Apartments or Villaments in Bangalore? What’s better for kids?

In today’s fact-paced and competitive world, we are all concerned about our kids growing up in the right community. A big part of that is attributed to where they live. It’s the experiences they gather here that define their future. And as protective parents we all want to give our children the best tools to help them succeed.

Families have long considered moving into apartments as a safe haven for their kids considering the features some of the apartment complexes offer. However, villaments in Bangalore are beginning to change that trend and are quickly becoming the top destination for families with kids. Listed below are a few of the reasons we found people considering villaments over regular apartments.

1. Gated Community: Most apartment complexes usually have a tower or two constructed with a small wall around the apartment complex. On the up side a villament usually has multiple towers and are usually placed upon larger land spaces.  Villaments in Bangalore have far better security measures with a gated community system in place. Getting in and out of the Villament complex would not be easily possible for a stranger or visitor. Ensuring you wouldn’t have to worry too much when your kid is out playing in the community garden or other public places within the Villament.

2. Extra-curricular activities: In today’s highly competitive world, kids need to be future ready by sharpening their social skills, amongst others. Having a Community Hall and Community Garden within walking distance, ensures your kids interact and socialize with other like minded people boys and girls.

3. Skill Development: No longer do you have to travel long distances just to place your kids in camps, hoping they pick up the right skill. Villaments offer various high-end amenities like a swimming pool, basketball court or in certain  Villaments in Bangalore, even a tennis court. And with these at your family’s disposal, you can be sure that your kids get all the training they want, when they want it and however often they want it.

4. No surface-vehicle-movement:  Take Habitat Crest’s Villaments in Whitefield, Bangalore for example, architects have designed the entire place in such a way that there is absolutely no vehicular movement at the surface level. Vehicles enter a subterrestrial driveway right from the gates to their individual  Villaments in Bangalore. This doesn’t just reduce the air pollution; it also ensures the roads are kept safe from any speeding or negligent drivers.

5. Location, location, location: Life in a gated community is good, but what happens when you step out? Unlike most apartment complexes, Habitat Ventures’ Crest Villament has been strategically placed amidst international schools, hospitals, malls, hotels and other essential hot spots. Here’s a list of a few of those  hot-spots:

Hospitals & Schools
1. Sri Sathya Sai Super Specialty Hospital
2. Brookefield Hospital
3. Ryan International School
4. Gopalan International School
5. Delhi Public School

Hotels & Malls
1. Zuri Hotel
2. Marriott
3. Vivanta by Taj
4. Forum Value Mall
5. Phoenix Market City

Theatres & Tech Parks
1. PVR Cinema
2. Fame Cinema
3. ITPL
4. Brigade Tech Park
5. Prestige Shantiniketan

Also, within close vicinity are the Whitefield rail station, bus stand and proposed Metro station.

As parents we want to ensure our kids have all the tools necessary, in order to create a great future for themselves. A villament brings you as many of these tools which a dream home possibly can, and more! And it does so without you having to sacrifice on the quality or standard of your life and your family’s well being 🙂

Pet Friendly Apartments and Villaments are a Growing Trend in Bangalore.

Pet friendly apartments and villaments there are many of you out there who share an unbreakable bond with their pets. Amongst all the madness that surrounds us in the world today, this bond that’s forged out of loyalty and love has stood the test of time. Every pet owner, past or present, knows exactly how much our pets love us, how our pets make us smile, & how they are ever so happy each and every time we come home even if we were gone for only 2 minutes 😀 For us they aren’t just pets, they are pretty much a part of our family. And to consider moving our house and parting with our “family member” is a dreaded thought.

For a long time now Bangalore hasn’t offered many ‘Pet Friendly Apartments’, and this has been disheartening to pet owners, who’ve long been protesting for the rules to be relaxed. However the apartments have shown no sign of adopting a pet friendly policy anytime soon. This has left the pet owners with a difficult choice of either choosing a new home or parting with their pet; a choice no one should ever be forced to make.

Pet owners can now breathe a sigh of relief as pet friendly apartments and villaments in Bangalore are coming to the rescue. Opposed to regular apartments, villaments offer various ‘pet friendly’ features that make life a lot easier for all you pet owners. Let’s take a look at some of the options:

1.  A Private Garden for each Villament

A villament comes equipped with it’s own private garden. No longer do you have to worry about your pet being cramped for room. With your own private garden you can assure that your pet gets all the playing space he/she needs. A private garden is a complete pet haven!

 2. Availability of a Community Garden or Park

While the private garden by itself provides your pet with enough wiggle room, if you are one of those pet owners who loves taking your dogs on long walks, the community park serves as an added bonus.

In addition to that a community park serves as a good place for your pet to make new friends with the other pets from the neighborhood 🙂

3. Access to direct Daylight

Anyone to everyone who’ve had pets, know just how much pets love sunbathing! If you have a dog or a cat you will notice they love to go out, lay down and absorb all the vitamin D they can get (which FYI is important to your pet’s health). Villaments are architecturally designed to ensure each home has optimal access to sunlight. Take Habitat Ventures’ Crest Villament project, for example, the Crest Villaments in Whitefield ensure that all living areas have access to direct sunlight. 70% of the project land is open space ensuring sufficient natural ambient lighting and, the location & design of the staircase & the double height in the living room enhances the light and ventilation. No one wants to live in a “stuffy” home.

Villaments are a great opportunity for pet owners to think of moving into a new home along with their beloved pets. Villaments offer a ton of features and are not as expensive as a villa.

Simply put, “if a dog is a man’s best friend, a villament is a dog’s best friend!” 🙂
