Janakpuri, Delhi Reviews

Shekhar
Tenant
Positive

Janakpuri provides a great, established West Delhi lifestyle that seems safe and whole. As the Blue and Magenta lines provide multiple close stations, excellent Metro connection is my favourite advantage. The broad, structured look given the DDA colonies by the well-ordered roads Great hospitals like Mata Chanan Devi, many well-known educational institutions, and energetic markets like the District Centre are among the beneficiaries of Offering a strong community atmosphere, the neighbourhood is mature. But I've seen local traffic snarls and parking problems are always growing, hence better enforcement and planning are needed to maintain the highways as nice as the region itself.

I advise clients to consider Janakpuri. With a vibrant district centre, active markets, and Unity One Mall nearby, West Delhi is a mature, thoroughly planned area. Fast access across the metropolis is provided by the Blue Line metro. Daily ease is enhanced by excellent parks, hospitals, and schools. Buyers have a lot of options from a good combination of builder floors, DDA flats, and contemporary apartments. Family and expert demand keep gross rental yields between 2.5 and 4 percent. Stable price appreciation and simple resale have been demonstrated. In certain areas, civic agencies are updating ancient water and sewage systems. For long term value, I support Janakpuri.

Positives: Being a renter in Janakpuri offers such a familiar and pleasant lifestyle. With the Blue and Magenta lines close by. The great Metro connection enables daily commuting to locations such as CP or Gurugram. The area also has a great social life with top hospitals and universities like Maharaj Surajmal Institute of Technology, as well as the Janakpuri District Centre for shopping. DDA flats and building floors present several excellent living choices.

Negative

Negatives: Traffic congestion and often jams are a severe daily aggravation that calls for more effective control. Some of the routes, such Dharam Marg, have grown evident potholes, therefore the general road quality and maintenance should always be raised across the area for less bumpy transportation.

Positive: I selected Janakpuri because of its very high metro connectivity, having both the Blue and Magenta lines at the likes of Janakpuri West. This was a big plus in the heart of West Delhi. It was close to hospitals such as Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital and renowned schools like Kendriya Vidyalaya. The established, well-planned DDA flats and colonies were my preference. Although mid-to-high segment, it had the best of comfort and convenience.

Negative

Negative: The only long-standing problem was the poor frequency and availability of government buses, which made short trips annoying without the metro. Certain inner residential streets also had visible pothole issues, which most of the time led to vehicle wear and tear and sluggish drives.

Positives: I have metro connectivity from both Janakpuri West and East on the Blue and Magenta lines, which is very convenient. My favorite aspect is that there are a lot of parks and also major medical centers such as Mata Chanan Devi Hospital. Although it's definitely not cheap, the facilities and serenity are worth the long-term cost.

Negative

Negatives: What actually irks me is the increasing parking issue in the residential blocks. Moreover, traffic jams around the Janakpuri District Centre and Outer Ring Road are worsening and causing major traveling delays. I believe the local authority should impose parking regulations strictly and remodel traffic patterns around the commercial hubs immediately.

Positive

Positives: I picked Janakpuri long ago due to the unrivalled metro connectivity. Having the Blue and Magenta lines on Janakpuri West is the largest unique selling point. District Centre and parks like Buddha Jayanti within walking distance. The blocks are secure, lit up, and the area is well-established and green. I truly adore this peaceful yet linked corner of West Delhi.

Negative

Negatives: My greatest daily annoyance is certainly the traffic jam, particularly attempting to exit on to the main roads during rush hour. I fear that most of the internal roads, especially the back lanes, actually badly need immediate repairs because of potholes. The lack of parking area around the busy markets is also a huge inconvenience.

I love staying in Janakpuri. It’s got the vibe that defines Delhi for me! This includes the vibrant and bustling local markets, where you can pick up some insanely cool stuff at really affordable rates. It’s a great way to spend time for me and my family. Also, the social amenities and connectivity aspects are very good here. Yes, the prices are slightly costly, but you do get a prime location that’s near several major business and shopping hubs.

