Having trouble deciding between 2 BHK and 3 BHK? Let Us Help You Pick

CONS

Cost-effectiveness

Affordability (relatively) is a big advantage of a 2 BHK home. Even young couples can obtain safe and secure loans to buy a 2 BHK house with shorter tenure with affordable EMI. Especially in big cities where real estate prices are skyrocketing, 2 BHK home budgets offer some solace with a somewhat attainable budget for even young working couples

Lack of space, comfort & privacy

The very compactness of the property may be a disadvantage. Smaller spaces will lead to lesser furniture or multipurpose furniture that can either dig a hole in your pockets or put a dent in your comfort level. Also, storage can become an issue with smaller spaces. Either way, it can affect your way of life in the long run. There are joint families with three couples living together where the senior couple takes the living room with the other two couples taking the individual bedrooms, but what happens when a guest arrives? Privacy becomes a question mark at times like these. It can also get a bit chaotic when situations like working from home arise

Perfectly compact and easy to maintain

For young couples with a nuclear family setup, 2 BHK homes are a better and pocket-friendly option. 2 BHKs offer the optimal space for these separate nuclear families without compromising much on other factors such as lifestyle. When the budget and family are smaller, maintenance also becomes easy. Smaller spaces are easy to maintain requiring lesser cost (utility bills) and labour. With couples where both partners are working, the 2 BHK option seems more practical

Not optimal for a growing family

Whether it’s a young couple with two kids or a joint family as shown in the previous example, 2 BHK is not for a growing family or a family that gets frequent visits from their relatives or friends. Kids like sharing rooms or being with their parents, but once they grow, even they want privacy

Availability

A Plethora of options and varieties of 2 BHK homes are available in big cities with various amenities and utilities to choose from the market. This makes 2 BHK homes a primary object of attraction for first-time home buyers. Families who shift from their home towns for work purposes prefer 2 BHK, especially when moving to bigger cities when they don’t want to spend on something extravagant

Lesser resale value

2 BHK is a good option to rent or lease, but when it comes to resale, it may not yield higher returns and thus not a good investment option in that sense

Ample room and privacy

With a bigger space, there is more room for personal space. Smaller families can turn the extra room into an activity room like a study room, workspace or home library or keep it as a guest room to preserve their privacy on the arrival of friends and family. Spacious houses are far more comfortable and functional in the longer run

Higher Cost

Budget is a constraint when buying a 3 BHK, especially in metro cities like Chennai and even more so with better amenities in popular areas. It can be daunting for first-time home buyers who take loans as the tenure can be long, and the EMI can be high. This will lead them to compromise on other factors of life. But, at Isha Homes, you will find amazing choices of 3 BHK at affordable prices

Better for the future

3 BHK are particularly great for investment because of their higher resale values. Usually, 3 BHK homes in luxury apartments come with many amenities. Therefore, renovating them and reselling them will yield higher returns. Also, as rentals, they can bring in a higher cost. Even if you are not looking at it that way, 3 BHK can sustain your growing family, providing you space to plan your future without hindrances

Hard to maintain

It is a no-brainer that bigger spaces are difficult to maintain, both cost-wise and labour-wise. Utility bills will be higher, and the time taken to clean and maintain the apartment will be longer. But, that’s a fair price we are to pay for a property that provides ample space for a comfortable living.

          Comfort is key

Most 3 BHK apartment homes are in complexes with perks and amenities like a pool, gym, etc. They help elevate your lifestyle by infusing luxe into it. These luxury complexes also provide a better work-life balance by providing multiple sources of recreation within your complex.

             Limited availability

With compact housing being all the rage, 3 BHK options that tick your checklist might be harder to find. There might have to be compromises made in other terms.
