The Aralias

Golf Drive, facing the DLF Golf & Country Club, where DLF sold homes by invitation. The Aralias, in DLF5 Golf Links, Sector 42, was designed by Hafeez Contractor with landscape by Belt Collins, and has been complete and lived in for well over a decade. Homes are large apartments and penthouses, reported at roughly 5,800 to 10,800 sq ft super area, handed over as shells for owners to fit out.

LHG's view

Buyers drawn to The Aralias usually want an address that has already proved itself, among long-standing neighbours. This is where DLF5 Golf Links began, as DLF's first project sold by invitation, and it has been complete and occupied since around 2007. The towers by Hafeez Contractor face the DLF Golf & Country Club, with its Arnold Palmer and Gary Player courses, and Belt Collins laid out a central garden of pools and a waterfall. Homes are large, roughly 5,800 to 10,800 sq ft super area, and were handed over as bare shells, so each one reflects how its owner chose to finish it. The estate's services ease daily life, from a concierge to a doctor on call with an ambulance and nurse on site, and The Sanctuary's 6.8-hectare park with its walking track runs along Golf Drive. For a family that wants a settled home on Golf Course Road, every purchase here is a resale among the older, proven addresses rather than the new launches.
