The thick foliage lining the streets of this neighborhood provides a much needed respite from the heat throughout the year.

Need for Luxury Apartments
With the resurgence in real estate market, selection of a property for a first time buyer is daunting. With the growing needs of family and children, a spacious home with well equipped utilities and secure environment is something one cannot compromise on. As much as the interiors of a home matter the neighborhood and locality matter even more.
In terms of a secure space, luxury apartments provide all needs within their premises for example, a shopping complex, a hospital, and emergency services to name a few. Compact homes on the other hand, even though low on budget, lack the very things one needs to have a comfortable life after work, which is breathing space. Cramped up rooms, common walls between adjoining flats, windows and doors of neighbors peeking into yours hence no privacy, and to add to it the dingy, poorly-lit rooms and public spaces like corridors etc make it very undesirable to invest in a compact home. Some of the detailed list of amenities are:
