Ratings & Reviews of Vasant Vihar, Delhi

Positive

I really appreciate the unmatched quality of life here. Ten minutes of travel from the IGI Airport and is very near, the Magenta Line Metro station enables regular travel very simple. Large bungalows and builder floors make for an impeccably kept neighbourhood, and social life is strong because of the premium Basant Lok Market and great schools such Modern School nearby. The main benefit is the security and quiet. Still, because the area is so attractive and the homes are upscale, rental costs are inevitably very high and superior management of car parking In some market zones, daily access could be much better.

Positive

One of South Delhi's most opulent and secure areas, Vasant Vihar is a great option for discerning consumers looking for luxury and diplomatic closeness. Its main benefit is the availability of great, independent builder floors and bungalows, aimed at a premium population. With quick access to IGI Airport and major educational establishments like JNU as well as the Vasant Vihar Metro Station on the Magenta Line, the connectivity is great. Diplomatic and highly secure status cause constant demand in this region, which guarantees great rental returns and investment growth. Though the neighborhood has premium facilities, the restricted internal roads and great population density sometimes call for upkeep of street cleanliness beyond the central blocks. For a quiet yet linked South Delhi lifestyle, this is the best address.

Positive

Positive: Living in Vasant Vihar is really great experience. Because of all the nearby diplomatic embassies. I enjoy the quiet upscale ambiance and the superb security we have. Having the Magenta Line metro stop right here is a tremendous advantage. The link is excellent, and seven kilometers gets us easily to the airport. We also have fantastic eating and retail alternatives close by, including DLF Promenade and Basant Lok Market.

Negative

Negative: It frequently becomes extremely crowded because of the great volume of diplomatic and economic traffic, therefore more traffic control is required. Furthermore, some regions of the area become waterlogged and sewage disposal is challenging during strong downpours, thus enhancing the drainage system would really help.

Positive

Positive: I picked Vasant Vihar for its posh, safe location close to the diplomatic area in South Delhi. The locale was extremely green with direct connectivity through the Magenta Line metro. Excellent schools such as Modern School and DPS were close by, and Holy Angels Hospital was also excellent in providing medical care. Being pricey, the planned luxury setting made living extremely convenient.

Negative

Negative: One of the major issues was recurring water logging during monsoons. The drainage mechanism was usually strained. Also, to find dependable parking was tricky because of the tight inner lanes. In spite of these hassles, the experience of premium living was very memorable in South Delhi.

Positive

Positives: I like this locality with the quick access to the airport, and the Magenta Metro Line stop nearby is a major advantage. The best part is the serene atmosphere and the top-notch schools such as Modern School. It's very costly to live here, but I am content because I receive world-class safety and social infrastructure in the form of hospitals nearby.

Negative

Negatives: What I find disconcerting is the intense traffic congestion and jamming, particularly near the Basant Lok Market and major roads. The roads periodically demonstrate signs of deterioration or potholes. I wish desperately that the local body would take up road upkeep and monitor the parking of commercial vehicles to de-congest the traffic at once.

Positive

Positives: I totally adore Vasant Vihar it's special owing to the lovely low-density residential areas and constant, top-level security owing to all the embassies. The Magenta Line metro so nearby. Wide tree-lined boulevards make everything easy. I always feel totally secure here, and the peaceful, green streets are my most favourite aspect of this high-end locality.

Negative

Negatives: The only thing that really annoys me is the heavy traffic and parking mayhem near Basant Lok market, particularly post-work. The open drainage conditions within the market area which really require immediate attention in order to check mosquitoes. I also really dislike the fact that the maintenance of certain internal feeder roads is really bad and needs to be improved.

Positive

Vasant Vihar is a posh and prime location to stay in New Delhi. I was fortunate to have grown up here and still stay here with my extended family. The roads are wide, there are lots of trees, and there is a lot of security, since many VVIPs and bureaucrats stay in the locality. It takes me only 20 minutes or so to reach the airport, while IIT, JNU, and other top institutions are also situated in the vicinity. Shopping, recreation, dining, whatever you want, is available in the nearby Basant Lok market. It’s the coolest place to hang out in South Delhi.

Negative

The only issue I have is the traffic. It gest unbearable at times.

Positive

Full marks to Vasant Vihar from my end, at least! It’s that classic South Delhi vibe that you get here! Very clean and green- that’s the tagline that I will use to define the locality. Chanakyapuri is very close to the area, along with the embassies and foreign consulates. It’s that kind of high-security neighborhood, where so many Government officers and top business tycoons stay. Thankfully, my child has got into JNU, which is very near to the neighbourhood as well. Yes, there is some air and noise pollution these days due to more vehicles, but the rest is absolutely fantastic.

Positive

Vasant Vihar is one of the poshest localities in Delhi. Period. I grew up here, and once I realized how some of India’s top bureaucrats, politicians, businessmen, and celebrities have homes here, I just flipped out! I never thought of it that way, but here we are! Airport access is excellent, with an average journey taking about 20-25 minutes, while IIT, JNU, and many other reputed institutions are also nearby. Then there’s the greenery- loads of it all around, while Basant Lok market is our hangout for shopping, dining, movies, and recreation. Yes, property prices are costly, but it guarantees you a lot of exclusivity and safety. Traffic congestion and noise pollution are two things that can be improved in this neighborhood.

