Who lives in New Gurgaon - well, no less than 3500 families !!!

New Gurgaon is real. It's no longer a distant dream. I shifted here three months back, in April 2016 with a lot of apprehensions, and my wife swearing on me for dragging her to an uninhabited locale. However, most of our worries were unfounded. While i will cover different issues related to transport / office cabs / carpool, daily needs, daycares and schools, medical facilities etc. in different blogs, today i will focus on doing a quick estimation for you of the number of families living here.

So, let's start. We have the Vatika India Next in sector 82/83/84/85 with 1500 families. The DLF New Town Heights (NTH) series of apartments spread over sectors 86, 90, 91 has no less than 750 families. Bestech Ananda in sector 81 stands at about 200 families. Orris Carnation in sector 85 has more than 300 families. Vipul Lavanya in sector 81 has more than 150 families. Sare Crescent Parc in sector 92 has more than 450 families. The Tulip Apartments in sector 89 are likely to have atleast 200 families living there. At Mapsko Casa Bella people have started to move in and I expect some 50 families to be living there.

And this is just based on what I happen to see during my daily commutes. The actual number is likely to be much higher. So the area does not bear a deserted look at anytime of the day, and even until 10-11 pm in the night. Adjoining villages such as Sikanderpur, Hayatpur, Shikohpur also add to the density in the vicinity and provide the required manpower to run shops, attend to customer service requests of various service providers.

As per a report by the Economic Times in September 2015, more than 50,000 apartment units have already been launched across 95 projects. A year down the lane, a large portion of these units have already been delivered to the buyers and the remainder are in varying stages of construction and hand over.
