Goldstone Rock Gardens Reviews

I’ve curated a list of hidden and offbeat/lesser-known spots in and around Hyderabad. Pretty sure this covers about 90% of the ones you see in reels and vlogs. ⚠️ Caution: Some of these spots are remote and risky. You’ll find groups of drunk guys, Romeos, broken roads, or no mobile signal. A few might even be closed. Please Google and Youtube these places first to see what the place looks like recently, and the route map. DON'T GO ALONE. Go with friends, plan your timing, and keep safety first.

So last night I was watching Magadheera and Indu said let's meet up in rock hills garden and this how the place looks like. I know it's in 2009 but I have been to Hyderabad during 2012s and never seen such a place?

Dear folks, I consolidated list of projects which i visited personally and seek opinion from owners/tenants. Please add any of other projects which i missed here. I m mentioning here projects, Few are Tier 1/1.5/2 builders. Feel free to comment out which are comes under Tier 1/2/3 builders. Aparna and MyHome as Tier 1 builders. Rajapushpa - is in that league, their older projects have been stuck in delays, and even some existing ones have faced handover delays (e.g., Casa Lux neopolis and the Mancheruvula project phase 2). Jayabheri - definitely comes into the picture and can be considered a Tier 1 builder, or you could call it Tier 1.5. Their construction quality and timely delivery pretty much match Tier 1 standards. Sumadhura - can be worth considering under Tier 1. They've executed several projects in Bangalore and Hyderabad (Horizon received mixed reviews), but their recent projects have seen timely delivery, and the construction quality has been pretty good so far. I enquired with a few owners of Acropolis, and they didn't face any issues. Garden Brooks (Gaganphad) has been good so far. it's a solid builder. Prestige - (I'm personally not a fan of it after seeing Beverly Hills and High Fields, where maintenance isn't great according to my colleagues). DSR - has a strong foundation in Hyderabad and Bangalore, and they've done large-scale projects with timely delivery. Godrej - still has to prove itself in Hyderabad, as it only has three projects (Goldmine raod, Gaghanphad; upcoming in Kukatpally). We have to see their commitment to delivery. Myscape - is a good builder that has executed multiple projects. It's worth considering alongside Tier 1 builders. (Enquired with Sancturay projects, received good reviews) POULAMI - Poulami avante decent ( as per my few colleagues) and good builder. ASBL - I'm not a fan of their larger balconies, and apart from that and the location, their projects don't offer much else. ASBL Spire received mixed reviews when i pay visit and talked to owners. Lansum - timely delivery and good quality (I've only enquired about Eldorado, but a few people were disappointed with the Etania project). Indis - I've visited only one project so far (Viva City) and enquired with owners; the feedback wasn't good. Lodha - has executed very few projects in Hyderabad, though the builder has good experience with high-rises. Never visited. MSN - From pharma background, Executing theri project very fast in neopolis. Very cash rich. Raghava - - Not delivered single project yet, But construction going on fast pace. ( Political background. May be immune to politics).- Cash rich Aurobindo - Heard, there are a lot of issues with Auro Regency (my friend bought there) and has to improve a lot and gain buyers confident.Brigade - Brand is good, but not sure why received mixed reviews about Citadel project. Sattava - Commercial executer. Have to see how they executing upcoming in neopolis. Never been to existing Sattava magnus in shaikpet Vasavi - not even under any tier. Ramky— yes, they can come under Tier 2-3 builders. We have to see the delivery of Odyssey, Astra, and One Orbit projects. Never visited any of projects. Vertex - is also known for delays; maybe consider it Tier 3 ( Nizampet project delayed much). Praneeth - quality not up to the mark. They've never executed high-rises except one under construction (Ixora)- nizampet . Candeur - has executed a couple of projects (Candeur 40, Lakescape, Crescent). As I enquired about 40, the reviews were bad about quality. Urbanrise the Bachupally project