Sobha International City

On the Dwarka Expressway, there are only a few places where you can buy a proper villa inside a large gated township, and Sobha International City is one of them. It's spread over about 150 acres in Sector 109, Gurgaon, and it's ready to move. The homes are 4 and 5 BHK villas on plots of 270 to 400 sq.yd. We don't have a verified RERA number for Sobha International City on file yet, so ask us for it and check it on the state RERA portal before you pay anything.

These are big, carefully finished houses. Each villa has a private elevator, a study and a gym, and two large master bedrooms with the option of a Jacuzzi and steam cubicle. The family and dining rooms have double-height ceilings and oversized French windows that look out to the greens. You also get front and rear lawns, terrace gardens and utility rooms for domestic help and storage.

Sector 109 sits on the Dwarka Expressway, which connects Dwarka in Delhi to NH-48 in Gurgaon. Being at the Delhi end of the corridor puts you close to both cities, and IGI Airport is only about 5 minutes away. The township also has its own school, which matters a lot for families with children.

It's set up for a full life inside the gates. There's a clubhouse, a swimming pool, a banquet hall and a library, along with courts for tennis, basketball and badminton and a cricket pitch. You'll also find a cycling track, a jogging track, an open gym, shaded walkways and a senior citizens' corner. Security runs 24x7 with CCTV, and there's power backup, water storage, fire fighting, housekeeping and maintenance staff.

The 4 BHK villas sit on 270 sq.yd plots and the 5 BHK villas on 400 sq.yd plots. Indicative prices start around ₹9 Cr. Most sales here are resale, and villa prices vary a lot with plot size, position and condition, so check the current sheet.

This is for a buyer who wants a house, not a flat, and is willing to pay for space, privacy and finish. For NRI families planning a return to India, or looking for a base for parents, a villa with its own lift, lawns and staff rooms is hard to match in a tower. Being about 5 minutes from the airport also makes it practical for frequent travellers.

Villas age differently from apartments, so inspect the structure, terraces and waterproofing closely before you buy. Confirm the plot size on the documents, the maintenance charges and any transfer costs.

Sobha is a Bengaluru developer, founded in 1995, and it does much of its design and construction in-house instead of handing it all to contractors. People who tour its homes usually notice the finishing first, which is why its Gurugram projects tend to be priced at the upper end of their sectors. Its other ready project here is Sobha City in Sector 108, and its newer launches lean towards luxury.
