The 3 BHK is the workhorse of the Sarjapur Road market. It is the format most families arrive looking for, and it is also the one where brochures differ most from reality, because "3 BHK" on this corridor can mean anything from a tight city-style flat to something close to a house. This article looks at what the label means here and what to examine before you commit. It builds on the overview of apartments on Sarjapur–Attibele Road, and the 3 BHK Sky Villa page has the unit detail.
What a 3 BHK here actually looks like
On the Sarjapur Road corridor, new 3 BHKs skew large. A typical new-build 3 BHK carries three toilets and roughly 1,850 sq ft or more, with a living and dining area wide enough for a dining table that stays up, a utility area, and at least one deck or balcony. That is a different animal from a 3 BHK of 1,200 to 1,400 sq ft nearer the city centre, where bedrooms are smaller and the third room often doubles as a study.
The extra area tends to go into three places: a genuinely usable living and dining zone, bigger bedrooms, and outdoor space you can sit in. Ask which of those three a specific layout buys you. Some use the space on the living room, others on the master suite.
The two 3 BHK options at Lakeside Residences
Lakeside Residences publishes two indicative 3 BHK typologies in Phase 1.
| Typology | Toilets | Approx. area | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Large 3 BHK | 3 | 1,850 sq ft | ₹1.69 Cr |
| Luxe 3 BHK | 3 | 2,100 sq ft | ₹1.92 Cr |
Both sit on a base price of ₹8,999 per sq ft, and both are indicative and subject to change with K-RERA registration. The difference between them is essentially 250 sq ft and about ₹23 lakh of starting value, which usually comes down to whether you want a wider living area, a larger master suite or a more generous deck.
What distinguishes the 3 BHKs here is not just the area but the plan around them. Four homes share a floor, four dedicated elevators serve them, and each home arrives at a private vestibule rather than a common corridor. Every Sky Villa faces the 300-acre lake, and the double-height panoramic skydeck is part of the format, as are Italian marble floors in the living and dining areas and laminated wooden flooring in the bedrooms. The project overview covers the full layout, and sky villas on Sarjapur Road explains how the format compares with an ordinary 3 BHK.
Is 1,850 sq ft enough for a family of four?
For most families, comfortably, and the reason is the shape of the plan rather than the number. Once a 3 BHK clears about 1,800 sq ft, the constraint usually stops being bedroom size and starts being storage, work-from-home space and how well the service side is planned. Checklist for evaluating any 3 BHK floor plate:
- Does the third bedroom take a double bed and still leave a wardrobe wall?
- Is there a study nook or a room that can serve as one without disrupting the living area?
- Is there a utility yard, so washing and drying do not happen on a balcony?
- Do all three toilets have external ventilation?
- Does the deck get morning or evening sun, and can you sit on it in the monsoon?
If a layout answers all five, the home will feel larger than its area suggests. See the floor plans page for how to read a plan properly.
What changes at this price point
A 3 BHK from ₹1.69 Cr is a serious purchase, and the process around it matters more than the brochure. Three things to get right:
- Ask for a cost sheet, not a starting price. The starting value at Lakeside Residences includes one car park but excludes clubhouse membership, infrastructure charges, maintenance and corpus charges, floor-rise charges, PLC, SDR and applicable GST. The price guide explains each line.
- Compare on delivered value, not rate alone. Two 3 BHKs at the same base rate can differ in deck size, orientation and add-on charges. The price trends article shows how to comparison-shop sensibly.
- Confirm the registration position. The K-RERA registration number and possession date are not yet published for Lakeside Residences; verify them on the Karnataka RERA portal once available, using our note on how to check RERA registration.
