Importance of Amenities and Open Spaces in a Residential Building

By LODHA

The process of homebuying in India has evolved significantly. There used to be a time when Indian homebuyers mostly considered only two things while investing in a property - the construction quality and location. However, nowadays, with the emphasis on having good lifestyles, there has been a change in the homebuying pattern.

Homebuyers have started looking beyond location. They are more inclined towards parameters like open spaces and amenities, beyond the four walls. A home needs to be able to support the overall well-being of its residents; this has also led homebuyers to even prefer compromise on the location to buy a house in a development offering ample open spaces and a plethora of modern amenities.

At Lodha, guided by our vision of 'Building a Better Life' our emphasis has always been on creating complete ecosystem that not only provides great lifestyle but is also able to support dream and aspirations of the residents. For example, Palava City by Lodha has been built with 60% open spaces and offers several luxury amenities, such as an Olympic sports complex, a golf course, multiple clubhouses, swimming pools, gardens, school, and a supermarket, among others.

Why are open spaces important?

Hectic work schedules have contributed to rising stress levels and adding to this are issues of increased city traffic and pollution. In such a scenario, open spaces and greenery become crucial to connect with nature and relax. It is a known fact that open spaces with lots of greenery help in improving people's mental health and their overall well-being. A house with open and safe surroundings provides much-needed relaxation and is the need of the hour for Indian homebuyers.

Advantages of open spaces in a residential project

Let's look at some advantages of having open spaces in residential projects:

- A healthy lifestyle

A residential property with open spaces can contribute immensely towards ensuring the healthy lifestyle of its residents. A lush green environment can lead to the purification of air, thereby allowing the residents to breathe freely. Open spaces can also be in the form of a landscaped garden, walking or cycling track, playing area, etc. The residents can participate in various physical activities in these spaces to improve their mental and physical health.

- Enhances property value

Open spaces immensely enhance the value of a residential property. New-age homebuyers are increasingly looking for properties that provide ample open spaces. As a result, the demand for residential properties with open spaces is steadily increasing.
