Have you considered this important factor when looking for a house?
Your realtor has just rung you up excitedly to tell you that your search for the perfect flat in Goa has come to an end. She has found you the residence of your dreams – a luxurious 3BHK in the heart of Margao . It’s close to your workplace, schools, hospital and market. She thinks it is the perfect fit for you and your family. When would you like to see it?
Before you jump to answer, here’s a thought to consider. Are you certain you want to live in a centrally located area? Or to put it more plainly, are you willing to pay the price of living in a residence that is conveniently located? Mind you, I’m not just talking about the higher rates of real estate that such residences command but also about the intangible costs of living there.
For one, there is the question of cramped public spaces in the vicinity since centrally located areas are also highly populated pockets. Then there is heavy vehicular traffic, hawkers and incessant noise to consider. And the fact that many commercial establishments are open till late night and may be an annoyance when you are trying to get some shut eye.
Now, if you are the sort who enjoys the pace and intensity of city life, drawbacks like these may not strike you as a major concern. On the other hand, if you value peace and quiet then you may find yourself constantly irritable and stressed out by the never-ending action outside your building. When you live in an area that is not suited to your personality, you’ll often find yourself restless and eager to travel to someplace else where you are more at ease.
Understanding the zone that suits you, the kind of space that helps you function at your optimal level is essential when looking for a flat in Goa. Do you see yourself as the city mouse or the country mouse from that classic bedtime story? The kind of lifestyle you envision for yourself on a daily basis will determine where you ought to live.
Living on the outskirts of a crowded city may mean an additional 15 minutes of travel time to work but for many it is a small price to pay for the peace and quiet that are theirs when they return home.
Despite its tiny size, Goa has a surprisingly large breadth of options when it comes to living spaces. You can choose to live in the commercial capital of Margao, on its outskirts in places like Fatorda or stride into Goa’s hinterlands that are often cut off from urban insanity.
Luckily, you don’t have to go to extremes to enjoy Goa’s relaxed atmosphere.
