Backed by competitively priced inventory, improving infrastructure and presence of reputed builders, New Gurgaon is fast emerging as a preferred housing destination among potential homebuyers and investors. The micro-market constituting Sectors 81 to 95 has been identified as one of the two major real estate growth corridors in Delhi NCR, with Dwarka Expressway being the other one.
