DLF Park Place

Set along the tree-lined Park Drive in Sector 54, DLF Park Place is one of the long-established condominiums of DLF Phase 5. It is ready to move, so what you see is what you get. We don't have a verified RERA number for DLF Park Place on file yet, so ask us for it and check it on the state RERA portal before you pay anything.

This is a big community, with more than 1,000 apartments spread over about 6 hectares. Even so, the open layout means most homes look out over landscaping rather than into each other, and adjacent apartments are planned so they don't overlook one another.

Park Place is close to the DLF Golf and Country Club, with access from the 60-metre-wide Sector Road. Golf Course Road is one of Gurgaon's most established premium corridors, with mature greenery and everyday conveniences already in place, so there is nothing to wait for here. Millennium City Centre Metro is about 4.5 km away and DLF Cyber City about 6.5 km, which makes for a short, practical commute if you work there. Medanta, The Medicity and Ambience Mall are about 7 km, Rajiv Chowk about 7.5 km and Aerocity about 12.5 km.

What you get is a ready, lived-in community in DLF Phase 5, where every configuration includes a servant room. Sound-proof double-glazed windows keep the noise out and also help save energy, and the complex has multi-layered security access and an integrated fire-fighting system.

Within the condominium there are large landscaped greens, walkways, a children's play area, a swimming pool, a gym and tennis courts. Residents also have access to Club Vita at the community centre, which adds a spa, a salon, squash, lawn tennis, an aerobics room and a basketball court. Lobbies are centrally air-conditioned with power backup, there is a water conservation and sewage treatment plant, and parking is ample for both residents and visitors.

The 4 BHK apartments were delivered with air-conditioning, a modular kitchen with appliances including refrigerators and dishwashers, and a jacuzzi in the master bath, and every bedroom has an attached bathroom. Since this is a resale market, check what is still in place in the specific flat you are shown.

Sizes start with a 2 BHK + SQ of 1,677 sq.ft. The 3 BHK + SQ comes in 1,975 sq.ft, 2,282 sq.ft and 2,329 sq.ft, and the 4 BHK + SQ is 2,677 sq.ft. Prices start around ₹7.25 Cr, with unit-wise pricing on request. Resale prices move with the floor, the view and the condition, so check the current figures.

Park Place suits families who want a Golf Course Road address and an existing community today, and who are happy with mid-sized homes. For NRIs, a ready flat this close to Cyber City is straightforward to rent out and easy to manage, since the building, the club and the neighbourhood are all known quantities. At these prices you are paying mainly for location rather than space, which is a fair trade for many buyers but not for everyone. Before buying, check the OC and conveyance status and the transfer charges, and find out how many flats in the tower are rented out, since that affects the feel of the building.

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.
