Area Overview
What makes Sector 26A special
Sector 26A is a compact suffixed sector beside Sector 26, part of the DLF Phase 1 belt and separate from Sector 26 rather than a sub-area of it.
It is plotted stock with the same 1980s colony character — independent houses, builder floors, mature trees — in a smaller layout with a correspondingly narrow listing pool.
Access matches Sector 26 closely: MG Road metro about 2 km, Cyber City around nine minutes, IGI about thirty.

Why choose Sector 26A?

The trade-offs are a narrow listing pool given the sector’s size, older stock that varies in condition, and no retail centre of its own.