Negative

I think that the authorities should fix the waterlogging problem, which is a major issue every year. The Janakpuri West metro station approach road needs serious fixing and suitable drainage.

Janakpuri is a dream place to live in New Delhi, at least in my opinion. Now, I must highlight how the central location benefits you at all times. The airport, Connaught Place, India Gate- all places are easily accessible, while the metro access is also there. The property prices are fair, although they have increased over the years. The internal roads are well-developed, while the amenities are all available within my fingertips. I personally feel that it is a great choice that my parents made, while buying a home here in the past. Yes, some traffic congestion is there, but I think that can be solved.

One of the things that I love about Janakpuri is that you’re never too far away from anything. 30-40 minutes is all it takes, if you’re looking to access the IGI Airport or popular hubs like Connaught Place. Even India Gate is just 35-40 minutes from the place, a hangout where I like to spend some of my evenings each week. Also, Janakpuri is a paradise for street shopping. Me and my wife love picking up fabulous bargains on clothes, accessories, and other stuff, especially shawls and jackets in winter. So, from a shopping and leisure point of view, nothing beats this area. Also, the overall amenities are nicely developed, in my opinion. Waterlogging near the Janakpuri West metro station is a big problem. This leads to jams and snarls after heavy rains. There are also big crowds for shopping here, particularly in the festive season.

Positives: I feel well placed in Janakpuri and I say it meets my requirements. The metro and bus connectivity make everyday travel easy and I easily reach central Delhi. I appreciate the designed blocks, broad roads and community parks where I stroll in the evenings. Markets, hospitals and schools are within walking distance and rents seem reasonable for professionals and families. The place is safe with proactive resident associations.

Negative

Negatives: I do have a few points which can be improved. Some inner lanes are jammed in the rush hours and parking is done with less space. Some market pockets require enhanced cleanliness and maintenance. A few places are dimly lit at night which makes me wary to walk alone. Despite that I would suggest Janakpuri for its extremely peaceful and convenience.

When I think of the biggest plus point of my area, it is the central location. At least, I find it very easy to reach several places in Delhi from here. The shopping scene is a major plus point, what with the District Complex and also the local stalls. They offer fabulous bargains on accessories, clothing, and a lot of other cool stuff. This has been a preferred activity for me since my school days. My parents moved here when I was little, and ever since, I have grown up quite happily in this neighbourhood. The metro station access is another facility that we’ve got used to, and the communities here are actually pretty well-developed.

Negative

I think there’s a lot of traffic and crowds, which can be managed better. At the same time, the drainage network is ageing and needs a lot of improvements.

I begin my day viewing flats in Janakpuri and I enjoy its plotted nature. The District Centre provides consumers and families with a vibrant market and branded shops. Janakpuri West is a large metro interchange on the Blue and Magenta lines. Spacious tree-lined pockets and numerous parks provide actual greenery and tranquility. Good schools, hospitals and consistent neighbourhood services appeal to families and local banks in the vicinity. Prices are reasonable compared to central Delhi and investors have regular demand. Metro upgrading and underground cabling are enhancing infrastructure. Roads are well planned, though traffic gets congested at markets. My suggestion for buyers who are seeking a combination of convenience and value is Janakpuri. Two things to be improved are congestion at markets and improving drainage and road maintenance.

Janakpuri is perhaps the best place to stay in, if you’re looking for the vibrant Delhi-wala feeling. Imagine the amazing markets, the District Complex, and all the great bargains on offer! It is just too good, in my opinion. Now imagine getting to stay here and I feel so happy about it! Metro access is a breeze, with the Janakpuri West Station, and the access to the Magenta and Blue Lines. Getting to both Noida and Gurgaon is so convenient, as a result. People are friendly here, and the overall layout is extremely well-planned. The only thing is that sanitation could be better, and traffic congestion can be reduced.

