Write a Review

Living in Defence Colony has been a good experience for me. The main market is close to my place. There are amazing cafes, bars, and restaurants. My office in Central Delhi is a quick drive away. Lajpat Nagar Metro station on the Pink & Violet lines connects the area well.

It's a prime, central location. The demand for modern, well-located floors is always high from professionals and expats.

As a lawyer, I find that the location is unbeatable. The Delhi High Court and Supreme Court are just a short drive away. The residential lanes are surprisingly quiet, which is great for working from home.

Defence Colony market is a go-to place for anyone looking for dining. The club activities and social gatherings make it a very lively

We chose Defence Colony for its safety and greenery. The wide and tree-lined streets are perfect for walks. There are well-maintained parks. Proximity to the Dr. Radhakrishnan International School and other international schools is a huge plus.
