There are plenty of options for those seeking rental apartments in Mumbai. South Mumbai, of course, is the most preferred choice for many when it comes to renting a flat, but the fact that it’s costly cannot be denied as well. 

This is one of the major reasons why a lot of people are now preferring apartments in Byculla. Sharing the same postal code as So-Bo, Byculla offers luxury living at a comparative inexpensive price.

However, there are a few considerations that you need to factor in before renting an apartment here:

Location

Before starting your apartment hunt, get a map of the area and place a dot over the place that is most important to you. It could be your workplace, your favorite café, or your friend’s house. Then, think about how far you are willing to live from your favorite spot.

If you are not willing farther than 10 miles, draw a circle that encapsulates the areas and neighborhood in a 10-mile radius. This would help you shortlist the ideal locations and save your time hopping from one place to another viewing homes/apartments.

Total Costs

Sure, monthly rent cost is important. But is not the only cost that you have to think about while looking for a home. The total cost of an apartment is acquired by adding the rent, security deposit, parking fees, utility cost, application fee, and renters insurance cost and then divide by 12. This would give you an amount which you can decide if there is enough room in your budget to afford the apartment before you fall in love with it.

Amenities

The second most important thing to pay heed to is the amenities and facilities. Of course, you should know how many bathroom and bedrooms you need according to your family, some amenities may allow for a comfortable living such as:

  • Private balcony
  • Cupboards
  • Closets
  • Appliances
  • Storage space
  • Elevators
  • Gym
  • Elevators

Convenience

When looking at apartments, convenience is a factor that is often overlooked. Your apartment might have a beautiful layout and be spacious as well. But if the closest grocery store is 25 minutes away, or the bus stop is very far, then it would lose its spark.

Also, the distance to your workplace is very important. Do not forget to think of your commute when you are on an apartment hunt. To check the traffic situation, visit the apartment complex in the morning and evening during rush hours.

Bathrooms and Kitchens

Both the kitchen and bathroom are the most important rooms of homes/apartments. These are the areas that play a big role in tenants or buyers choosing an apartment. It’s true. Keeping them maintained gives an insight into how the landlord focuses on the maintenance. Poor upkeep of the kitchen and bathroom clearly shows the landlord’s attitude regarding maintenance and also indicates a possible problem in plumbing.

Furniture Considerations

This is an important part as well. You need to think about the size of your furniture. Will it fit in your new apartment? Is it too heavy or too big? Would the movers be able to bring it up, say, if you like a flat on the 5th floor? If you think your furniture will not fit, and you have to buy new, would that fit in your budget? It is wise to measure your bed, couch, and dresser, and other big items, and when you go to view a property, measure doorways to know if your things will pass through.

These tips apply to all cases. Whether you buy luxury apartments in Mumbai for sale or decide to rent one, these considerations remain constant. Pay attention to them so that you don’t regret it after finalizing the deal.
