What's available?

If you are wondering whether your decision to invest in a villa would require you to seek it in the peripheries, you are wrong.

However, such options are not in plenty. Villa developments in the city are available for a budget of Rs 55 lakh and above. Large homes may command up to Rs 16 crore, simply for the space and amenities they provide. Such homes may be as big as 21,000 sqft which is 6BHK, plus 5 bath areas. Bavdhan boasts a few homes such as these.

What to take note of when investing in villas?

Mind the law: Make sure that you know local land laws, building developments regulation etc. Keep in mind the masterplan of the city, too.

Mind the vicinity: Recently, some housing societies along the Sus Road faced a hard time due to a garbage processing unit nearby. According to the Central Pollution Control Board, garbage processing plants have to be located at least five kilometers outside city limits, and in this case, rules may have been violated. Therefore, know your vicinity before jumping into an investment.
