Gurgaon: A rising metropolitan hub

 Gurgaon, the millennium city has long spired to become the epicenter of commercial as well as residential real estate growth in India. Considering the investments that have been pouring into the city, the expansion that has been witnessed by the residents has been unparalleled.

It is not just real estate that has gotten a massive boost, but infrastructure projects have been accelerated over the years. Main connectivity routes such as the Mg Road, Golf Course Road and Sohna Road have all been upgraded to handle the traffic of present times.

Understanding the increase in vehicular traffic on the roads, the city underwent a massive revamp of flyovers, expressways, underpasses and foot bridges. Even simpler modes of transportation such as bicycles have been provided dedicated space/paths alongside other vehicles on the road. This has given a massive boost to the ability of job workers to commute and reach their place of employment in time.

With residences like DLF Magnolias only at a 5-minute distance, resident and employees who service such apartments can arrive seamlessly.
