Pros and cons
Arvind Forest Trails
Pros
- A real forest theme: a walking trail, Miyawaki forest, lily pond and zen garden run through the community
- Low density, with about 16 villas per acre (253 villas on 15.59 acres)
- 57.51% of the land is open area, as filed with RERA
- Honest sizes: the advertised 2,062 sq ft is the RERA carpet area plus balcony, so there is almost no loading
Cons
- The entry price of ₹3.45 Cr works out to about ₹19,400 per sq ft of RERA carpet area on the Premium villa
- Each Premium villa carries only about 694 sq ft of undivided land share, so most of the price is the building, not land
- The land is under a joint development agreement, with the landowner holding a 35% share of the project
- No major IT park lies within 10 km, so most office commutes mean a long drive
Manyata Ekamoi
Pros
- Manyata Brand Legacy: Backed by the visionaries behind Bangalore’s largest private Tech Park.
- Zen-Inspired Design: A unique Japanese-themed project focused on wellness and natural harmony.
- Low-Density Community: Only 189 exclusive plots spread across a vast 20.37-acre enclave.
- Strategic Location: Situated off Sarjapur Road with quick access to Wipro SEZ and RGA Tech Park.
Cons
- Traffic Congestion: Heavy gridlock on Sarjapur Road and Varthur Road during peak hours can significantly increase commute times.
- Underdeveloped Access: The immediate Gunjur-Nerige Road is currently narrow and lacks the robust infrastructure of core urban areas.
- Past Developer Feedback: Online buyer reviews for previous projects (like Ekamara and Earthsong) mention concerns regarding amenity delivery timelines.
- Nala Presence: Reports indicate a secondary storm-water drain (nala) passing through or near the project boundary, which may impact specific plot layouts.