Having lived here as a homeowner, I can honestly say that Janakpuri is one of West Delhi's best area. It's a well-established, secure, and family-friendly colony with a most upscale ambience. The several metro stations, namely Janakpuri East and West, and very good road connectivity through Outer Ring Road, so driving to main office hubs is not a problem. The DDA flats are large, and the social infrastructure ranging from hospitals such as Mata Chanan Devi to well-known schools and the lively District Center is all available here. We highly recommend this locality but one aspect which needs attention is the drainage system on certain inner roads that can become problematic during the monsoon season.

I have stayed here for some years, before I moved out nearer to the workplace hubs in Gurugram. In my opinion, Janakpuri is a well-established and developed locality. There are three metro stations serving the locality, and one advantage is that you can easily access the Blue and Magenta Lines. Being near the Delhi Cantonment, it’s almost the heart of the city, and the IGI Airport is just about 18 km away. The Outer Ring Road, Pankha Road, Najafgarh Road, and many other major thoroughfares are readily accessible from here. The local markets and commercial hubs are also accessible, which makes Janakpuri a shopping hotspot.

Negative

One of the issues in Janakpuri is how the area is so crowded throughout the day, and even till late in the night. Yes, it’s a shopping hub and attracts many people, but the crowds and noise are hard to deal with at times.

God, I miss living in Janakpuri. I have shifted a couple of years back to another city, and that’s when my stay ended in this bustling locality. To me, Janakpuri has always been symbolic of the flavour of Delhi. There is the Unity One Mall present here, while the Janakpuri District Centre is another shopping and entertainment hub. Many local markets are available here, offering fantastic bargains on clothes, accessories, and many other goodies. This is one of the biggest advantages of staying in Janakpuri. And, if you want to get to the airport, it’s only within 25 minutes or so, which cuts down travelling time for frequent flyers. Yes, traffic congestion is a problem here, and it’s probably the same for most other places in Delhi.

Positive

Positives: I've lived in Janakpuri as a tenant for years and highly suggest it. Great schools and large hospitals are all within hand. The Blue and Magenta Metro lines make it so easy for me to travel to my Gurugram office. And with the recent pledge to infrastructure, such as the planned underground power line project, it demonstrates that the area is changing and improving.

Negative

Negatives: Though Janakpuri is in the middle of West Delhi, its traffic during peak hours is a horror, and some of the internal service roads are obviously not looked after and, when it rains, they become a source of drainage problems. Security at night also appears somewhat lacking after the market closes down.

Positive

Positives: Having been an owner who has settled down in Janakpuri, I can vouch for this area being a treasure. The fact that the Blue and Magenta Metro lines are so close on hand is a saviour. Major institutes such as the Maharaja Surajmal Institute of Technology and Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital give our area valuable. And to add to it, the street markets always remain active.

Negative

Negatives: There are some areas require improvement. I think we lack more committed green belts and local parks as recreational space. Also, frequency and timeliness of the local bus service by the government need to be improved. I highly recommend Janakpuri to any prospective buyer, it's a superb, established location.

Positives: When I initially moved to Janakpuri, I enjoyed how convenient everything was. Easy commuting for buses and metro, and the roads were cleaned. Possangipur market had fresh produce and fruits available early in the morning. The schools and hospitals were accessible, and I enjoyed the cultural diversity and community centers around the place.

Negative

Negatives: However, the area had disadvantages. Traffic congestions were common, government buses were unreliable, and there were potholes on some roads. Autos and taxis at night were costly, green areas were scarce, and some places required improved street lighting. Generally, it's a vibrant area but could do better in traffic, frequency of transport, road quality, parking, public areas, and night safety.

