Jagatpura has moved past the stage where people only bought 2 BHKs and prayed for space later. The newer towers along the 200-feet bypass and near Mahal Road now come with proper 3 BHKs and a growing number of spacious 4 BHKs in the same club-house societies. Same gym, same pool, same evening walking track just one extra bedroom and a noticeably bigger hole in the pocket. Here’s the straight talk on how people actually choose between the two once the budget crosses the one-crore mark.

The price jump is real and it’s steep

A ready to move 3 BHK (1,450–1,750 sq ft super area) in a decent project is currently ₹1.05 crore to ₹1.35 crore. Step up to a 4 BHK (1,950–2,400 sq ft) in the same society and you’re looking at ₹1.45 crore to ₹1.95 crore. That ₹35 to 60 lakh difference means ₹30,000to ₹50,000 extra EMI every month for the next twenty years. For most families that’s either a second car or the kids’ entire undergraduate degree. Nobody pretends it’s pocket change.

Who actually needs four bedrooms in real life

A 3 BHK still works perfectly for a couple with two kids + occasional parents staying over. You give the kids one room each, parents crash in the third when they visit, and the study doubles as a guest room when required.

A 4 BHK becomes common sense the moment any of these things are true:

• Both kids are teenagers who slam doors for fun
• Parents are moving in permanently or for six months every year
• One spouse runs a home business that needs a separate office
• You simply refuse to ever let guests sleep in the living room again

Most 4 BHK buyers in Jagatpura fall into one of those buckets without apology.

Maintenance and the hidden costs nobody mentions on day one

Maintenance is strictly per sq ft, so a 1,600 sq ft 3 BHK costs b/w ₹5,000–₹6,500 a month while a 2,200 sq ft 4 BHK runs ₹8,000–₹11,000. Add two parking slots vs one, higher property tax, and slightly higher society transfer fees when you eventually sell. Over ten years the difference quietly adds up to another fat down-payment.

Resale speed and rental income

Right now 4 BHKs are the rare ones, so they move fastest when listed. A well-kept 4 BHK in a good tower gets multiple offers within weeks, while 3 BHKs take a couple of months. Rental difference is solid too: a furnished 4 BHK easily crosses ₹40,000–₹55,000 per month in Jagatpura, against ₹28,000–₹38,000 for a 3 BHK. If you’re buying as an investment, the bigger unit usually wins on both capital appreciation and monthly cash flow.

The luxury of space nobody admits they want until they have it

With a 3 BHK you learn to live efficiently. With a 4 BHK you suddenly get a walk-in wardrobe that actually fits Rajasthani wedding lehengas, a dedicated puja room that isn’t squeezed into a corner, a small home gym where the treadmill isn’t blocking the dining table, and a balcony big enough for an actual sit-out instead of just standing room. Most 4 BHK owners say the same thing six months in: “We thought we were buying an extra bedroom; turns out we bought peace.”

The “future-proof” argument both sides use

3 BHK buyers say they can always convert the store room or study if needed. 4 BHK buyers say life only gets more complicated—kids grow, parents age, work setups become permanent. Both are right until life actually happens.

The honest deciding question

Ask yourself one thing: when the kids are teenagers and the parents are living with you half the year, will ₹40,000 extra EMI every month feel like money wasted, or will it feel like the cheapest therapy you ever boughtIf the answer is “wasted,” stay happily with the 3 BHK.If the answer is “therapy,” stretch for the 4 BHK and never look back.

Both are excellent flats in a part of Jaipur that’s finally getting the infrastructure it deserves. In the end, whether you end up with 3 BHK flats in Jagatpura Jaipur or 4 BHK flats in Jagatpura Jaipur, the evening view of the hills is the same, the kids will still fight over the TV remote, and the society lift will still play the same three songs on loop. The only difference is how much breathing room you gave yourself for the next fifteen years. Choose the one that lets you sleep without regrets.
