Nature is that strong yet vulnerable force that replenishes the living beings sustaining in it, providing them with all the required resources despite facing constant threats from the human race. And while it is only practical to promote and strive towards a technologically advanced future, it is high time to incorporate nature as part of our day-to-day lives – to nourish and be nourished by it. And the real estate sector can also majorly contribute to a sustainable and green existence.
Living around green spaces not only encourages individuals to inch closer to nature but also entails remarkable health benefits. For this reason, many builders in Mumbai and other major cities in India are now beginning to lay the foundations to their projects very close to green spaces in urban areas. On that note, let us glimpse through some of the perks of living in proximity to green spaces in cities:
Co-existing With Nature
Typically, for urbanites, nature tends to act as a retreat rather than a part and parcel of their day-to-day lives. This also explains why many of us organize weekend getaways and staycations to the hill-stations and picnic-spots in the outskirts of the city. While such picnics may be great ways to overcome fatigue and move closer to nature, incorporating nature as an important aspect of your mundane existence can help you to overcome stress and lead a more consistently peaceful life. And living in urban areas situated close to nature can help individuals to visit these spaces more regularly, including these visits as part of one’s busy schedule.
The Best Remedy to Good Health
“Health is wealth” is perhaps one of the most cliched yet relevant proverbs used worldwide. And indeed, having all the comforts and amenities in the modern world may still not suffice if the health suffers in the bargain. And surrounding yourself with nature while also opting for a modern lifestyle can provide one with the best of both the worlds! According to a study by WHO, living close to green spaces in urban areas has a world of health benefits including reduced risks of coronary heart diseases as well as improved mental health and cognitive functioning. Green spaces also act as air cleansers, thus reducing the risks of contracting air-borne diseases like asthma. And that brings us to the next significant aspect!
Reducing the Ill-Effects of Air Pollution
Let’s face it – if we are living in a city, we can never totally do away with air-pollution. But living in a green area can certainly reduce the ill-effects of a polluted environment by increasing the levels of oxygen in the air and purifying the atmosphere. Living close to nature ensures that you breathe much cleaner air as compared to places where there are fewer or no trees.
Panoramic Window Views
The views from the windows of most homes in large cities are of tall buildings and unending roads and vehicles. While such urban views can also be enjoyable, nothing beats the beauty and appeal of natural landscapes. Striking the right balance between such natural and modern views are buildings located close to green spaces in the cities. For example, VKLAL Vishnu Phase I, which currently has many 1 BHK flats in Dahisar east under construction, provides a scenic window view of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park on the one side and the Western Express Highway leading all the way to the Arabian Sea on the other, thus providing a holistic window view integrating nature and the city life.
Perfect Weekend Getaways
Last but not least, the perfect weekend retreats are only a stone’s throw away from buildings located near green spaces in cities. It is a rather cost-effective and convenient means to enjoy picnics and long bike rides during weekends without having to travel a great distance!
Conclusion
Living close to lush green spaces in urban areas is effective for individuals and families in ways more than one. It provides one with a peaceful place to hang out without having to travel too far from their homes. Thus, it is a sensible real estate investment not only in terms of the health benefits but also for the scenic beauty and practical convenience it offers.