To live in Janakpuri is to be in the center of a well planned city. I appreciate the proximity of the Janakpuri West Metro station and the nearby buses, which make commuting in and around Delhi very easy. The locality boasts great schools such as Great Mary Public School and numerous hospitals within walking distance, which is reassuring. Markets, restaurants, and shopping centers are all within reach, so daily essentials are easy to take care of. Roads are nicely laid, and the area is safe and vibrant. But peak hour traffic and sporadic potholes on Dharam Marg could be improved. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend Janakpuri for an even, convenient lifestyle.

Positives: Janakpuri is well connected by Blue and Magenta line metro, Najafgarh Road, and Outer Ring Road. The area is serviced by prominent schools St. Francis De Sales and Kendriya Vidyalaya, hospitals including J.K. Hospital and Genesis, and shopping malls and bazaars. The area is well lit, and roads are clean, while Buddha Jayanti Park is available for recreation.

Negative

Negatives: However, the rooms in flats are generally smaller, Dharam Marg has potholes, the government buses are not dependable, and Traffic congestion during peak hours is also a problem, especially near the metro & airport region. Dwellings have also been linked to water quality issues, such as instances of E. coli contamination in drinking water samples.

Positives: I have just shifted to Janakpuri and I find the tidy, well-organized blocks and friendly neighbors to be pleasant. I remain near the District Centre market, where food and shops are readily available, and green spaces like the DDA parks are suitable for evening strolls. Schools, clinics and malls are within a short ride. The metro interchange at Janakpuri West makes commuting convenient, and numerous buses link the place well.

Negative

Negatives: The sewer and the existing water lines should be thoroughly repaired to prevent contamination, park maintenance and trash collection should be more frequent, and finishing the underground cabling project would minimise power faults and naked wires. If these are addressed, Janakpuri would feel even safer and looked after.

Positive

Positives: I selected this area because of its excellent connectivity, and it has not been a disappointment. The various metro stations on the Blue and Magenta lines make travelling in and around Delhi extremely quick. It is a well-settled residential area with excellent infrastructure, such as easily accessible shopping complexes, numerous good hospitals, and the famous early morning vegetable market at Possangipur. The locality's vibrant nightlife.

Negative

Negatives: But then, some municipal services can certainly be improved in this posh colony. The government bus facilities are not frequent or reliable to the extent that they serve daily commuters. Secondly, some roads, such as the Dharam Marg, are still hounded by potholes. Finally, there is a need for the authorities to create more parks and green belts to enhance the overall environment of the region.

Positives: Living at Janakpuri was a wonderful experience. The area has great connectivity with three metro stations, such as Janakpuri West, East, and South. The place is well-planned with lots of parks such as the Janakpuri District Park and Dusshera Ground, giving lots of green spaces for leisure and amusement. Shopping and eating places are plenty, with shopping malls such as Pacific Mall and Unity One Mall within easy reach. The locality is full of life, with a diverse mixture of cultures and a sense of belonging. But there have been issues over water quality in some of the blocks, and some would be improved by better practices in waste management. These should otherwise be resolved to make the living experience even better in this excellent locality.

Positives: I adore the ease of residing in a well-developed West Delhi area. My apartment is near the Janakpuri West Metro, making travel within the city extremely convenient. There are great schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and bazaars nearby, making daily life easy. Broad roads, parks, and thoughtfully designed residential blocks increase convenience. Residential life is safe and convivial, and new developments are improving infrastructure. Property prices are affordable in comparison to central Delhi. For it to be even better, there should be enhanced traffic control and improved pedestrian routes for the residents. Overall, this area is a highly fulfilling and convenient place to reside.

Positives: It was the most practical decision to relocate to Janakpuri for work-life balance. I really love how perfectly my work trip is going, thanks to the fantastic Blue Line Metro connectivity; there's a station just nearby! And also, the place is so secure, and the enormous District Park is ideal for my evening strolls. I believe it's a green haven in the midst of concrete.

Negative

Negatives: But seriously, attempting to go to the District Centre at weekends drives me crazy. Parking is totally chaotic; one cannot get a spot. Secondly, the jam near the main crossing where the mall is can stretch a five-minute drive. And last month, there was a pipe burst along my block, revealing how awful the sewerage line work is near some inner colony roads.

