The concept of luxury homes

Luxury apartments at not so luxury cost
The features or amenities that you get in a luxury house are bound to come with a high price tag. However, the real estate scenario in India is different; you can easily buy luxury houses at different price range here. The factor that affects the price of your future luxury house is locality and builder. They both work in different directions too with builder charging low price irrespective of the locality.
