Welcome To DWT Listing Theme
It all started on a warm Sunday afternoon when I met my college friend, Ankit, for coffee in Sector 18, Noida. After catching up about life and work, he dropped a surprise—“I’ve decided to look for a 2 BHK apartment in Noida.”
Knowing how skeptical Ankit had always been about property investment, I was curious. He explained, “Renting for 5 years has drained me. I want something of my own. Noida seems like the right place.”
That single conversation kicked off a months-long journey of research, site visits, loan discussions, and decision-making. In this blog series, I’ll take you through Ankit’s complete experience buying a 2 BHK apartment in Noida—from confusion to clarity.
When Ankit first considered buying property, his shortlist included Gurugram, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. But over time, Noida stood out for various reasons:
Well-planned infrastructure
Good connectivity via Metro and Expressways
Reasonably priced housing compared to Delhi and Gurugram
Tech parks and MNC offices nearby
Green spaces like parks and golf courses
He said, “The value proposition of a 2 BHK apartment in Noida is unbeatable—especially in sectors like 74, 76, and 137.”
Initially, Ankit wanted something under ₹50 lakhs. But soon he realized that if he wanted:
A modern layout
Security and amenities
A well-connected location
…he’d need to expand the budget to around ₹60–₹70 lakhs.
He decided to go for a ready-to-move 2 BHK apartment in Noida, so he wouldn’t have to deal with construction delays.
Ankit also began evaluating how much home loan he could get, checked his CIBIL score, and met with a few bank reps to understand EMIs and pre-payment options.
Ankit prepared a checklist for his ideal 2 BHK apartment in Noida:
At least 1000 sq. ft. of carpet area
Modular kitchen and wardrobes
Balcony with a view
Covered parking
Power backup and security
Access to gym, pool, or clubhouse
He avoided properties with hidden maintenance charges or legal issues—thanks to hours of YouTube videos and talking to actual residents on forums.
He started visiting properties every weekend. Here’s what he found:
Sector 76: Close to metro, decent mid-range projects
Sector 137: Ideal for IT professionals, newer projects, good amenities
Sector 50: Expensive, but great lifestyle
Sector 150: Greenest sector, but slightly far from central Noida
Every time he visited a project, Ankit would share videos, floor plans, and reviews with me. His energy was infectious. This wasn’t just a house hunt; it was a personal mission.
In the first few weeks, Ankit learned some critical lessons:
Don’t rush into booking without comparing
Visit at different times of day to check noise and traffic
Ask about future development—a flyover or metro nearby can change property value
Talk to existing residents, not just salespeople
He almost booked one unit in Sector 137 but dropped it after realizing the builder had pending legal clearances.