Strengths: positives I shifted to this area for its proposed green pockets, and I like living here. As a renter, I prefer the Janakpuri West metro hub that facilitates traveling, the District Centre and Unity One mall for shopping, plenty of parks and a weekly bazaar, and schools and hospitals nearby that keep life easy. I really adore the warmth of the neighborhood and daily ease here. It's safe; community activities take place, and little conveniences are within reach.

Negative

Negatives: There is little parking around the market, occasional waterlogging in low-lying areas, lanes are congested with street hawkers in some places, and older properties require renovation. Nonetheless, I feel settled because low-cost housing and neighbourhood facilities provide me with a decent home in West Delhi.

Positives: I had stayed here for decades, and I recalled its well-planned layout and convenient living. I enjoyed the District Centre bazaars and tiny flea stalls, good schools and hospitals within reach, and the Janakpuri West metro interchange that made travelling convenient.

Negative

Negatives: But life there was not without issues. Drinking water had once tested positive for coliforms, frightening neighbours. Drainage was poor, and low spots flooded during heavy rain. Civic maintenance seemed uneven with bursting drains and sporadic clearing of garbage. Overhead electric wiring and old utilities also concerned many residents. In spite of that, I had warm recollections of friendly streets and plain market mornings.

Positives: I have selected this area years back and I still enjoy residing here. I am a male owner and I prefer the well-planned blocks, mini parks and lively markets. Janakpuri West has a big metro interchange (Blue & Magenta lines), hence I am able to access other areas of Delhi. There are shops, a mall, schools and clinics in the nearby district centre. Local RWAs function, and residents arrange small functions. It is safe and homely.

Negative

Negatives: But I notice three drawbacks. It includes aged water and sewer pipes have raised contamination concerns and necessitated repair work in some blocks; rubbish collection is patchy in market pockets; drains and footpaths should be better maintained. Even so, I feel grounded with parks and neighbours who keep me proud.

Have you stayed in Delhi and not shopped at Janakpuri? You will have a blast buying the affordable jewellery, home products, handicrafts, and a lot more. We love visiting the District Centre, which is the central shopping hub, and also the lovely Crafts Bazaar. There’s a lot of bustling activity happening in the neighbourhood. You’ll also find the ORR nearby, along with the Pankha Road, and the easily accessible metro stations on the eastern and western sides. So, if you’re looking for a more active lifestyle, this is the place to be. The only complaint from my side is the waterlogging at the time of the monsoon.

I have always found Janakpuri to be a pretty hip locality. We could easily get everywhere through the Outer Ring Road and other roads. Metro connectivity was always here in both the eastern and western parts of the area, and there was always some infrastructure upgrade or the other happening here. The greenery was good enough, and plenty of nearby restaurants for delicious Kachoris/Pooris and even Kebabs. Amenities were always good, and there were quite a few affordable shopping options to check out as well.

Negative

Waterlogging was always an issue in Janakpuri, and the power supply used to go off randomly in the summers. These were the two things that would bug us.

Dinesh
Former resident

Positives: I lived in Powai for a year, and there were lots of things I liked very much. It became home. The lake and greenery around it provided me with calmness when city life became chaotic. Connectivity was a major advantage: JVLR roads, LBS Marg, and bus routes ensured that it was quite easy to reach work, IIT Bombay or the malls. Additionally, I enjoyed the schools and well hospital facilities such as Dr L.H. Hiranandani Hospital. Negatives: On the negative side, rent and property charges were high, particularly in Hiranandani. Traffic became extremely bad in peak hours, so even small distances consumed a lot of time. Noise and air pollution near busy roads irked me frequently. Also, at times, the cleanliness of the lake deteriorated, such as when hyacinth flowers, litter, and sometimes foul odours marred the view.

