Property In a Gated Community Vs. Stand Alone Property
One
of the questions which I keep getting asked by various property buyers is
whether I would recommend a stand alone property or a property in a gated
community. The phrase “gated community” conjures up an image of security guards
in a walled off compound. Gated communities are very popular these days and
most of the builders are highlighting it as an important feature in their
promotional campaigns. Let me elaborate about both the properties in detail:
Gated
Community:
In
gated communities, the common roads within the development, parks &
gardens, security, rubbish disposal, swimming pool, club house/ gym etc. are
all managed either by the builder or by a property management company. The
advantage of sharing all these facilities reduces the cost of bearing these
facilities. The more property owners share the services, the cheaper it becomes
for an individual property owner. Also, property owners have the comfort and
assurance that all these services are taken care of especially when they are
thousands miles away from their property. And that if anything goes wrong then
somebody will attend to the matter while they are away. In short, gated
communities are more secure and safe and hence more ideal for non resident
owners. Particularly the senior citizens do not need to venture out for
shopping, meditation or recreation. The open areas provide great quality of
life.
Now days developers & builders focus on continuing to remain involved
in the upkeep and management of such gated communities bringing professionalism
in maintenance & governance. If you
are buying a property within a gated community whether directly from the builder
or from the existing owner, it is easier to know the legal status of the
property as most of the sellers have their documents required for buying 7
selling up to date and thus saves a lot of time for the buyer. Also, getting facilities
like water & power supply will be easier and tension free in case of gated
communities. Builders & Developers may provide you an option of making
payments in instalments for a longer time period as compare to a seller selling
a stand alone property.
Stand
Alone Property:
In
stand alone properties, you are able to build your dream home customized to
your requirements. In stand alone properties, owners have the freedom to choose
the service provider and if they are not pleased with the services of the
provider then they can terminate their services and choose another one. In
stand alone properties, one is able to control his expenses and costs and not
bound to pay society charges or collective charges. If someone is buying a
stand alone land for house or cottage then he has full freedom to make changes to
the property and add rooms or amenities over time.
While you are in control of
your own property, you have limited control on your surrounds and so you may
find yourself surrounded by barren land or an ugly structure. In gated
community, you benefit from a master planned community with a certain quality of
features. But you are really on your own and expenses such as maintenance &
security are solely your burden while in gated communities, they are shared.
Sometimes people love to be alone while buying a holiday home property and do not
want any hustle & bustle of neighbours, stand alone properties are best
suited for such people.
Our
Recommendations:
All
in all both kinds of properties offer enough pluses and challenges and one may
try and match one’s needs with what’s being offered. We suggest you to buy a property in a small
gated community which on one hand may save you from the hustle & bustle
while on the other keep your loved ones and your property safer & more
secure as compare to stand alone property. It also saves lots of money and your
precious time to upkeep and maintains the property. Also, from the resale point
of view a well maintained property with good gentry will always fetch you good
returns in the future.
Keeping
it all in our mind, we are coming up with residential communities which are not
larger in size but studded with all the basic facilities in beautiful locations
in hill stations and also provide maintenance & security services for the
property as well. It makes the investment of our buyers safe and sound.

Better Place for Real Estate Investment in Uttarakhand- Kumaon or Garhwal
Uttarakhand
is known as the abode of God (#Dev Bhoomi) from ancient times. It mainly
comprises of two parts, The Kedarkhand and The Manakhand. The name Kedarkhand
is derived from the Kedarnath Dham and known as #Garhwal region while the name
Manakhand is derived from Kailash Mansarovar Dham and hence known as #Kumaon
region. The state of #Uttarakhand is not only a place of famous temples but
also a place for quality education and tourism.
In
recent years, Uttarakhand is witnessing some major construction projects
including hotel projects, #real estate residential projects as well as
commercial projects. This is why the prices of properties in Uttarakhand have
become very competitive which turns Uttarakhand a sound place for the real
estate investment. Today, many individuals are buying properties in Uttarakhand
for settling down after retirement which is a good option. But sometimes people
might get confused that which part of Uttarakhand would be more feasible for buying
property & real estate investment?
Garhwal
region comprises of Dehradun, Haridwar, #Mussorrie, Rishikesh, Kedarnath,
Badrinath, Yamunotri, Gangotri, #Auli, #Dhanaulti, Tehri etc. while Kumaon
region comprises of Nainital, Haldwani, Rudrapur, #Pantnagar, #Almora, Kausani,
Jageshwar, #Devidhura, Pithoragarh, #Ramgarh, Mukteshwar, Ranikhet, Lamgara
etc. The capital of Uttarakhand (Dehradun) is in Garhwal region while the high
court of Uttarakhand (#Nainital) is in Kumaon region. Because of many big and
famous religious places in Garhwal belt, people visit these places more.
Both
the regions have many famous hill stations. Mussorrie, Auli, Dhanaulti, Tehri
etc. are in Garhwal region while Nainital, #Mukteshwar, #Kausani, Ranikhet,
Pithoragarh, Almora, #Munsyari etc. are in Kumaon region. Kumaon has the valley
of lakes or lake’s district known as Nainital while Garhwal has Queen on Hills,
Mussorrie. Kumaon has #Queens’s meadows- Ranikhet, and mini Switzerland-
Kausani and Lamgara while Garhwal has the beautiful valley on Auli and
Dhanaulti. Most of the hill stations in both the regions experience #snowfalls
during winters. Corbett National Park is in Ramnagar (Distt.- Nainital). Kumaon
is also known as the gateway of Kailash Mansarovar.
