Are You Settling for Less Space Than You Deserve?

July 14, 2025

In an era where “compact” is marketed as clever, discerning buyers are asking a smarter question: What am I giving up for those missing 600 sq ft?

Whether you're buying your first home or upgrading, the space you choose now determines your comfort, your resale value, and your ability to grow into your home, without outgrowing it.

What Does 2000 Sq Ft Really Mean?

In a well-designed 2000 sq ft apartment (like those at JRC Wildwoods), you gain:

  • A larger living room for hosting without compromising movement
  • A dedicated WFH home / Workstation in Room
  • Children’s space that doesn’t eat into common areas
  • Oversized balconies that feel like an outdoor room
  • Storage and walk-in wardrobes that free your bedrooms from clutter

Compare that to 1600 sq ft units that often sacrifice these nuances—and you’ll see why size isn’t indulgence, it’s foresight.

The Long-Term Equation: Who Are You Planning For?

When you buy 1600 sq ft, you plan for now. When you buy 2000 sq ft, you plan for:

  • Aging parents moving in
  • Children need study zones
  • Guests staying longer
  • Your own wellness: yoga space, hobby corner, morning balcony rituals

A larger home supports lifestyle expansion, without forcing an upgrade every 5–7 years.

Financial Value: Bigger Pays You Back

  • Higher Resale Value: Larger homes appreciate better in periphery zones (10–15% more in Sarjapur, Source: ANAROCK 2024)
  • Better Rent Yields: Bigger units fetch longer-term tenants and higher rents
  • Lower PSF Shock: Often, the price difference is marginal, yet the livability jump is exponential

Wellness & Design: Space Enhances Everything

At JRC Wildwoods, the design intentionally makes 2000 sq ft feel more expansive:

  • Lake-view balconies that open to tree troves
  • Cross-ventilation + natural light across all rooms
  • Privacy zoning: No overlapping noise between bedrooms and social areas

You are buying more than square feet. You are buying

  • Air
  • Light
  • Silence
  • Growth

Final Word: Don’t Compromise for a Cramped Future

A 1600 sq ft home may tick all the boxes today. But a 2000 sq ft home checks tomorrow too. When you invest in more space now, you build a home that adapts with you, not one you’ll need to outgrow.

In a world of small adjustments, this is one investment where more truly is more.
