Ratings & Reviews of Govindpuri, Delhi

Positives: It was temporary for just a few months, but Govindpuri seemed like the ideal temporary residence due to how much money I saved and the convenience of travelling. The best feature by far was having the Govindpuri Metro Station conveniently located on the Violet Line. I also enjoyed its closeness to big job centres such as Nehru Place and Okhla, so my daily office trip was really short. The overall cost of renting property in this part of South Delhi was an enormous relief for my budget. Negatives: I feel the streets were very narrow and overly crowded, making both walking and driving a daily ordeal. Second, the lack of tidiness in some of the inner alleys was apparent, with trash problems around residential houses. Third, nighttime safety seemed questionable.

Positives: Coming into this neighborhood was all about affordability and convenience. I'm really satisfied with that compromise! The largest plus is certainly the Metro connection. The area having the station right here simplifies my commute, and the local bazaars are just so lively and cheap for everyday essentials. The rental here is actually less expensive than the trendier South Delhi areas closer in, which is a big plus for me as a temporary renter. Negatives: But the place is always teeming with people. It's making the narrow roads feel impossibly congested with traffic. Sanitation is a big problem; trash accumulates fast and frequently. Moreover, having reliable, clean water is a daily issue in my lane, and open markets are really stressful. I just hope I can improve the means of filtering my drinking water.

Positives: Govindpuri's connectivity is very good. We have Govindpuri Metro Station, frequent buses & autos, and the roads such as Guru Ravidas Marg and Maa Anandmayee Marg connect us easily to Nehru Place, Kalkaji & Okhla. Deshbandhu College, and fine hospitals are not far. Day markets, parks such as Astha Kunj, and shops are all at walking distances, so I never have any problem about basic needs. Negatives: Parking is a major problem, narrow roads, builder floors or small houses, and many streets are also jam-packed. Also, waterlogging around the metro station and on roads during rains is frequent. Nights are noisy in some places, and some alleys do not feel secure for walking alone.

Positives: On my first day here, I felt like I had picked a handy location to bring up a family. I own my apartment here and I enjoy the solid metro connection (Govindpuri station on Violet Line), rapid access to Kalkaji, Lotus Temple and Nehru Place, and busy local markets and schools nearby. The locality is predominantly residential, has affordable housing, and good bus and road connectivity to South and Central Delhi. Negatives: I believe two drawbacks are heavy traffic at rush hour and insufficient parking around bazaars. Some of the lanes are small, and waterlogging during heavy rains due to drainage can be a problem. Nevertheless, I am a contented resident of this area. The social atmosphere, convenience available on a daily basis and convenient metro commutes make Govindpuri a convenient and welcoming residence for us.

Positives: Living in Govindpuri has been an eye-opener for me. South Delhi has some affordable localities, and this is one of them. I could purchase a home for a relatively better price in comparison to other places. Also, Okhla and Nehru Place are two big commercial places that you can access quickly, while the metro line is also there. My experience has been pretty good here. Negatives: What I don’t like is how crowded the area is. The population density is too high, in my opinion. There is a lot of traffic congestion as well during the peak office hours.

Positives: I appreciated that Govindpuri was quite well networked. It had a Metro station (Violet Line), and a lot of buses along with road connectivity to Nehru Place, Okhla, Kalkaji, so commuting was easy. Local market, grocery stores, parks, decent schools and hospitals were near at hand. I also appreciated that it had a middle-class crowd, not too upscale, but cozy, plenty of people around until late evening. Negatives: The roads were narrow and prone to congestion easily, parking was a nightmare. Drainage & roads were poor in certain areas after rains, Garbage collection was poor, irregular cleaning were major issues. Also noise & safety in certain lanes during nighttime made me apprehensive walking late sometimes.

Positives: It took me some time to get a reasonable place close to Nehru Place, but being in Govindpuri has worked extremely well for my daily office travel, so I'd give it 4 stars. We have the Violet Line Metro station here, which is a huge relief, and reaching Okhla is super quick too. All the essentials of daily needs are taken care of, such as local markets, hospitals, and parks like Astha Kunj are all within walking distance. Negatives: The roads are never empty, particularly around the main market and the narrow, encroached-upon lanes that make it difficult to navigate on foot. It's a nightmare to park a car, and though the main roads are well lit, some of the inner lanes can be very noisy and even unsafe at late hours of the night.
