Lifestyle Choices
Gurgaon offers a wide range of homes that fit into Expat Community moving into Gurgaon. While these may or may not be up to the finer standards of cities that you are used to living in, however, this website is created to make life easier for the Expats moving into Gurgaon to find the ones that are recommended as well as fit best into homes that one would consider closest to feeling at home.
There are a few broad categories that one could explore in the Expat Homes Space in Gurgaon. These would be Villas, Builder Floors & High Rise Apartments.
The Lifestyle Choices that Gurgaon offers can be sub divided into three broad categories:
Villas: There are two kinds of Villa Living available in Gurgaon, Stand Alone Homes and Villas in Gated Communities in Gurgaon. While the Stand Alone Homes may be better in terms of internal finish quality, however, they lack the sense of being in a gated secured community, one would have to necessarily organize security guards to man these independent Stand Alone Villas. On the other hand, the Villas in Gated Communities in Gurgaon offer mostly Row Houses and not detached homes like the western countries, these homes fit quite well with those who like to enjoy a lifestyle that is closer to nature and like to do up their own private front and back yards to their taste. The recommendation for those who fancy living in a Villa kind of set-up is of course to move into a Gated Villa Community. The primary reason for this recommendation is the Power (Electricity) Situation in Gurgaon and most of the Stand Alone Properties would not offer a centralized Power Back Up System, which is critical for surviving in Gurgaon. Also another reason would of course be in a more secured environment which is managed. There are very limited Gated Villa Communities in Gurgaon and some of the High Rise Apartment Communities have limited Villas also within the Community, which could be a good option to explore.
Builder Floors: Builder Floors is another category of Apartments in Gurgaon, which are Low Rise Apartments built on lots of land and would typically offer accommodation on Ground Floor, First Floor and Second Floor as three separate dwelling units. Within this category of Apartments there are Stand Alone Builder Floors and then there are Builder Floors in a Gated Community. Needless to mention that the recommendation is for the Builder Floors in a Gated Community in Gurgaon. The primary reason for this recommendation is the Power (Electricity) Situation in Gurgaon and most of the Stand Alone Properties would not offer a centralized Power Back Up System, which is critical for surviving in Gurgaon. Also another reason would of course be in a more secured environment which is managed.
High Rise Apartments: This of course is one of the most preferred lifestyle preferred by the Expat Community in Gurgaon. The reason is simple, these are more manageable and easy to maintain, while being in a Gated Secured Complex in Gurgaon. These typically would be a cluster of apartment buildings offering a central green area as well as power back up and other amenities of a modern lifestyle. These are definitely recommended for Expatriate Community in Gurgaon as they offer a secured environment with good quality lifestyle with minimal hassles. Some of the High Rise Apartment Buildings in Gurgaon also offer limited number of Villas built within the community, this could be one of the options to explore.