The
major difference between Garhwal and Kumaon regions are their hills. The hills
of Kumaon are greener than the hills of Garhwal. The long Deodar, Pine and Oak
trees make the climate cooler and the views more majestic. The Hills of Kumaon
are more soothing and eye catching and give the best treat to the birdwatchers
as these green hills are the paradise for birds. One can see the most amazing
and different species of birds throughout the year in places like Pangoot,
Mukteshwar, Lamgara, Munsyari, Shehearfatak etc. The hills of Garhwal are more
barren than Kumaon thus attracts more landslides than Kumaon belt. Also, Gharwal has massive rivers (The Ganges, Yamuna, Alaknanda etc.) around
which the roads have been constructed; these rivers cause more erosion than the
ones in Kumaon. It is one of the most important factors that builders
and investors are inching towards Kumaon region for better real estate and
investment opportunities. This is why the prices of properties in the Kumaon
belt have become very competitive and thus makes it a popular choice for the
real estate investments.
In
terms of #infrastructure, better roads, medical facilities, #industries etc.
the Kumaon belt is well developed as compared to Garhwal belt. One of the main
causes behind this is- as we know the hills of Garhwal are more barren with
lesser vegetation and attracts more landslides, the construction in this region
is really difficult to take place. There is always a high risk of natural
calamity to take palce and that is why Builders, #developers, industrialists,
investors have started keeping distance from the Garhwal belt. Another reason
which we have also mentioned above that the massive rivers which flow from
Garhwal to the plains cause more erosion than the ones in Kumaon and hence these
rivers wash away all the required minerals and micro organisms which are
essential for vegetation. This is why The Kumaon region is attracting more
developers, investors and industrialists.
So,
one can easily determine, analyse and finalize that in terms of infrastructure,
real estate development opportunities, transportation, greenery etc. the Hills
of Kumaon are better than the hills of Garhwal. Buying a property in the hills
of Kumaon can fetch good returns in the future and is an ideal choice for the #investment
or a #second/ vacation homes.

Uttarakhand- The Most Favourable Real Estate Hill Destination
This
is true that 80% people in our country desire to spend their life in the lap of
nature surrounded by #hills, pollution free, noise free environment with access
of fresh vegetables and fruits. To fulfill their desire, people have started
moving towards hills to buy a suitable property not only for accommodation
purposes but also for investment. With the growing popularity of real estate as
an investment, these hill destinations offer fantastic investment opportunities
as the demand for properties in hill stations are growing. The hills of #Uttarakhand have turned out to be one of the most favoured locations for
residential development in our country. People are moving to Uttarakhand to buy
a property not only for second home/ vacation home but also for investment
because of appreciation of property prices in last few years.
Real
Estate prices in most of the famous #hill stations of Uttarakhand have gone up
by upto 80% in last couple of years. Experts forecast a rise of upto 100% in
the next few years and also forecast that some new hill destinations in
Uttarakhand itself come into limelight because of the increasing demand and an
urgency to maintain the demand supply ratio.
Uttarakhand
is known as the land of God and divides into two main regions popularly known
as #Garwhal region and #Kumaon region. Garwhal region is the home of Kedarnath,
Badrinath, Yamunotri, Gangotri, #Haridwar, Rishikesh, Hemkunt Sahib etc. while
Kumaon region is the home of Poorna Giri Temple, #Jageshwar temple, Baijnath
Temple, Chitai, Ghorakhal temple, caves of Paatal Bhuwneshwar, Kainchi temple,
Reetha Sahib etc.
Uttarakhnad
is not only known for its famous hill stations and temples but also for quality
education as #Dehradoon and #Nainital district of Uttarakhand provide one of the
best institutes, schools and colleges in India.
Uttarakhand
is full of unspoiled beauty. The cool climate in the most parts of this state
is the best option to beat away the summer blues. Most part of the state is
blessed with beautiful mountains, captivating views, a great climate and a
healing environment. Places like Haridwar, #Rishikesh, Mussorrie, Dehradun,
Tehri, Auli, Dhanaulti in Garhwal region and Nainital, Rudrapur, Almora, #Ranikhet, #Lamgara, #Mukteshwar, Kausani, #Ramgarh, Pithoragarh etc. in Kumaon region
are attracting more and more people for investment in the real estate sector. Many
places in the hills of Uttarakhand offer splendid view of the imposing #The
Great Himalayan Range including Nanda Devi, Trishul, Om Parvat, Panchachuli,
Chaukhamba etc.
In
recent years, Uttarakhand is witnessing some major construction projects
including hotel projects, real estate residential projects as well as
commercial projects. This is why the prices of properties in Uttarakhand have
become very competitive which turns Uttarakhand a sound place for the real
estate investment. Today, many individuals are buying properties in these areas
for settling down after retirement which is another good option.
So, buying a property in nearby places of
Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital, Mussorrie, Almora, Lamgara, Mukteshwar etc. can
fetch you good returns in the future. There
is a lack of available good land parcels on the hills. So, when planning a
residential project on the hills, some of the main factors that the developers
look for are water availability, accessibility, less tree density (as cutting
of trees is a big crime in the hills), friendly land terrain, electricity and
most importantly the view. Finding a land which satisfies all these criteria is
extremely difficult. With the demand for property investment in these places increasing and shortage of land parcels
available, the prices are likely to keep rising which somehow makes investment
on the hills a better proposition than the plains.
The
demand for owning property in the hills of Uttarakhand is booming and making it
one of the most viable economic investments for the buyers. The state of
Uttarkhand not only enjoys the proximity with the National Capital Region
(Delhi- NCR which is approx. 250 kms. from Haldwani) but also shares its
borders with the state of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and UP and this along with
some other important factors makes Uttarakhand one of the most favourable place
for #Second Home/ #Vacation Homes or #real estate investment.