Positives: I am thoroughly liking the quiet, disciplined ambiance of the blocks and colonies; it's very verdant. What I like most is the superb connectivity. It has several Metro stops (such as Janakpuri West) so close and the shopping District Centre is extremely convenient. It's certainly a high-end area with excellent community facilities. Negatives: My four primary irritations are common to Delhi, though. Road congestion and bad driving are awful in peak hours, particularly close to the major intersections. Parking is an absolute nightmare, and there's usually inconsistency of the piped water supply in the older, inner lanes. Additionally, the air quality in the winter months is seriously of concern and impacts my health.

Positives: This is a well established area in South West Delhi, providing a mix of residential convenience and city amenities. The locality is well connected through the metro lines, ensuring convenient commuting. The presence of the Janakpuri District Centre also enhances its appeal, offering the facility for shopping, eating, and entertainment. Further, the locality is rich in parks and green areas, which add to the living experience. Negatives: Residences have been associated with water quality problems, including reports of E. coli contamination in drinking water samples. Traffic congestion at rush hours is also an issue, particularly around the metro stations and major roads. All these can influence the general quality of life of future residents.

Positives: I appreciate the well-planned structure, the crowded District Centre retail and street markets, convenient metro connectivity at Janakpuri West, accessible hospitals and schools in the vicinity, and plenty of DDA parks for early morning strolls. Local buses and good road connectivity make travelling through Delhi easy, and my family loves the local atmosphere. As a contented owner, I suggest Janakpuri to families seeking city convenience along with local warmth. It actually feels like home to us, and neighbours are always friendly as well. Negatives: I see some downsides, such as congested traffic at peak times and scarce parking around the District Centre that can irk visitors and dwellers. Otherwise safety feels nice, maintenance is good and festivals introduce vibrant culture.

Positives: The good things about the locality include how it is extremely well-connected to several parts of Delhi through the Pankha Road and Outer Ring Road. We also get two metro stations here, including the Janakpuri East and West, covering the Blue Line and Magenta Line interchange. The upcoming Magenta Line extension to RK Ashram Marg and the Delhi-Alwar RRTS line will make this a better place in terms of connectivity. Lots of green spaces and basic amenities in the place as well. Negatives: The only thing I don’t like is how it gets waterlogged during the monsoon. Also, another issue is the power cuts in the peak summer season.

Positives: I enjoyed the area Janakpuri had excellent metro connectivity, and Najafgarh Road, Pankha Road made it quite convenient to travel to other areas in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida. It had plenty of schools, hospitals, shopping malls, parks near District Centre, Unity One Mall, numerous markets, and Buddha Jayanti Park was pleasant for evening strolls. Negatives: The thing that irritated me was that most of the flats had smaller rooms. Traffic to the airport or farther distances got extremely bad during rush hour. The water supply was not always clean, and sewer/water pipes being extremely old. Also, during monsoon most of the streets, particularly C-block, faced waterlogging due to weak drainage.

Bikram
Tenant

Positives: I selected Janakpuri precisely due to the excellent transit, and that alone deserves a 4-star rating. Having more than one Metro stop close by, such as Janakpuri West (Blue and Magenta lines), is a godsend for going to Noida or CP. It's a well-settled area and secure at night, with clean, well-lit roads and all you need within walking distance. It has wonderful markets, Malls, and parks such as Buddha Jayanti. Negatives: But being a resident, I see the aging infrastructure. Older DDA flats and builder floors have smaller sizes of rooms compared to newer complexes. The inner roads, especially Dharam Marg, badly need repair since they are full of potholes. The government bus transport is also fairly unreliable, and going to the airport means heavy traffic jams.

Positives: The area is like a crowded, well-networked neighborhood. I have a house here and I find the good metro connectivity (Janakpuri West interchange on Blue and Magenta lines), frequent buses and plenty of local markets. The District Centre market, malls and weekly bazaars provide easy shopping, and schools, clinics and cinemas are just near, so life is convenient. Negatives: Principal roads become congested during peak hours, and parking is usually a challenge. Some areas feel noisy and congested around markets and cinema complexes. During intense monsoon periods, a couple of lanes experience waterlogging and drainage problems. Still, the transport connectivity, retail choices and consistent property demand make it a functional place to have a home.

