Between Villas and Apartments

Many interested home buyers in Goa usually struggle with a very decisive question when it comes to purchasing a home especially when it is a first home, Villa or Apartment .. 

The most preferred choice is usually given to apartments but the desire is usually for villas. Most if not all consider that villas are the more luxurious home where you are master of your own home and you can do pretty much as you wish with it. Apartments are commonly given second preference because of the lesser cost of owning a home.

Obviously it depends on the property prices and the current funds you are capable of give out for purchase the property. But on a realistic note, both apartments and villas are residences in a league of their own

Apartments today are not the bland matchbox size rooms fit inside a building with an attached toilet, kitchen and balcony. Flats today are designed to provide the total home experience and more. Flats are built keeping in mind the needs and spacial requirement of a homeowner. The resident is generally provided with a proper hall, spacious bedroom, open bathroom and toilet and a balcony with a view. Not only these but residents are also provided with a list of amenities such as 24 hours water supply, back up generators, lift service, a private parking and very commonly even a swimming pool. All that within a gated complex with a functional security service. So it can easily be said that when buying a flat, there is a true value for money.

With respect to villas in Goa, the prices are generally higher than the cost of apartments themselves because the age old fact remains indisputable, Villas are homes that is totally your own. You are the owner of a property and land on which the property is built on. Not just that but the property can easily be renovated or redone, new features built and new constructions can be made by scrapping the old one. It is a luxury expense and something that generally will incur costs depending on the visions and desires of the homeowner. 

So think practical and choose your home by deciding what you intend to do with your home in the future before deciding to buy either villas or flats in Goa
