From luxury residential projects to affordable and senior living projects, you can choose from various options at Sohna in NCR at half the price of Gurugram.
Over the last two decades, Gurugram (earlier Gurgaon), a suburb of the National Capital Region (NCR), has transformed and is now expanding beyond the old and New Gurugram areas. Several areas adjacent to Gurugram like Dwarka Expressway, Palam, Manesar and Sohna are at various stages of development.
In the last few years, developers are betting big on Sohna Road or South Gurugram, and the area has generated a lot of interest among homebuyers because of its proximity to major business centers in Gurugram like Golf Course Road, DLF Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, MG Road, and so on.
Sohna itself is emerging as a top real estate destination, with prominent developers offering residential properties in the affordable as well as the high-end segment. Group housing, independent floors, and villas, all are available at relatively affordable prices compared with locations in Gurugram. Some developers are also developing housing societies for seniors.
Good roads connecting the micro-market to major parts of Gurugram and Delhi, relatively lower real estate prices, industrial clusters nearby, and the government’s focus in creating world-class physical infrastructure, are major attractions for prospective homebuyers along Sohna Road and Sohna.
If reports and realty experts are to be believed, this micro-market is on a fast growth trajectory.
While all the required infrastructure and facilities exist, traffic and air pollution, like the other parts of NCR, are major drawbacks.
As per a report by private consultancy firm, Anarock, nearly 8,410 new units have been launched in NCR in the third quarter of 2021. Within NCR, Gurugram (MG Road, Sohna Road, Sohna, Golf Course Extension, Golf Course Road) saw maximum new launches comprising over 65 per cent share of the total new supply.
Gurugram dominated the sales market, with 3,850 units sold and thereby contributing 38 per cent of the total sales across NCR, the report said. Also, Gurugram has the highest available stock of 63,865 units, which is 38 per cent of the region’s total available inventory, it added.
