Been living here since July 2018. And have already changed 2 houses. Keeping my fingers crossed that this third house prove to be good experience to us.
First one was a penthouse, way too big for our requirement. But, it had a nice view so we enjoyed living there for almost an year and had a good experience.
Never trust any brokers here. All are cheaters, once you pay them their commission they will wash their hands off you. Better to move in through a friend or owner directly. Went through a nightmare when we moved to a 4BHK in B5-1204 in the month of November 2020 from the penthouse. All the 3 toilets were damaged, they repaired it temporarily and assured us that they will get it repaired soon. The owner, a serving officer & broker, ex-army guy cheated on us and we had vacate the house within 4 months only. Somehow they managed to convince us that they are not getting labours to do the desired task for a month. After one month owner started asking us to pay for bathroom repair by saying "since you have been living in this house for quite some time now". In Feb 2021, WC of the common bathroom broke down and we escalated the issue to the MC. There was no support from the MC in this matter and they said very clearly that this is between owner and the tenant and they don't involve in personal matters. On the same night owner instead of repairing the bathroom asked us to vacate the flat. When we told him that financially and because of the pandemic we would not be able to shift, he assured us that he will bear our shifting charges. We thought he is a gentleman. So in the morning we called him to request that he should not deduct the one month rent which was a part of agreement and we will take care of our other shifting charges. He refused to our request and said that neither he will pay shifting charges and will also deduct one month rent & all the damages. He had the audacity to say this when we had submitted all the pictures & list of damages to him before we moved in to his house. Many times it happened that he would do all the sweet talks in the night and in the morning he would refuse. In the mean time we had pressure from broker that we should quietly vacate the house as he is a serving officer and is much more powerful than us. Finally, to recover our 1 lac of security deposit money, we stopped paying him rent and asked him to adjust it from the deposit. Common bathroom was not in a usable condition and it was causing inconvenience to my parents who are in their mid 70s of age. Under these circumstances we decided to move in to another house. We came across one gentleman who gave this Colonel a good piece of mind and somehow he agreed to return our security deposit after deducting 15 days rent instead of one month. We also agreed to it and vacated the house. Though everyone including the MC knew that the damage in the bathroom existed before we moved in to his house & it was a manufacturing defect, owner deducted Rs. 6500 for the WC repair from the security deposit. This money is not going to make him rich or us poor, but he showed his character. Not only this I was in touch with his previous tenant also, she told me that he had deducted some 9000 Rs from her security deposit also for the same reasons.
We are working people, moreover due to pandemic we didn't get much opportunity to interact with other residents, but later we came to know that there are many such owners like him and many tenants have faced this issue.
Anyone looking out to buy or rent out this particular flat B5-1204 please take it at your own risk.
Talking about the amenities and maintenance of the society, it is very well maintained by the MC. There is small market complex within the apartment where we get all the groceries, medical services, salon, boutique, optical shop etc.etc.
As long as you follow the rules and regulations even though you don't understand them (like access card of the amenities is issued to any 4 members of the family only), it is a nice place to live.
I can give more positives about the apartment like good location, good number of amenities, decent services for the maintenence fee we pay, kids play area, gardens/parks, parking, food/conventional store chains around the area, etc.
The apartments are good for house owners (people who are/were a part of indian army) and it's definitely good for civilians if the owner is good with decent standards otherwise the tenants have to go through a hard time throughout and also their advance amount while vacating the flat will not be garunteed. I think this problem exists in every part of bangalore but here it's little too much. Owners they don't care and management support owners and not civilian tenants. End of the day tenants can't really go against them even if they are right and the owner is wrong.
End of the day you might feel betrayed after all the sweetness showed so have to be careful here.
A good apartment villa to visit with military families residing. I loved the Tennis Ground when I saw a young determined lady practicing with shorts. I could not forget the calm ambience
I have been loving here for the last 8 months, nothing beats this place in terms of cost/sqft value and has been a great renting option for young working professionals.
High rise apartments. Panaromic view of lavish WT tower from the top floor balcony. Comfortable and Spacious rooms. Good security with consistent maintenance from retired Army residents.
One of the best residential gated community address in Whitefield area Bengaluru. All facilities available, with up coming metro station in Whitefield commute will be even better
One of the best apartments i have been to in BENGALURU. The only rpoblem is that its a bit far from the city. So services like porter, dunzo.etc wont be available
Green and Clean Area with lot of space. Most Spacious Appartments very well planned, "G" BLOCK most Luxurious one can ever dream of. The best place to stay in at leisure and peace, away from the noisy city
Huge campus. Great amenities. However, the apartments themselves are a little older.
You’re moving here iff you value the amenities and the safety over the apartment quality. Be ready to put some money down into improving the quality of the apartment for daily living.
The grounds are super clean, well organized and well done. The security is stupendous and the ability to manage most of the services on your phone is a welcome addition as well.
The community is very good and secured. There is a lot of space available for walking/jogging and for playing games as well. The ambience and maintenance is very good.
This is a huge complex meant for army personnel. Has lots of facilities including a bank in its complex. Sports facilities are also there. Security is good. Have piped lpg gas connections. See that electricity hardly trips in the complex. Have many facilities which other gated or RWA's do not have. Understand there is a Defense Canteen facility too. At the entrance there is a lovely fountain which would be a luxury these days. Nice.
