Moving to Gurgaon? An Honest Guide to Areas, Rents and Roommates

How Gurgaon is actually laid out

Think of Gurgaon in pockets, not just sector numbers:

• DLF Phases 1–3 – close to Cyber City and MG Road, mixed crowd, popular with young professionals.
• Golf Course Road & Extension – newer high‑rises, premium amenities, higher rents.
• Sohna Road – slightly more affordable, IT & BPO crowd, more traffic at peaks.
• Older pockets & MG Road belt – older buildings, more chaos, cheaper but require more filtering for safety and hygiene.

When you pick a pocket, think about your office/co‑working, late‑night returns, metro access and whether you prefer quiet societies or street energy.

Typical rents for shared flats in Gurgaon

Numbers shift, but realistic per‑person shared flat ranges look like:

• DLF Phase 1–3: ₹13k – ₹22k
• Golf Course Road: ₹18k – ₹30k+
• Sohna Road: ₹10k – ₹18k
• Older mixed pockets: ₹8k – ₹15k

On top of that, add:

• Maintenance: often ₹1–3k per flat.
• Electricity, Wi‑Fi, maid, water: usually ₹2–4k per person.

So a "room for ₹10k" usually means closer to ₹12–14k all‑in once you're honest about bills. On Homigo, we encourage people to be upfront about total monthly spend, not just base rent.

Who actually moves to Gurgaon?

Mostly:

• Young professionals in tech, consulting, banking, D2C startups.
• MBA students interning or joining firms.
• Founders, sales teams, early‑stage operators.

That means your likely flatmates care about work, commute, and some social life. You want people who respect work schedules, basic hygiene and occasional late nights without constant chaos.

Where to live in Gurgaon based on your vibe

First job, budget‑conscious

Look at Sohna Road, some older pockets, or shared rooms in DLF. Focus first on safety and commute, then on fancy amenities.

Mid‑career, higher budget

Look at DLF Phases and Golf Course Road. You get better societies, security, lifts, backup and common areas you're happy to invite people into.

Remote / WFH‑heavy

Prioritise newer high‑rises with reliable power and noise control. Make sure your flatmates understand long calls, quiet hours and shared space etiquette.

How to find roommates in Gurgaon without brokers

You have three real options:

• Brokers – fast, expensive, hit‑or‑miss on compatibility.
• Large WhatsApp/FB groups – chaotic, unverified, lots of scrolling and guessing.
• Homigo – built specifically for roommates and rooms in India.

Using Homigo for Gurgaon:

• Set your city to Gurgaon and mark pockets like DLF Phases, Cyber City belt, Golf Course Road.
• Set budget and move‑in date realistically.
• Answer lifestyle questions honestly: cleanliness, guests, pets, schedule.

You'll then see verified profiles also looking in Gurgaon, with similar budgets and lifestyle. Match with people whose vibe you like, chat inside Homigo, and then go see flats together — without a broker steering you.

Safety and sanity checklist before you say yes

• Visit the society in daylight and after dark.
• Check security, lifts, staircases, corridors, lighting.
• Ask about power backup and realistic summer electricity bills.
• Don't pay full deposit before seeing and signing an agreement.
• Walk away if any flatmate feels like a walking red flag.

Final thoughts: your Gurgaon experience is who you live with

Gurgaon can be incredible or constantly draining depending on where — and with whom — you live. Skipping random brokers and chaotic groups in favour of intentional roommate matching is the easiest way to tilt the odds in your favour.

If you're moving to Gurgaon soon, start with people first. Create your Homigo profile and match with flatmates who share your budget, pockets and way of living — before you say yes to a lease.
