This guide covers well developed residential areas and what to check before you decide.
A home is more than the building. The area around it decides your commute, daily convenience and what you can rely on. This guide lists what to look for in a well-developed residential area and how to check each point yourself.
Connectivity and workplace access: well developed residential areas
Check the real route to your office at the hours you travel, the nearest metro or bus stop and the quality of the approach road. A map distance is not a travel time.
Civic infrastructure
Ask residents about water supply, power cuts, waste collection and drainage, especially in the monsoon. Look at the condition of roads and footpaths.
Schools, hospitals and daily needs
List the schools, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and supermarkets you would use, and check how far each is and how long the trip takes.
Safety and community
Visit in the evening. Look at street lighting, the presence of residents’ associations and how gated or open the area is.
Approvals and planning
Check the layout and building approvals, RERA registration for the project and any planned roads or acquisitions that affect the plot. See our legal checklist for Patancheru for the type of checks.
Mature or emerging
Established areas have services in place. Emerging areas may offer more space but fewer services today. Decide what you can live without for the first few years.