Raj
Owner

Positives: Residing in Janakpuri has proven to be an excellent choice for my family and me, and as an owner, I've witnessed the value of our property progressively rise—it's honestly a sound investment in West Delhi. The connectivity here is phenomenal; the metro connectivity (Blue and Magenta Lines) connects us perfectly to major workspaces and central Delhi. Additionally, the community atmosphere is beautiful. We have so many parks in nice condition, good schools, and diversity here. It makes errands or getting a night out on the town absolutely easy. Negatives: Admittedly, it's true that some of the older DDA buildings may not have super-trendy amenities, but it's a tiny trade-off for the established infrastructure and convenience of being there overall.

Positives: I have been living in Janakpuri for a while now, and it is very convenient. The metro and bus facility makes traveling a cakewalk every day, and it's very well connected to Gurgaon, Connaught Place, and even Noida. Markets and shopping complexes are ubiquitous, along with schools and hospitals such as Mata Chanan Devi Hospital being easily accessible. Parks and community areas make the area lively and family-oriented. Negatives: However, it has its drawbacks. Government buses are not regular enough, and some roads such as Dharam Marg are potholed. Rental here is a bit higher for tenants, and some stretches become congested, particularly in the vicinity of the markets. Traveling to the airport is time-consuming during peak hours. To me, Janakpuri would be deserving of a three-star rating.

Former resident

Positives: Since I have lived in Janakpuri before, I feel it's a very well-planned area in West Delhi. There is excellent connectivity, and the metro provides easy accessibility around the city. I recall the wide, clean roads and good street lighting at night, making me feel secure. There were lots of nice parks to walk around, and being able to have Unity One and the District Centre within walking distance meant I never lacked for shopping or eating out. Negatives All the same, I did experience a few problems. The parking could be atrocious, particularly in the inner residential blocks. Further, although the water and power were normally all right, there were sometimes issues with water contamination due to antiquated pipes. The popularity of the area also saw it becoming very congested and noisy at times.

Positives: The biggest advantage of Janakpuri is that it is well-connected. We have several metro stations on the Blue and Magenta lines here, so traveling to any part of Delhi is convenient. The area is also well-designed, with some DDA flats and independent homes, and the broad roads and sidewalks make it convenient to move around. We have it all within reach, from the renowned District Centre for your every shopping requirement to plenty of open spaces and top schools. It's a very self-contained area with good civic facilities and a residential atmosphere safe to boot. Negatives: I have a single problem within this area, which is waterlogging during monsoons.

Positives: From my experience, Janakpuri is one of the best planned colonies in West Delhi. The area is super connected, especially with the Blue Line metro. It makes commuting a breeze to almost anywhere in the city. The residents of this locality got everything nearby, from big malls like Unity One and District Centre to smaller, convenient local markets, plus excellent hospitals and schools. It is an established, safe, and family-friendly place to settle down. Negatives: The one real disadvantage I have found is the parking. Getting a spot on the street can be a challenge, particularly in the inner residential blocks.

It is extremely safe and secure, a big plus. Negatives: The only thing I would improve is the parking. Getting a space, particularly for a second vehicle, is often such a hassle, so that is one thing I hope can be handled better.

Schools (Kendriya Vidyalaya, The Lawrence) and hospitals (J K Hospital, Genesis) are near. Markets, malls and Buddha Jayanti Park are around the corner; streets are clean and have night lights.

Also, the roads are clean, and we receive a consistent supply of water and electricity. Negatives: The government buses are very crowded and unreliable, which is negative. Furthermore, it takes a long time to get to the airport due to traffic. Auto rides during nighttime can also be quite pricey.
