Buying a home is a big decision and often comes with a lot of questions, whether you are planning to buying a home in Mumbai or invest in a property anywhere else in India, one of the first questions that arises is, should we go for a 1 BHK home, a premium 2 BHK apartment or a luxurious 3 BHK flat?
On surface the question seems simple and merely a matter of space and size but when analysed closely it is a matter of family size, budget, lifestyle preferences, long term plans, vastu preferences and so much more. With the rising property pieces, land scarcity, and evolving landscape of the Mumbai real estate, it is essential to choose wisely and it is essential to plan your purchase beforehand.
At JSB Group, we are not just experts at building homes and communities that are spacious, affordable, and thoughtfully planned but we hold expertise in guiding you along every step of the way of your homebuying journey and helping you make the right choice, with this blog let us understand how to choose the right home configurations as per your needs:
Simply put BHK stands for Bedroom, Hall, and Kitchen, this means that a 1 BHK home has 1 bedroom, 1 hall, and 1 kitchen, a 2 BHK apartment has 2 bedrooms, so on and so forth. This term is commonly used in the Indian real estate market to describe the layout and size of a residential property
Some property listings may also see additions like 1.5 BHK which translates to 1 full bedroom and an additional smaller room half the size of your bedroom. The “BHK” terminology helps home buyers and renters quickly understand the general layout and size without going into much detail about square footage, amenities, and other important real estate instruments.
A Modest 1 BHK Home:
1 BHK homes are an ideal and a smart choice for working professionals, newly married couples, single parents, and individuals seeking rental incomes. These homes are typically more budget friendly and have lower EMIs, property taxes, lower upkeep costs and maintenance costs in comparison to a 2 BHK flat or a 3 BHK apartment. 1 BHK homes in Vasai, Virar, Nalasopara and beyond are in high demand due to the recent real estate boom in the area because of the proposed and ongoing government backed infrastructural projects and the rapid development of multiple private housing residential projects.
If you are someone one a lookout for a spacious 1 BHK in Vasai in an all inclusive secured, gated community with all the state of the art and modern amenities and 24*7 CCTV surveillance where your kids can play and your family feels safe, JSB Group’s JSB Nakshatra Veda is an address you definitely shouldn’t miss out on.
2 BHK flats are perfect for families with kids, work from home couples and remote workers looking for a home office, parents planning to grow their family, or anyone simply needing more space to breathe. Additionally, two-bedroom apartments resonate a balance between cost and comfort while offering more space for you and your family to grow, may it be for your kids to play, for yourself to breathe, or a room to work. Compared to a 1 BHK, 2 BHK flats offer better long term value and higher resale potential, making it an ideal choice for real estate investors and growing families.
Most of JSB Group’s residential properties in Vasai, Virar, Naigaon, and Nalasopara offer thoughtfully designed ready-to-move in 2 BHK flats with modern amenities, ample parking, spacious balconies, vastu-compliant layouts, and smart designs with excellent ventilation and sunlight in a secured and gated community, making them an ideal investment choice for homebuyers and real estate investors.
A 3 BHK apartment offers more than just space, it provides a diverse foundation and living situation for growing families with two or more kids, joint families, and others alike. What this translates to is more personal space, more privacy, more peace. For individuals hosting frequent guests or people sharing rooms, 3 BHK apartments are an ideal choice ensuring comfort and privacy both while being cost effective. Additionally, 3 BHKs have a far greater resale value, better rental yields, and a much higher return on investment (ROI) compared to 1 BHK and 2 BHK homes.
For homebuyers and investors looking to buy a 3 BHK apartment in Vasai, JSB Group offers premium residences at JSB Nakshatra Veda, which was built for belonging and perfect for growing families or individuals wanting more space.
Selecting the right BHK is undoubtedly an important decision while buying a home but the Indian real estate market is no stranger to how much people lean towards vastu and that’s why it is important to also consider the vastu of a home. Let’s look at some tips and suggestions to help you choose a home that is not just right for you but also vastu-compliant and serves all your needs.
1. North or East-Facing Entrance: Homes with entrances facing to the north and to the east are considered highly auspicious and are highly sought after. An East facing entrance is often linked with the rising sun and is said to bring in positive energy, success, and good health and a North facing entrance is said to attract wealth, prosperity, and opportunities. Beyond symbolism, North or East facing homes are well lit and ventilated due to the position and rotation of the sun.
2. Kitchen in the Southeast: According to vastu, the southeast direction is considered to be ideal for kitchen placement as it is ruled by the fire element also called as “agni”, this symbolism strikes because the kitchen is where food is prepared and food as we know it, is a major source of energy for us. Placing the kitchen in the southeast ensures the cooking aligns with natural flow of energy and prevents any conflict amongst family members.
3. Southwest facing Master Bedroom: The southwest direction is considered to be the best direction by many vastu experts for placement of your master bedroom as this direction is ruled by the Earth element and is responsible for stability and strength. Southwest facing homes are highly sought after as they attract stability, foster a harmonious relationship amongst families, and align with the Earth’s magnetic field.
4. Living Room in the Northeast: The northeast direction, is also known as the “Ishan Kon” and is considered very sacred as it represents clarity, spirituality, and openness, and is influenced by water. Owning a home with a northeast facing living room not just attracts positivity and wealth but also ensures a smooth flow of positive energy throughout your home and thus maintaining a holistic positive environment at home.
5. Toilets & Bathrooms in the Northwest or West: This direction is ideal because their placement is designed for cleansing and waste disposal, preventing negative energy from spreading to different parts of your home. The northwest direction is said to represent the air element which is believed to release negative energies. It is important to note that bathrooms should never be placed next to pooja rooms or kitchens as the two contrasting and conflicting energies can lead to health problems and financial losses.
