Living in Delhi-NCR

Living in Delhi-NCR

An in-depth guide to expat enclaves in India's capital region.

Here is a more detailed guide to the residential environments and specific popular neighborhoods for Korean expats living in the Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region). The preferred residential areas differ distinctly based on the locations and types of Korean companies operating there.

Gurugram: The Corporate Hub

For those seeking the pinnacle of luxury in Gurugram, neighborhoods around Golf Course Road—such as DLF Magnolias, DLF Camellias, and DLF The Crest—are the top choices. Recently, the Golf Course Extension Road has gained immense popularity with large, modern complexes like M3M Golfestate and Ireo Grand Arch. Low-rise villas in gated communities across South City, Sushant Lok, and DLF Phase (1-5) remain consistently popular among families due to their proximity to Korean commercial hubs like Vyapar Kendra.

New Delhi: The Diplomatic Center

In South Delhi, neighborhoods adjacent to the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri, such as Anand Niketan, Shanti Niketan, and Vasant Vihar, are traditional ultra-premium areas. For locations closer to commercial districts, Defence Colony, Safdarjung Enclave, and Green Park are favored. Properties here are mostly 3 to 4-story independent 'Builder Floors' that offer great access to international schools, albeit at a high rental cost.

Noida: The Manufacturing Base

In Noida, expats often look at established large complexes like ATS Village in Sector 93A. Newly built apartments along the Noida Expressway (Sector 150) or Paras Tierea in Sector 137 are also gaining traction. For golf enthusiasts, the villas within the Jaypee Greens golf resort in Greater Noida are a fantastic option, offering spacious living at more reasonable prices than Gurugram.

"Stringent security systems and a dedicated 100% power backup are non-negotiable elements for a comfortable life in the Delhi-NCR."

It is also imperative to check whether the apartment has enough space for large air purifiers and if the kitchen plumbing supports an RO water purifier.
