Having discussed the merits of Golf Course Road in a previous write-up, this feature highlights the exclusive characteristics of DLF 5 residential projects and what makes this sought-after locality the very heart and nerve centre of the Millennium City.
DLF 5 : Location, Connectivity and Infrastructure
The outer limits of DLF 5 are defined by arterial roads like Golf Course Extension Road, Gurgaon-Faridabad Road and ‘Sunset Boulevard’ (between Sectors 22-42). Golf Course Road starts at Sikanderpur Metro Station and Bristol Chowk precisely, passing right through sectors 42-43 and 53-54, culminating into Golf Course Extension Road.
The prime location enables further access to NH8, DLF Cyber City, DLF Phase 4 and Galleria Market, Southern Peripheral Road, MG Road and Gwal Pahari areas.

The recently completed underpasses have eased road traffic, with work in progress on the last one near Sector 53-54 Rapid Metro Station. Other Rapid Metro stations, namely Phase 1, Sector 42-43, Sector 54 Chowk provide direct connectivity with Sector 55-56, MG Road, Sikanderpur and DLF Cyber City, all of which can be reached in less than 20 minutes.
Supporting infrastructure maintained by DLF also provides 24×7 CCTV surveillance, a dedicated fire station, a sewage treatment plant and mechanized street cleaning system.
DLF 5 : Offices and Commercial Hubs
This neighbourhood is a blessing for those working in the Golf Course Road corporate hub of Gurgaon, wherein the offices can be accessed from the apartment complexes in not more than 10-15 minutes. Several major domestic and global companies are based out of Golf Course Road. Counted among major office buildings are:

Though most of the apartments in the vicinity have their individual clubhouses and recreational facilities, DLF 5 community also boasts of “Club 5” opposite DLF Trinity Towers in Sector 53. On the other hand, sector 42, which mainly has super-luxury accommodation, is home to the sprawling 142-acres DLF Golf and Country Club.

Presence of commercial hubs, sound infrastructure and access to good quality schools and hospitals are a major factor behind the higher-than-average prices at DLF 5 residential complexes.

Basic facilities like power backup, multi-tier security, covered car parking, rain-water harvesting and convenience shopping are provided in all the projects, although most of them do not have a pre-school for younger children. The DLF 5 properties are managed by global real estate services companies such as JLL, which looks after the maintenance and upkeep of the premises and building services.
DLF 5 : Closing Remarks
It is justifiably true that Golf Course Road is a lifeline of Gurgaon, while the DLF 5 group of residences and commercial hub are the enviable equivalent of “Lutyen’s Delhi”. With the launch of The Camellias and The Crest, which are due for possession in 2018, DLF Ltd. has further cemented its standing as the leading developer in the city. At the same time, road works and rapid metro are seeing continuous improvement and expansion. The 10.5 km stretch from DLF Cyber City to Sector 55-56 in Golf Course Road is also being developed as a 16-lane expressway, jointly by HUDA and DLF Ltd. This would be a signal-free corridor upon completion of the last remaining underpasses near Sector 54. Other major developers like Parsvnath, Vipul and Emaar also have existing and completed projects in DLF City Phase 5. Efforts are under way to allow better navigation for pedestrians and cyclists. These infrastructure developments along with presence of quality residential and commercial spaces are upholding DLF 5 community’s place as the undisputed elite address in Gurgaon.

My wife and I were new to Bangalore and were looking for suggestions while planning to buy a home. A little Google search led us to this little known site called PropStory. They provide comprehensive reviews of under-construction projects which are based on actual site visits. The details are better than those we see in newspaper ads or even FB ads of these projects. After a little research on this site we narrowed down our search to a leading developer’s project in HSR Layout

There are many websites one can refer to when deciding on real estate purchase. Of these I have only come across PropStory which provides the information in a narrative style. There are details about layout, specifications, local neighbourhood, connectivity and even developer background. I also like that they write about other matters like infrastructure, issues in real estate and hot topics like GST and RERA. Kudos to PropStory.

I recently visited a leading developer’s construction site and was disappointed by the lack of sufficient information the sales people gave me. My husband and I almost gave up on the project. But we like some of the specifications and decided to look for more online. That when we found PropStory and they had covered this project! We so pleased to find more info and were able to make our housebuying decision. Thanks PropStory.

When I was suggested to check out PropStory, I was not sure I would be interested. I don’t like reading and real estate is boring subject. But this site gives enough details through images also so that it is easy for those who don’t like reading. My opinion of real estate changed and I look forward to knowing more about upcoming residential projects in other cities too

PropStory I like your writing style. It is simple and understandable. You do not support any developer or project but have a general opinion about the projects. I also like your new site design where I can quickly scan through features of a project and what is available or not.

PropStory articles are good. I suggested to my brother in law to read these articles before deciding on a property. He was impressed with the details and knowledge of writer. Some construction technology used is also explained which helps us common man to understand. Other websites are not doing so. Well done PropStory!
