Mumbai is a major destination for home buyers. The rapid development of infrastructure and industry is attracting many professionals who will ultimately seek residential properties in the city. A wide range of choices is made available by builders and developers in Mumbai to home buyers to pick and choose. One of the ways to select properties is through the amenities offered by the project.
Builders and developers in Mumbai are constantly trying to lure home buyers by being creative with amenities and facilities. Choosing the right amenities involves some thought and homework before one blindly gets sold on them.
Depending on the budget, residential properties can be classified as budget, mid-segment, and luxury. The amenities offered by these projects will also depend on which segment the project falls into. Also, the maintenance of these amenities will be an expense that has to be borne by the property owner. So more the amenities, the higher the monthly maintenance bill.
Basic Amenities
1. Water Supply
Some areas in a city face water shortages. There must be adequate facilities to ensure 24×7 water supply. All ongoing projects in Mumbai should have adequate water storage facilities to avoid water shortage.
2. Security
Security translates to peace of mind and comfort. Every residential project must ensure that its members are safe. Security features like gated access, CCTV camera surveillance, intercom systems, and security personnel are expected from ongoing projects in Mumbai.
3. Power Back-up
If a particular locality has frequent power cuts then the residential project must have a power back-up facility to ensure continuous power supply. This becomes very important for apartments as climbing several flights is problematic for senior citizens and disabled people if there is a power cut.
These basic amenities should be available in all budget residential projects.
Special Amenities
Amenities like a swimming pool, clubhouse, landscaped and maintained gardens, gym, children’s play areas, and recreational halls are commonly seen in mid-segment projects.
Luxury projects boast lifestyle amenities that indulge the members to enjoy high-end facilities like sky lounges, roof-top gardens, spa and salon services, Wi-Fi connectivity, concierge services, movie theatres, yoga, and meditation centers, etc. Luxury project developers are constantly innovating to provide a plethora of amenities that improve the experience of comfort and luxury of home buyers.
You must always choose the amenities based on personal preferences, requirements, availability, and affordability. Amenities always come with a fixed or variable cost which can impact the long-term goals of the buyer and resale value.
