How many balconies are there in a 2 BHK? (Godrej MSR City)
When homebuyers ask, "How many balconies does a 2 BHK have at Godrej MSR City?", they're not only counting doors that open outside. They're trying to imagine daily life. Where does morning light fall in the living room? Is there a small corner for two chairs and planters? Can laundry stay out of sight so the main sit-out looks neat? In large townships like Godrej MSR City in Shettigere, the answer depends on the exact stack and layout you choose. As a rule of thumb, most 2 BHK configurations feature one primary balcony attached to the living or dining area, plus a separate kitchen utility, while select variants can have two balconies when the plan allows a second opening from a bedroom or an extended living deck in a corner unit. That's the short answer. The longer answer is about reading the plan the right way.
Godrej MSR City is a 62-acre high-rise township with around 4,000 apartments, rolled out in phases. Phase 1 alone includes multiple towers, each rising 2B+G+15 floors. With so many stacks and orientations, a single rule cannot cover every 2 BHK. Linear living rooms usually carry one wide sit-out. Corner layouts sometimes gain a second, smaller balcony from the secondary bedroom or as a notch off the living area. Both options can share the same saleable area, yet feel very different in daily use.
Takeaway: two 2 BHKs with similar sizes can offer a different balcony experience. One prioritizes a larger main deck. Another splits outdoor space across two smaller balconies.
A balcony is your leisure sit-out. You use it for seating, reading, a small coffee table, and planters. A kitchen utility is different. It's a service ledge meant for washing machines, mops, and clothes-drying. Utilities are a blessing because they keep household chores away from the main sit-out, but they're not designed for lounging. When you compare units, treat balcony and utility as separate benefits.
- Common pattern: 1 balcony attached to the living or dining, plus a separate kitchen utility, 2 toilets, and smart storage lines.
- Variant pattern: 2 balconies in select stacks, typically one off the living and one compact sit-out from Bedroom 2 or the master.
- Size band for 2 BHKs: roughly 1186 to 1292 sq ft, which fits well for a main deck plus a utility, with the second balcony appearing in corner-friendly stacks.
Counting isn't enough. Usability matters more than the raw number.
- Depth: Anything around 1.3 to 1.5 meters feels comfortable for two chairs without a tight squeeze.
- Width and access: A living-attached balcony gets used more often than a bedroom-only balcony because it serves family time and guests.
- Light and wind: Shettigere's open edges bring good breeze. Corner stacks get stronger cross-ventilation, which makes a second balcony extra useful for airflow.
- Privacy: If the primary deck faces the central greens, the second balcony can be a quieter nook for reading or a mini planter corner.
- Work-from-home or frequent hosting: Pick one larger living balcony over two small ones. You'll use the main deck all day, and it doubles up during get-togethers.
- Plant parent or pet parent: A second compact bedroom balcony can be your planter wall or quick relief area, keeping the living sit-out neat.
- Low-maintenance living: If you don't want to sweep two outdoor spaces, choose the single wide deck and let the utility handle laundry.
- Location: Shettigere, just off the Airport Trumpet Road in North Bengaluru.
- Scale: Township footprint of 62 acres with major green pockets and a long amenity spine.
- Towers: High-rise clusters, each planned as 2B+G+15 floors.
- Homes: 2 BHK and 3 BHK formats. The 2 BHK range sits around 1186–1292 sq ft; the 3 BHK bands start higher and often show two balconies more consistently.
- Exact stack and balcony count for the tower and floor you want. Balcony numbers can change between stacks, even at the same size.
- Balcony area in sq ft or sq m on the sale drawing. Ask for clear dimensions, not just a label.
- Railing height and any glazing or mosquito mesh provision if you have kids or pets.
- Utility dimensions and enclosure so laundry stays separate from the leisure sit-out.
- Association dos and don'ts on planter loads, grills, or visible drying. These rules keep facades tidy and help safety teams.
- Single-deck plan: Living opens to a wide sit-out that can hold two chairs, a small round table, and a planter rack. Utility behind the kitchen handles daily chores. This is the most common, low-maintenance choice.
- Dual-deck plan: Living has a standard sit-out and Bedroom 2 adds a small balcony. The second space may be perfect for herbs, a reading stool, or a pet corner. It is a nice-to-have if you enjoy outdoor nooks.
At Godrej MSR City, most 2 BHK homes provide one main balcony plus a separate kitchen utility, and some variants offer two balconies depending on the stack and orientation. Do not rely on a brochure headline alone. Ask for the sale drawing of your exact unit, read the dimensions, and decide based on how you live. A single wider deck often beats two tiny ledges. If you want cross-breeze, a second balcony earns its keep. Choose the plan that matches your routine today, not a generic idea of what a 2 BHK should have.
