DLF The Ultima

Among DLF's projects in the Garden City area of New Gurgaon, The Ultima is one of the flagships. It's a gated community of 15 high-rise towers across 23 acres in Sector 81, and it's ready to move. Homes are 3 and 4 BHK, and every apartment comes with an attached servant room. The project is registered under RERA with registration number GGM/358/90/2019/52, which you can check on the state RERA portal before booking.

DLF clearly spent on design here. The architecture is by ARCOP and the landscaping by Paul Friedberg, and you can see the result as you walk the grounds: 27 water bodies, shaded walkways, terrace gardens in each tower and balconies measuring 8 ft by 25 ft that look out over the greens.

Sector 81 lies just off NH-48, between Delhi and Manesar, and the area has filled out nicely. Good schools nearby include DPS, Shri Ram Early Years and Bal Bharti, and colleges like IMT Manesar and Gurugram University are within reach. For healthcare there's Rockland Hospital and Lifecare Hospital, for shopping there's Vatika City Centre and Baani Center Point, and big office hubs such as DLF Cyber City, DLF Corporate Greens and One Horizon are within commuting reach.

You also have plenty of road options, including NH-48, the Dwarka Expressway, the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway, the Southern Peripheral Road, Pataudi Road and the Central Peripheral Road. The closest metro station is HUDA City Centre, and IGI Airport is the nearest airport.

A few things are worth underlining. This is a ready DLF home on 23 acres with 15 high-rise towers, there's a community nursery and primary school inside, and 4 BHK owners get three parking spaces. The amenity list is long and family-friendly. Outdoors you'll find a jogging track, a cycling track, an open gym and areas for tennis, basketball, cricket and badminton. There's a swimming pool, a banquet hall and a clubhouse, a senior citizens' corner and even background music in the gardens. On top of that, you get 24x7 security with CCTV, power backup, water storage, fire fighting, housekeeping and maintenance staff.

The flats come well fitted. Floors are in granite and marble, the modular kitchen has Siemens appliances, the air conditioners are Daikin and the lifts are Toshiba. Doors have a biometric lock, and the air-conditioned entrance lobbies are finished in Crema Marfil and Burberry Beige, with designer chandeliers.

There are two main sizes: the 3 BHK + Servant at 2,100 sq.ft and the 4 BHK + Servant at 2,800 sq.ft. Indicative prices start around ₹3.9 Cr, but since sales here are resale, the actual figure depends on the tower, floor and condition, so check the current sheet.

The Ultima is for a buyer who wants a premium, finished home with a proper DLF address and a lot of open space. The fitted specifications mean less work after you buy, which helps when you're managing the purchase from abroad. It's also a good choice if parents or relatives will live there, given the senior citizens' corner, the walkways and the school on site. Before you buy, confirm which fittings are still in place in the specific flat, how many parking spaces transfer with it, and what the society charges for maintenance.

DLF is often called Gurugram's founding developer. It started in Delhi in 1946 building residential colonies, then assembled 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. On the New Gurugram side, most of its projects are ready and sell on resale.
