Q: I’ve heard a lot about this locality of Secunderabad. How good is it to consider it as a choice for renting a 2 BHK apartment? I want to stay at a place which has that homely feel to it, and not very commercial. Please help. Thanks!
Yes, the metro rail officials paid them a sum of a whopping Rs 6 cr to get hold of the 6000 sq yards of land to construct the 18m wide metro over head bridge here, provided that it doesnt cause any damage to the temple.
The locality is good and all, but there has been some issues regarding the lake here. The Ramannakunta lake. It has been badly encroached upon, there are slums all around it. Also non-stop garbage dumping goes on. It has become this cesspool of germs and diseases. And to think that at point this used to be a source of water supply for the residents of Secunderabad!
Ok so the corporation has asked all property owners to lay underground sewer pipelines for better diversion of the sewage. Also, from what Ive heard they’re planning to convert it into a ‘mini tank bund’. There will also be major desiltation to clean it up. They are also removing all those illegal encroachments.
The best part about the living in Secunderabad would be the two metro stations at your disposal. Both Line 1 and Line 3 pass through this region, so you have the Secunderabad metro station on the former line and the Secunderabad RO metro station on the latter.
Of these the Line 3 will pass through the ISKCON area. Intially there were some doubts regarding the damage that might be caused to the temple, but then it was all sorted out between the temple authorities and the metro rail officials.
Hey! Secunderabad is located at an excellent position. There are many residential projects here where you can find a nice 2 BHK apartment for yourself. The Jal Vayu Towers, Varta News Paper, Sai Baba Mandir and Loyer Tank Bund are all very close. The NTR stadium and Indira Park are also in a close proximity. Though there are commercial establishments in the locality, the residential areas are very peaceful as well. There’s Gandhi Hospital close by. The Secunderabad-Musheerabad Road is also quite close which provides good reachability to this locality
Since you wish to stay at a homely place, you should probably go for one of the gated communities that are present here. It’s very secure, has many families, and the ambience is great for family-oriented people. This locality is very close to Nagpur Highway, but the sounds and noise cannot be heard here giving you a peaceful neighbourhood. There are many schools and colleges around, and the public transport is really good that helps children commute easily without consuming too much time. Entertainment wise, there are multiplexes and resorts around. You’ll find a lot of greenery in Secunderabad
Hey! Secunderabad is a great place to stay at. I’ve been residing in this area for a while now. The location is very central and convenient. All the facilities you generally need are all located in the surrounding areas. For instance, there are supermarkets, bakeries, vegetable shops, restaurants etc. Also there are many shopping centres, salons, parlours and boutiques too. Most of all, the accessibility is really great. The famous Paradise Hotel is close by. There are banks, hospitals, pharmacies around too which is very convenient. If you’re a religious person, you would be happy to know that there are many temples here too