has a very bad layout and high density. SAS - in experienced in handling large-scale projects except existing SAS Crown is still ongoing). But their subsidiary SRIS IWA is going through delays and be cautious about upcoming in GOCL land. SMR - yes, they do execute projects, but it's not a good builder as it receives bad reviews for SMR Vinay when i visited and enquired. Jain - I enquired about the Chandanagar Jain Niley project, but received bad reviews. Raghuram Builders - executed a few commercial projects but no experience in handling large-scale ones. Vue Residency is under a land-grabbing case, and the Balanagar location is very bad, but the layout plan is good. Anvita - emerging builder that has delivered Prestone Villas, Ivana Phase 1, and is going ahead with Phase 2. Same with High 9. Aakriti - I've visited a few projects like Aakriti Miro; residents are complaining about the quality of construction. They've done multiple projects around Tellapur and Nallagandla. Abode - can consider if someone seeks low-density apartments. Vajra - not much idea about this builder, but Vajra West City took off very late. Pragati Developers - I've visited one project at Pragati Nagar (brick construction) and one along Gandimaisamma Road (Pragati Green Woods/Myvan). Yula - Not experience in constructing. Have to see how their commitment towards buders. Rise with 9 - Trilligt - Executing by De Blue Oak Constructions and P Mangatram Developers . Can consider. Navanami - Has strong background. But their project Navanami one delaying since they took up multiple projects. SSI - They do offer good lay out with SSI Fortune Grande and executed Sonthalia at kokapet and upcoming project in gaghanpahad. Halmark - Executed couple of decent sized commumities and theri first highrise Hallmark Treason ( few people weren't satisfied with quality). Ananda Homes - Not a good builder and on going is delay (Legacy by ananda homes ). Few were not satisfied with their quality of construction . Namashree - Heard delaying much for their project- Vrindavan by Namashree. GHR - Went to Castillo, But i feel quality not up to mark. Have to see Their neopolis project. Prosperity - emerging builder, construction wise look good. Liked the concept of sustainability and impressed they used porothem brick Hirize - Good builder. Visited their completed project (rich park) overall feedback good on this builder. Can consider hirize elysia. Vision Arsha : Decent builder. First hi rise project. Not sure on exceution and post maintenance. I personally liked 2000sft size. Western Springs - I stopped exploring this project after the Lokayukta registered a case against its developer, Western Constructions Windsor Park LLP. However, when I checked the RERA portal, there are pending cases were listed. Meenakshi - Very strong and reliable builder. ELAN is worth considering if you don’t mind the traffic chaos in the area. Bhavya’s Construction - Visited the site — construction quality is good. Main concerns: potential odour/issues from the opposite lake and the narrow approach road that leads toward South India. Avani Project Recommended to choose units with balconies facing Thulasivanam, preferably above the 12th floor, for better views and ventilation. EVora Villas (Kardanur) - Visited the site — looks promising for end-use / self-occupation (317sqyard looks good for me) . Only concern is occasional smell (builder denied it), but I couldn’t confirm with any locals. Modi Builders - Visited their Elegance project in Gajularamaram last year during a Gruhapravesham. Was not impressed with the construction quality. Risinia - Budget-friendly builder primarily focused on the Miyapur – Bachupally – Gandimaisamma belt. A good option if you’re looking for projects in these surrounding areas. Gothic Pentagon - Located just behind Pista House. Liked the larger unit sizes (especially the 2320 sq.ft. corner units). Suggest checking for resale flats as well. I may missed many other good projects. Feel free to comment. Please add if i miss any thing in the list, So that our folks can come up with Their experience. Please note, Most of projects, i personally went and seek owners/Tenants opinion. If you want to buy any flat, Do Ground work and buy Diligently Edited : Few forgot added in this list again.

