Dear ILs members... I want some information on the compounds. Is it neccessary to live in compounds to have a safe living ? I heard compounds are very expensive. How much should I have to spend for 3 BR flat in a compound, preferbly Indian compounds ? I will be living with my hubby and 2 small kids and occassionaly my MIL. My requirement is to live in a safe place, where I can go around without wearing the abhaya / burka. My hubby has got a job, where he has to travel a lot and I need to stay alone. So a good community around will be of help. What facilites does the apartments / compounds have ? Basically I want some free space to walk around for relaxation / exercise without wearing abhaya, a gym is also an added advantage.Will there be enough place to go for free morning / evening walk inside the apartment complex. Will there be enough such apartments / compunds or we need to wait ? Since am not able to imagine the life there and I have never lived outside India am worried. Any input on this is appreciated Regards Niranjana