Positive

Positives: I have to say that living in Vasant Vihar is a luxury and peaceful experience. I feel very secure here. The area is well-manicured with ample green spaces and parks within each block. Being close to the Magenta Metro Line and the IGI Airport makes it great, and it gets high-class renters who like this unbeatable mix of connectivity and high-end living.

Negative

Negatives: I noticed that it is almost impossible to find an affordable lease as living costs are very high. I believe the traffic jam along major market areas such as Basant Lok is a daily challenge. I believe that, with all its status, some of the roads in internal colonies have visible signs of slight deterioration and need to be improved.

Positive

Vasant Vihar was my childhood dream, since one of my best friends used to stay here. I dreamt of staying here one day, and could fulfill my dream some years back, after I achieved some measure of success, by the grace of the Lord. What attracted me was the huge safety quotient of the locality, particularly since so many Government officers and bureaucrats live here. Many corporate biggies are also present in the neighbourhood, which means better planning, much improved roads, lots of greenery, and great amenities in terms of education, healthcare, shopping, etc. My only concern is the huge crowds during the peak morning and evening hours.

Positive

It's a complete privilege to work and live in Vasant Vihar. This is Delhi's finest diplomatic and residential enclave, providing an unmatched luxury lifestyle that my clients love. The special plus here is the great greenery, each block is like a peaceful, well-designed park, and we have excellent schools such as Modern School, here. Connectivity is quick through the Magenta Metro Line, and we are merely seven kilometres from IGI Airport, which is perfect for regular flyers. Although the neighbourhood is extremely secure and has upscale shopping at DLF Promenade, among other things, the biggest disadvantage is that housing is very unaffordable, one of the most pricey pin codes in Delhi, and parking is a serious issue because of the density of huge independent homes.

Positive

Vasant Vihar is one of the most posh localities in Delhi, make no mistake about it! The property costs are really high here, and that’s what makes it so exclusive. Plenty of Government officers (all high ranking) live here, along with VVIPs, businessmen, tycoons, etc. I like the greenery in the area, and the planned layout, along with the lovely roads to take walks every morning or evening. Safety levels are good, most probably due to VIP and diplomat movement here, while there are top institutions nearby, including JNU, DU, and IIT. Hospitals and civic amenities are top-class, while there are plenty of dining and shopping options at the Basant Lok market and Priya Complex. The only drawback is the peak-hour traffic.

Positive

For twenty years, Vasant Vihar has been the epitome of tranquility and luxury. The well established green cover and expansive bungalows throughout the blocks provide a peaceful, safe setting unequalled in Delhi due to our diplomatic enclave status. We enjoy world class social life and trade at Basant Lok and DLF Promenade, and connectivity is just right with the Magenta Metro line here and the airport merely seven kilometers away. It is really a commanding, favored position. The only single area that has to be better to sustain our good quality of life is committed traffic and congestion control, especially around the favorite Basant Lok market area.

Positive

If you can afford it, Vasant Vihar is one of the best places to stay in Delhi. Period. I miss staying here, since I had to move cities for my work commitments. You can easily find tree-lined streets and that classic Delhi vibe, with the mansions and several luxury buildings. The Vasant Vihar metro station is easily accessible from the locality, while there are several major roads here. Another advantage is that the IGI Airport is just 10-15 minutes away from this prime locality. Social infrastructure-wise, there is the Basant Lok Complex nearby, along with several restaurants, cafes, retail stores, and more. Reputed educational institutions like JNU and IIT are also nearby, along with leading hospitals. I think the only gripe that I possibly have is that the area is too costly, with limited land availability for new development.

Positive

Having lived here since childhood, I can safely say that it is one of the most prestigious localities in Delhi. One plus point is that the electricity and water supply are stable, and also the security and policing are excellent too. This is because many high-ranking Government officials stay here, along with leading business families, and high-net-worth individuals. Greenery is abundantly available in the neighbourhood, with many local parks, and many embassies are also present here, including the South African High Commission, the Embassy of Argentina, and more. It’s that kind of a prestigious locality. While I don’t live here now, I keep hearing about the increasing traffic congestion and pollution.

Positive

Positives: I've been a tenant here. Vasant Vihar is an actual green oasis in the midst of South Delhi, with parks in each block. The location of all the embassies makes it unbelievably secure and provides it with a professional, upscale vibe. Metro connectivity via the Magenta Line is a godsend, and you can hop off to the airport easily for work travel.

Negative

Negatives: Even with being a high-end area, there are issues that require immediate repair. The biggest annoyance is the constant traffic jam, particularly around Basant Lok. The dilapidated road condition and miserable water logging/sewage disposal during monsoons are shameful. They simply need to overhaul the drainage system, improve the main roads, and better manage traffic movement.

Positive

Positives: My long term ownership experience in Vasant Vihar has been amazing. The area's high end charm arises from its big, lovely bungalows, amazing airport proximity, and excellent social infrastructure. We are blessed with prime shopping malls like DLF Promenade and Emporia in the vicinity, and best schools like Modern School and Delhi Public School.

Negative

Negatives: Yet some municipal things can be better to keep our area up to standard. We more often than not grapple with matters related to the internal block roads, and at times, the neighborhood has problems with water logging and sewage disposal during the monsoon season. Further, improved lighting of the community parks in the evening would improve security and accessibility by families.
