Lucknow real estate market is moving through a definite transition phase. More and more people are opting to stay in modern high rise apartments compared to traditional independent houses or kothis. Still if you want to buy an independent bungalow in Chowk you will have to be ready for a resale property. Since the region is semi residential and semi commercial there are a few apartments available with not many new projects in the pipeline. Being closer to old Lucknow and home to number of artisans and traders offer Chowk a traditional business benefit but its real estate segment is quite stagnant. Chowk is good if you are going to stay there but if you are seeking to buy for investment you can get many more options.
The price of a residential apartment and land plots in Chowk varies between Rs. 2000 to Rs. 3000 per square feet. The average rental for a 2 BHK apartment is between Rs.5000 and Rs 6000 depending on the location and the amenities provided. Considering the above mentioned facts you may decide one way or the other.
There is no good or bad in any investment decision. The goals for various individuals differ while investing in a region or property. I hope you can find some of the answers because Chowk is a semi residential and semi commercial center. Chowk beiong the epicenter of 'Chikan' and 'Zardozi' embroidery workers attracts a large number of business travelers all through the year.
