Why are flats in kolkata are too small? is it worth living?

Q: I am amazed to see that the 3BHK flats are built in carpet area of 2BHK flats, with too small gallery, small bathrooms, small kitchen, small bedrooms even in the outskirts of the city. even if lots of space is available. ARE you all humans or pigeons? a fat person cant even enter the bathroom. i am disappointed to see the planning of flats in kolkata. its disasterous.

Good evening Deblina!!
Can you explain which project are you talking about and where is the project strategically located? What are the sizes of a 3 bhk flat in it and its current asking rate per square foot?

Hi Deblina,
We must understand that there is a scarcity of land for development in Kolkata, while preference of buyer does not go very far in the adjoining areas. Kolkata is also not seeing the rapid expansion like National Capital Region or Mumbai. The property buyers in Kolkata primarily buy apartments for living in them or getting a rental income. So, they look for cheaper option. Can you tell me which areas of Delhi-NCR, MMR and Bangalore will give you 1BHK in 10-15 L? Sizes of the flat depends on the BHK configuration.

Hello Deblina,
The reason is people of Kolkata don't want to pay the higher rate. They always look for affordable rate. And most importantly, people in Kolkata have their own house, very less people who do not have their own. So, second homes are always for rental purpose or investment.
