Am I overthinking this or about to make a mistake? (Gurgaon flat vs selling)

Need some honest, experience-based advice — especially from people who’ve already gone through this.

Currently renting in East Delhi, working in Gurgaon (commute ~2 hrs one side, so not sustainable).

Have a flat nearing possession in New Gurgaon (~1050 sqft). Bought at ~1.4 Cr, now ~1.8+ Cr. Loan is small (~35L).

To move in, I’ll need ~₹18–20L (registry + interiors).

Here’s what’s bothering me:

Area is still developing (limited markets, infrastructure, transport, maids etc.)

Flat is smaller and kitchen is quite compact

Far from family (they’re in East Delhi)

Have a ~3-year-old kid, so daily convenience matters

Alternatives:

Sell now and free up capital (~₹1.8 Cr asset, rent there ~₹35K) and

Upgrade to a better Dwarka(Delhi)/Gurgaon area (~1500 sqft but ~₹2.7 Cr+ and a big loan) or

Rent a furnished place (Dwarka) for a couple of years

Also, both of us have some job uncertainty because of AI, so taking a big loan feels risky.

What I’m really trying to understand:

Has anyone moved into a developing sector and regretted it later because daily life became too difficult?

Or does it usually improve fast enough that the initial struggle is worth it?

On the flip side, has anyone stretched financially to upgrade early and then felt it wasn’t worth the pressure?

If you were in this situation, would you:

move in and ride out the inconvenience

sell and upgrade immediately

rent for a couple of years and decide later

Trying to avoid a decision I’ll regret 2–3 years down the line.

Would really appreciate experience-based opinions.
