4 BHK vs 4 BHK Penthouse at Elan Statement: Which Suits Your Lifestyle?

So you're looking at Elan Statement and stuck between 4 BHK vs 4 BHK Penthouse. I get it. It's not just about counting rooms - it's about how you actually want to live. And honestly? Both options here are massive compared to what you'll find elsewhere. We're talking 4,285 sq.ft. for the 4 BHK and up to 7,395 sq.ft. for the penthouses.

Let me break down what actually matters when you're making this call - family stuff, work-from-home needs, how you entertain, and whether this is a forever home or a stepping stone.

The Numbers (What You're Actually Getting)

First, let's just lay out the facts:

Who Needs What? (Family Edition)

Get the 4 BHK If:

• You've got 2-3 kids: Everyone gets their room, plus space for guests
• You're planning to have kids: Room to grow, but you're not drowning in empty space
• Parents might move in: You can dedicate one room for them
• You work from home: That study room? You'll actually use it

Room Allocation Example (4 BHK):

1. Master Bedroom - Parents
2. Bedroom 2 - Child 1
3. Bedroom 3 - Child 2 / Guest Room
4. Bedroom 4 - Parents (elderly) / Home Office
5. Study - Work-from-home / Homework space

4 BHK Penthouse is Ideal For:

• Joint families: Space for both sets of parents + nuclear family
• Families with 3+ children: Each child gets their own room
• Those who entertain frequently: Dedicated guest suite
• Families with live-in help: Separate staff quarters
• Business owners: Home office + meeting space

Room Allocation Example (4 BHK Penthouse):

1. Master Bedroom - Parents (with attached walk-in closet)
2. Bedroom 2 - Child 1 (teenager needs privacy)
3. Bedroom 3 - Child 2
4. Bedroom 4 - Grandparents / Guest Suite
5. Study - Primary Work-from-home space / Second Home Office
6. Sky Deck - Entertainment / Yoga / Personal retreat

How You Actually Entertain

Party Size Matters

Entertaining Need	4 BHK Solution	4 BHK Penthouse Advantage
Dinner parties (8-12 guests)	Living + Dining area	Double-height living creates grand impression
Large gatherings (20+ guests)	Can feel cramped	Sky deck + living creates flow
Overnight guests	One guest room	Dedicated guest suite with privacy
Business entertaining	Living room serves dual purpose	Sky deck as exclusive entertaining space
Festival celebrations	Adequate for immediate family	Space for extended family gatherings

About Those Sky Decks

Real talk - the sky decks (781-805 sq.ft.) are a game changer. That's an outdoor living room. On your roof. Private. Here's what people actually do with them:

• Morning yoga/meditation with city views
• Al fresco dining for special occasions
• Evening cocktails under the stars
• Children's outdoor play area (safe, private)
• Kitchen garden for herbs and vegetables
• Personal telescope/stargazing setup

Working From Home (The New Reality)

Let's be real - remote work isn't going away. If you're spending ₹9-12 Cr on a home, it better work as an office too. Here's how each option handles it:

4 BHK Setup:

• Dedicated study room: Perfect for one professional working from home
• Challenge: If both partners work from home, one may need to use a bedroom
• Video call background: Study or living room works well
• Client meetings: Limited to common areas

4 BHK Penthouse Setup:

• Primary study: Dedicated home office for one partner
• Fifth bedroom: Second home office or meeting room
• Video call flexibility: Multiple professional backgrounds available
• Client meetings: Can host small meetings in dedicated space
• Sky deck: Change of scenery for creative work

Thinking 10 Years Ahead

4 BHK - What Happens Later:

• Family grows: Study can convert to child's room
• Parents move in: One child may need to share or use study
• Children grow up: Teenagers may feel space-constrained
• Upgrade need: May need to move in 10-15 years

4 BHK Penthouse - What Happens Later:

• Family grows: Ample room for additional children
• Parents move in: Comfortable accommodation without compromise
• Children grow up: Each maintains privacy and space
• Long-term home: Can serve as forever home through life stages

The Money Part

Because this matters. Check our detailed price breakdown for the full picture.

Investment Factor	4 BHK	4 BHK Penthouse
Entry Price	₹9 Cr onwards	₹12 Cr onwards
Price per Sq.Ft.	~₹21,000	~₹16,500*
Buyer Pool	Larger (more buyers can afford)	Smaller but highly motivated
Rental Demand	Higher (more tenants seek 4 BHK)	Premium rents, longer search
Appreciation	Standard luxury appreciation	Premium for penthouse/sky deck
Holding Period	Shorter resale cycle	Longer but higher returns

*4 BHK Penthouse appears lower per sq.ft. because sky deck area is included in total

Why Penthouses Hold Value

Here's something people overlook - 4 BHK Penthouses with private sky decks are genuinely rare in Gurgaon. That scarcity matters:

• Less competition: Fewer comparable properties when selling
• Premium positioning: Buyers seeking this product have limited options
• Legacy value: Distinctive property for family legacy

Running Costs (Nobody Talks About This)

Monthly Reality Check:

Cost Category	4 BHK (Est.)	4 BHK Penthouse (Est.)
Society Maintenance	₹18,000-22,000/month	₹30,000-38,000/month
Electricity (average)	₹15,000-25,000/month	₹25,000-40,000/month
Staff (optional)	1 domestic help	2 domestic help typical
Annual Repairs	₹50,000-1,00,000	₹1,00,000-2,00,000
Property Tax	Lower (smaller area)	Higher (larger area)

The Stuff Nobody Mentions (But Matters)

Space and Sanity

Real talk - space affects how families function. Studies back this up:

• Privacy: Family members need retreat spaces
• Reduced conflict: Cramped quarters increase friction
• Work-life separation: Physical boundaries help mental boundaries
• Growth room: Children need space to develop independence

"Won't It Feel Empty?"

People ask me this about penthouses. Here's what actually happens:

• Families quickly expand to fill available space
• Hobbies and collections grow over time
• Work-from-home needs continue to increase
• Aging parents often move in unexpectedly

10 Questions to Ask Yourself

1. How many people in this house in 5 years? 10 years?
2. Will parents (yours or spouse's) ever move in?
3. How often do guests stay overnight?
4. Both of you working from home?
5. How much do you care about outdoor private space?
6. Forever home or stepping stone?
7. Small dinner parties or big gatherings?
8. Do you want something unique or are you fine with standard?
9. How flexible is your budget really?
10. Living here or primarily investing?

Quick Summary

Look, It's Really About How You Live

The whole 4 BHK vs 4 BHK Penthouse thing? It's not about picking the "right answer." It's about how you actually want to live. Both options at Elan The Statement feature advanced smart home technology and are incredible - you're just deciding which one fits your life better.

The 4 BHK's massive (4,285+ sq.ft. - that's bigger than most 4 BHK Penthouses out there) and it's more accessible price-wise. The 4 BHK Penthouse penthouse? That's a different level. Private sky decks. Double-height spaces. Stuff you won't find anywhere else in India.

Here's what I'd do: go see both. Walk through them. Picture your furniture. Think about your morning routine, your evening routine. The right choice will hit you when you're actually in the space.
