Area Overview
What makes Sector 61 special
Sector 61 sits in the upper stretch of Golf Course Extension Road, just past the ridge-frontage group, and it has the strongest school access on the corridor.
Heritage Xperiential is about 2 km, Scottish High about 4 km and Lancers about 6 km — a cluster that draws family demand from across this side of Gurugram.
Development is low-density and largely delivered, with several projects occupied for years, and pricing sits just below the ridge sectors.
