifestyle demands, a certain shift towards 3 BHK apartments is being observed. These 3 BHKs are also offered in some cases as 2BHK+study configuration, making these more affordable, while providing that extra room that can be used as needed.

If we look at the evolution of this demand, we can find a few strands of it in the way the society is growing. As the nuclear families have become more common and a typical family has 4 members, including 2 kids, the requirements of 3 rooms beyond the living room is a basic requirement for a typical middle class family in cities. It is no more an acceptable trend to accommodate guests in the main bed room or in some temporary sleeping area. The kids rooms are also designed in a way that they can’t be used for guests, therefore the need for a third bedroom is felt by most mid-income families.

Another reason, why this trend for 3 BHKs is increasing is the affordability. The incomes have increased, while the prices have not moved up for homes over last 3-4 years. With interests on home loans at the lowest ever levels, suddenly the same EMI can help buy a bigger apartment. There are instances across India, where a builder has also helped the existing buyers waiting for possession, upgraded to a larger unit without changing the financial impact to the customer, using a decrease in interest cost of nearly 2-2.5%, to cover for the additional unit cost. That has also been welcomed by buyers.

A huge jump in 3 BHK homes in non-metro towns, like Lucknow is also observed due to the offered price point. A 3 BHK home in Lucknow can be bought for 60-80 lac, a sweet price point for most families. The other reason which has apparently pushed more people towards a larger unit is the impact of work from home employees. With pandemic starting a new preference both for employees and employers, where work from home is quite acceptable, the need for larger homes is felt more than ever. The extra room which can be used as a temporary office setup, can also be used as a guest room, when needed.

Paarth Infrabuild offers beautiful and well-designed 3 BHK homes in different projects in Lucknow at prices which are attractive for md-income families.    

Does your home reflect your personality?

Every home, even if constructed with the same design, feel different. This difference comes in due to the ways one decorates or maintains his home. No wonder, the home reflects the owner’s personality in more ways than one. The design of your home can be an expression of yourself and you build a story through the colours and styles that you choose. Your home is your haven, so when it comes down to it, it should reflect the people who live in them. There are many ways it happens. Let’s look at these, which can bring you closer to the vibes of your home.

Lifestyle

If you are someone who likes to be organized in life, then the chances are that your house will be clean and spacious, and there won’t be a pile of clutter in sight. Homes with lots of storage and simple designs reflect those who are logical and calm, and like to have things planned out.

Accessories

For those who love the outdoors, homes will be full of plants and flowers, with a garden bursting at the seams. It is important to make sure your home reflects your lifestyle, as how you feel in your day to day life should be the same when you’re in your home.

There are many different ways that personality can be reflected through the accessories around your home. You may be a fairly quiet person, but the yellow cushions on your sofa or the floral tablecloth you choose in your kitchen could reflect your positive outlook in life.

The pictures you have on your walls or the designs you choose for your curtains could also reflect your love of animals, without actually taking over the house. It’s nice to inject your personality into all the different accessories around your home and garden.

Experiences

A great way to find out about someone is to learn about his or her experiences, and often these can be seen around the home. Homeowners that spend a lot of time traveling often bring home keepsakes and trinkets that can be found in various rooms, showing the experiences that they have had in life.

The experiences you have tell a story and are reflected in who you are and how you feel, and this is then reflected in your home decorations. It’s great for someone to be able to walk into your home and really feel that it represents you.

Relationships

The way you decorate your home can definitely affect the dynamics of any relationships you have in the house. Think about all the different people who live with you and how their personality could also be reflected in the way your home is decorated.

If you have kids your home may have some smaller pieces of furniture or rooms with brighter walls. If you live with your other half, you may choose colours that reflect love and romance, turning your house into a warm and cosy home to share together. 

Paarth Infrabuild offers homes, which one can customize to a great extent basis his personality and lifestyle choices. There are homes of different sizes and designed differently, creating communities around these choices the customers make.
