DLF Belaire

DLF Belaire is the opposite of a launch. It is a finished, ready-to-move community in DLF Phase 5, Sector 54, with more than 150 families already living there and sequential transfers under way, so you are buying into a settled neighbourhood rather than a construction site. We don't have a verified RERA number for DLF Belaire on file yet, so ask us for it and check it on the state RERA portal before you pay anything.

The homes are large 4 BHK apartments, along with penthouses designed for extra space, and many of them overlook the DLF Golf Course greens. The whole place is quiet, green and very established.

Sector 54 sits at the centre of DLF Phase 5, close to Golf Course Road, one of Gurgaon's most established premium addresses. The DLF Golf and Country Club, with its two signature golf courses, is right in the neighbourhood, and multinational offices, good restaurants, shopping, multi-specialty hospitals and schools are all close by.

Getting around is easy. HUDA City Centre metro and NH-8 are each about 10 minutes away, and the rapid metro network and a 16-lane expressway are nearby. In terms of distance, Millennium City Centre Metro is about 4.5 km, DLF Cyber City about 6.5 km, Medanta, The Medicity and Ambience Mall about 7 km, Rajiv Chowk about 7.5 km and Aerocity about 12.5 km.

The lobby and clubhouse interiors are by Richmond International. The clubhouse has swimming pools, a gym and a multi-cuisine fine dining restaurant, and there are tennis and badminton courts, a kids' play area and wide landscaped spaces around the towers. Professional maintenance keeps everything running, which matters a lot in an older building.

Homes were handed over fully loaded and air-conditioned, with imported Italian marble flooring, wooden flooring in the bedrooms, fans fitted and fully fitted toilets and bathrooms. In practice, that means far less fit-out work than buying a bare shell, which is a real plus if you are managing things from overseas.

The residences are 4 BHK apartments, along with penthouses, and prices start around ₹12 Cr. Because this is a ready project, availability depends on which units are on the resale market at a given time, so sizes and current prices are shared on request, and they do move.

Golf course views, an established DLF Phase 5 address and a finished, occupied community are a rare combination. For an NRI family there is no construction risk and no waiting, and the Cyber City and Golf Course Road office belt nearby keeps the area in demand with senior professionals. The case rests on lifestyle and stability, though, not dramatic upside, since you are buying at mature-market prices.

Because the building isn't new, check the condition of the specific flat and the common areas, and how the lifts and services have been maintained. On a resale, also confirm the conveyance deed, transfer charges and any pending dues.

DLF started in Delhi in 1946 building residential colonies, and later put together the land that became DLF City in old Gurugram, with its Phases, Cyber City and Golf Course Road. Projects like The Camellias and The Aralias set the top end of the city's housing market, so DLF's name carries real weight with buyers here.
