The best places to stay on rent in Delhi-NCR

Which are the best places to live on rent in the Delhi-National Capital Region and what should tenants watch out for? We examine

The market for rental accommodation in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), has remained strong, especially along the outskirts. With the government’s demonetisation drive affecting real estate sales, the rental market has gained momentum. Consequently, people should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of renting, to arrive at the best choice. While renting a house, it is important to consider the rental price, as much as the real benefits of living on rent.

 

Gurugram

Gurugram and its new sectors in particular, continue to be favorite destinations, for prospective tenants. The metro system, which covers the millennium city, makes it fairly easy to travel within Gurugram.

Golf Course Extension and Sectors 47, 50, 55 and 56, are the most-preferred rental destinations in Gurugram, owing to their proximity to established social infrastructure, such as educational institutions, healthcare centres, entertainment zones, commercial hubs and connectivity by metro and other modes of transport,” says Geetanjali Anand, director, Andy Home.

Another workable option is Faridabad, which is finally getting its due. It has turned into a hub for buying property in India.

The uniform level of occupancy, makes Faridabad a very affordable option to rent a house, as well. The area enjoys good connectivity with Noida, Gurugram and Delhi.

The metro connects the satellite town to Noida and Delhi. The Gurugram-Faridabad Expressway also helps commuters to cover the distance between the two towns swiftly.
