Emaar Imperial Gardens

Imperial Gardens is a one-plan society, which makes the decision unusually simple. Every home is a 3 BHK with a utility room, at 2,025 sq.ft. Emaar India built it in Sector 102, Gurgaon, on about 13 acres, with 9 high-rise towers of 15 floors each and 576 apartments in all, and it's ready to move. The project is registered under RERA in phases, with registration numbers 208 OF 2017 and GGM/320/52/2019/14, and you can check each one on the state RERA portal before booking.

The planning puts privacy and views of the greens first. The apartments are garden facing, with colourful, continuous landscaping running between the towers. At 15 floors, the towers are also shorter than many newer high-rises, which keeps lift waits short and is something some families actively prefer.

Sector 102 is on the Dwarka Expressway side of Gurgaon, in a stretch that now has several completed societies, including Emaar's own Gurgaon Greens in the same sector. Because this is an established, lived-in area, you can get a real feel for the neighbourhood before you buy instead of relying on future plans.

The listed amenities are the practical ones: 24x7 security with CCTV, car parking, fire fighting, lifts and landscaped parks. The appeal here is more about the layout and the green outlook than a long list of facilities, so if a big clubhouse matters to you, ask what's available on site and nearby.

Homes were delivered with air conditioning and a modular kitchen, which cuts down the work needed before you or a tenant move in. With just the one layout, the 3 BHK + Utility at 2,025 sq.ft, indicative prices start around ₹2.45 Cr. Ready homes here are mostly resale, so the price depends on the floor, view and condition. Check the current sheet.

Imperial Gardens suits a buyer who wants a spacious 3 BHK in a finished society with a mature, green layout. With every flat the same size, comparing listings is easy, and setting a rent is straightforward because tenants know exactly what they're getting. For NRIs, the fact that homes came with air conditioning and a kitchen means less to organise from abroad.

On resale, though, the asking price is only the start. Check the transfer charges, any pending maintenance dues and the actual condition of the flat, including whether the original air conditioners and kitchen fittings are still in working order.

Emaar India is the Indian arm of Emaar Properties, the Dubai developer behind the Burj Khalifa, and is based in Gurugram. It has been active in the city long enough that many of its corridor projects are lived in, from Palm Hills and Palm Heights in Sector 77 to Gurgaon Greens and Imperial Gardens in Sector 102 and Palm Gardens in Sector 83, and you can walk through them to see how they have held up.
