Sector 3 sits within Old Gurgaon and primarily offers 2, 3, and 4 BHK residential apartments in the premium budget segment. The sector carries pin code 122006 and is bounded by Sectors 4, 5, and 7. Unlike the high-rise-dense corridors along Golf Course Road or Southern Peripheral Road, this part of Gurgaon carries the character of a mature neighbourhood — a mix of established housing colonies such as Ashok Vihar and Sheetla Colony alongside newer apartment complexes. Sheetla Colony is a settled area where many families have lived for a long time, giving it a community character uncommon in newer sectors.
Proximity to Dwarka Expressway, Old Railway Road, and Carterpuri Road ensures widespread connectivity for residents. Sector 3 connects to other parts of Gurgaon and Delhi via the Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road. Indira Gandhi International Airport is approximately 16 kilometres away. Iffco Chowk Metro Station is about a 15-minute drive from the sector.
Haryana Transport Corporation buses connect Sector 3 to New Delhi, Faridabad, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Sohna, Bahadurgarh, Dwarka, and several other destinations. Two metro lines pass close to the locality — Shalimar HUDA City Centre and Sikanderpur Metro Station are the nearest stations, both offering direct access to New Delhi. The sector is also served by Gurgaon Railway Station, with Palam Vihar and Basai Dhankot stations as additional rail access points.
The sector sits close to major commercial areas like Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, and various business parks, providing substantial employment proximity. This positioning makes Sector 3 practical for professionals working across Gurgaon's primary IT and financial districts, who want to avoid the price premium of sectors directly on Golf Course Road or Sohna Road while maintaining reasonable commute distances.
The sector has a range of schools and educational institutions nearby, including Woodstock School, Gems International School, Cambridge Convent School, and Maharishi Public Sr. Sec. School. Blue Bells Modern School and Lady of Fatima Junior School are also located near the area.
Healthcare facilities in and around the sector include Chirag Hospital, Columbia Asia Hospital Palam Vihar, Fortis Hospital, Alpine Hospital, and Aarvy Hospital. The area has well-maintained parks and open spaces, which adds to its suitability for families with children.
The rate on 99acres for Sector 3 stands at approximately ₹9,650 per sq ft, with apartment prices having appreciated 3.2% over the past year. Rent and property prices are comparatively stable by Gurgaon standards, placing the sector in a more accessible band than the Golf Course Road or DLF Phase 5 corridors, where rates range from ₹8,000 to ₹25,000 per sq ft.
Sector 3 offers a range of residential options including independent houses, villas, and apartment complexes. The 3 BHK configuration accounts for over 80% of buyer searches in the locality over the past six months. The Haryana government increased circle rates by 10 to 30 percent across key residential zones, effective August 4, 2025 — a factor buyers and investors should account for in total acquisition cost calculations.
Among the key residential projects in Sector 3, Godrej Habitat stands alongside Bestech Park View Residency, SFS Flats Phase IV, and Ashok Vihar Phase 1 as one of the more prominent addresses. The project sits on 7.5 acres and comprises four high-rise towers with approximately 380 units, with floor sizes ranging from 1,490 sq ft to 3,008 sq ft. Godrej Properties markets Godrej Habitat as its most secure address in the sector, built around a five-tier security system. The four towers rise to 17 floors each.
Most of the 7.5-acre site has been retained as open spaces and landscaped gardens, with the project's security focus and elevated-living positioning being its defining product attributes. Social infrastructure within easy reach of the project includes Blue Bells Modern School, ICFAI University, Medanta, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Star Mall, and Ambience Mall.
The Godrej Group was founded in 1897, and Godrej Properties began operating as a real estate development company within the group in 1990. It is a publicly listed company on both BSE and NSE (ticker: GODREJPROP), backed by the Godrej Group's institutional heritage. The company has delivered 65-plus projects with a near-zero abandonment record and consistently ranks among India's top three developers by residential sales value.
In Gurgaon specifically, the developer's portfolio spans projects including Godrej Meridien, Godrej Vrikshya, Godrej Zenith, and Godrej Aristocrat. Commercial projects in the city include Godrej Two in Sector 44 and Godrej Frontier in Sector 80. Most recently, Tata Projects was awarded contracts worth nearly ₹1,100 crore for construction work across three Godrej residential projects on Golf Course Road — Godrej Sora, Godrej Astra, and Godrej Samaris. Sector 3 and Godrej Habitat represent the developer's presence in Old Gurgaon, a distinct sub-market from its Golf Course Road and Dwarka Expressway activity.