I have officially looked at 200+ projects, consumed enough caffeine to power the Financial District, and drank two random buttermilks along the way. I’ve narrowed it down to three final contenders based on strict criteria: Commute to Financial District (Mandatory, because my wife said so, and I value my life). Rental potential (In case my Bangalore-to-Hyderabad shift falls through). Appreciation (Need to make back the money I spent on all that tea). Project Density (I prefer human-sized spaces, not dystopian ant colonies). Here are the finalists (Prices are all-inclusive base rates): Project K2 (Kollur): ₹6,700/sq.ft. Raghava Halo (Kondapur): ₹7,800/sq.ft. Sky 49 (Tellapur): ₹7,500/sq.ft. Which of these is the actual winner, and which one is a trap? Help a tired man out. Other projects Vision Arsha: I see many bad reviews about the delay And also people commenting to DM, please feel free to post your projects in the comments and let anyone in the same boat as mine benefit from it

Good Location

I am looking for a ~400sq yards of land in a gated community on the west side of hyderabad. requirement is to have easy and quick access to financial district via ORR and also an area that becomes atleast residentially vibrant in the coming decade. having access to the next phase metro is a huge plus. Purpose is for personal consumption in the coming decade. looking for gated community for property security and to be in a homogenous residential block. buying a built villa seems very expensive and also i don't have an immediate need for the house. currently i am considering Mokila, vattinagulapally, Kokapet, Narsingi, Kismatpur, Rajendranagar and shamshabad. Out of which; communities with open plots i could find are; Aparna western meadows - Mokila Ashoka kadri central highlands - Mokila Sark green fields - Mokila Muppas green fields - not a gated community - Vattinagulapally. Prestige Nirvana - Rajendranagar Prestige Orchards - Shamshabad What other communities should I be looking at ? What are the prices that i should be expecting ? all the areas seems to be at ~70,000 per sq yrd(approximate median of all) except for rajendranagar which is at ~1,30,000 per sq yard(seems to too high. sounds too much off).

I am a finance professional, 31 years of age, and currently own a 2 BHK (1245 sft saleable area; ~1000 sft carpet area) flat at My Home Jewel, Madeenaguda. The flat is occupied by three of us in the family – my mother, wife and myself. This was a resale property we bought in mid-2023 at a good bargain, and we are generally happy with the purchase. While the size of the apartment more than adequately suffices our requirements today and is expected to for the near foreseeable future, we anticipate we would start to run out of space once we plan a family and have kids grow up in the next 4-5 years or so. I am anticipating this being the right time to start to think about and scout for our next house – ideally a larger 3BHK in a more modern society, in a ~10-15km vicinity of the Hitec City area. This would ideally be an under-construction property in an upcoming gated community by a reputed builder with limited execution risk. While we would be flexible with delivery timelines given no immediate need for a new house (would plan to sell this existing property concurrent with delivery of this new flat), I would like to ensure that the construction quality and amenities are top-notch. What are my potential options? Am I thinking about this correctly, or is this too early to plan?

Hi all My marriage anniversary is next week and I'm planning to spend the day out along with wife and kid. Need suggestions for one day stay along with good food and activities. I'm okay with resorts or short trip from Hyderabad. Just want to spend time with family and for kid to enjoy. Budget is around 20k. I've explored options like aalankrita resorts and leonia resorts. Kindly let me know if there are any other good resorts which are safe for a night's stay. Also, I'm planning to gift her something in around 10k budget, Any help in that direction would be helpful.

Hey Hyderabadi Redditors! My friends and I are looking to escape the city hustle for a weekend nature getaway this July/August, and we need your amazing suggestions! We're based in Hyderabad and want to find a spot that's: Scenic and natural: Think lush greenery, hills, lakes, waterfalls – anything that offers a refreshing change from concrete jungles. Less crowded: This is key! We're looking to chill, relax, and genuinely enjoy nature without bumping into too many people. Offbeat is good! Good for a friends' trip: Somewhere we can relax, chat and just unwind. Preferably a drivable distance from Hyderabad for a weekend. We're open to anything from a serene spot for picnics and walks to a place with light trekking opportunities, or even a nice nature resort that isn't swarming with people. Given it's July/August, we're hoping to catch some of that monsoon magic – greener landscapes, maybe some gentle rains to enhance the vibe. So, what are your hidden gems and favorite lesser-known nature spots around Hyderabad for a perfect chill weekend with friends? Thanks in advance for helping us plan an epic and serene escape! 

Hi, I am looking to buy a resale plot in golden triangle around 30k to 45k per sq yrd. Below are few ventures I came to know. But want to know which are best for future appreciation and any pros and cons of each. Dukes County (Around 47k) Siddi Binayaka (Around 42k) Greenville (Pricey) Gachibowli Paradise ph 4,5 Bashyam Diamond county Gachibowli Paradise ph 1 (Sheriguda)

Western Springs project looks good on paper and they are offering around 9700 base per sft rate on almost completed project in Financial District. This sounds too good to be true. I'm wondering what's the catch? I've heard that there are litigations against this project. Will that prevent them from getting OC? Anybody else have any news on this project that they would like to share? Thank you

I'll be free until Monday morning is there any go to places to visit around Hyderabad. Bored of roaming in city as I was alone. Guys forts, temples might not be interesting for me but I prefer nature ,landscapes kind of getaways
