A mix of older houses and blocks alongside 2 gated towers (Mayank Towers and Prakash Towers). Gated towers here report about ₹4.2k a month in maintenance per flat. Older blocks often lack a lift or covered parking; check both on your visit. Ask for the occupancy certificate. GHMC now issues them for older buildings built to their sanctioned plan. After rain, look for seepage on top-floor ceilings and around old plumbing. In new towers, confirm the occupancy certificate and that the clubhouse, sewage plant and lifts are handed over. Newer belts increasingly buy tanker water when supply falls; ask the association what it spent last summer.

Most property deals at the local registrar are flats (58% flats, 31% houses, 11% plots). Registrations are up 1% since 2021, steady demand.
