Lucknow: up to three decades ago, a plot of land may be an asset that most people see for life goals.
Aside from being “permanent address” after the construction of houses, it is investment and security for their future generation.
The dream was guided by budget factors and location – in that order – for most middle-income families.
Indiranagar, Aliganj, Alambagh and Mahanagar are among the housing colonies sought.
The size of the plot ranges from 2,000 sqft to 8,000 sqft and the garden decorates the front of the house.
The basics of good roads, effective drainage and proximity to public transportation used to be the main problem.
To have a park in front of the house means you are lucky! When the city grows, more housing colonies begin to develop and housing planned to be affordable in other areas.
With the population coming in real estate booms and ‘apartment culture’ seamlessly take over the city.
With young professionals who settled in the city, it was not the “big house” they wanted but it was easily managed and safe.
“Comfort of home, security, affordability, independence, and ready-made facilities such as sports for children and a safe room for parents provide encouragement to people who live more than a single occupancy,” said Khalid Masood, Managing Director of Shalimar Corp.
Ltd.
With it coming “add-on” that has no limits, said Ashish Singh, a legal expert in property problems.
“Now, the apartment offers a private cinema, swimming pool, cafe, and shopping complexes all within a minute of your home,” he said.
While the Lucknow Development Authority remains a trusted developer, many private players have made names for themselves with quality construction.
The community has emerged in the extension of Gomtinagar or Jalan Shaheed, a little far from the main city, but people don’t mind because the distance that can be managed and houses are worth the business.
In fact, the look of large open spaces, wide roads and ancient cafes often bring out expression, “this doesn’t look like in Lucknow.” That’s because of these various choices that make Lucknow preferred young professionals and retirees.
As a central-convenient city that has excellent connectivity to Delhi, this is a wise choice for home buyers.
The city has excellent schools, markets and health facilities to be offered to residents, Masood said.
“Above that, the warmth and culture offered by Lucknow is incomparable in North India.
It makes it the first choice for the resolution of people from other cities too,” he added.
