Top Location Choices for Apartments in South Indian Hill Stations

Have you thought about the differences in apartments?

As to how are they different in plains vs hill stations?

If not, we have something to share with you

The main difference lies in the very fact that, hill stations have a steeper terrain as compared to plains, that have a levelled terrain. This poses challenges in hilly areas to maintain the structural integrity of the construction.  Apartments in hilly areas are thus mostly G+1 (Ground plus an upper floor), While those in plains are multi-storeyed. Also, due to strict governmental regulations, apartments in hilly areas are scarce as compared to plains. This means that owning an apartment in a hill station is a privilege.

The next difference lies in the use of construction materials. While apartments in plains use a variety of flooring materials like marble and granite, apartments in hills typically have a wooden floor. This is due to the fact that wood provides good thermal insulation. 

Last but not the least, apartments in hills differ from apartments in plains in the nature of amenities. While a swimming pool is widely prevalent in apartments in plains, it is typically absent in a hill station property. If present it will still be a hot water pool owing to cold climate.  

Though these might seem common knowledge, not all buyers are aware of the differences. Through this blog, we aim to provide those insights. Secondly, if you wish to invest in an apartment in a hill station in South India, what are the location choices available?  Let us have a look
