India, April 16 -- An engineer who ditched his Noida apartment and moved to Goa says he is much happier in the beach state, and not just because of massive savings in rent. Raj, an engineer working in the web3 space, had last year shared a photograph of the "dreamy view" from his Noida apartment, for which he and his flatmates paid Rs.64,000 per month. The "dreamy" was sarcastic, as his apartment overlooked another building.

Despite the unappealing view in the midst of a concrete jungle, Raj and his flatmates paid Rs.64,000 as rent every month for their 3BHK. This heft amount did not include maintenance charges, which were paid separately.
