Let me be absolutely clear: steer clear of Lodha Palava. If you value your peace of mind, your sanity, and your hard-earned money, look elsewhere for a place to call home. My experience here has been nothing short of a disaster, and I feel compelled to warn others before they make the same mistake.
First, lets talk about security. Instead of trained professionals, Lodha Palava seems to employ goons masquerading as security personnel. Their behavior is often aggressive and unprofessional, creating an atmosphere of fear rather than safety. Its less like living in a secure community and more like living in a heavily policed, hostile environment.
Then theres the parking situation – or rather, the complete lack thereof. Its chaotic designated spots, no clear signage, and absolutely no organization whatsoever. Finding a place to park is a daily struggle, and forget about having visitors – theyll be circling for hours. Lodha Palava clearly prioritized cramming as many buildings as possible onto the land instead of considering the basic needs of its residents.
And if you think complaining to the PCMA office will help, think again. Thats another level of frustration altogether. The staff there seems to exist solely to extort money from homeowners and make their lives miserable. They are utterly useless when it comes to resolving issues, and their only talent seems to be inventing new and creative ways to extract fees. Dealing with them is like banging your head against a brick wall – youll just end up with a headache and an empty wallet.
In short, Lodha Palava is a prime example of how a housing project can go horribly wrong. Its a case study in mismanagement, greed, and a complete disregard for resident well-being. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the plague. Youll thank me later.
