DDA flats in Rohini are cheaper than the society flats. Their rates are in the range of Rs 3,200-3,700 per sq ft. In late 2006, the rates were around Rs 2,800 to 3,500 per sq ft.
But if you can afford one, opt for a society apartment.

These have better-quality construction, are better maintained, offer more open areas compared to DDA flats, and have better security arrangements. The premium complexes, there are about a dozen in Rohini, are equipped with lifts and have power backup.

Sectors 9, 13, 14, and Prashant Vihar command the highest price in Rohini. They are better development and are closer to Metro stations of Rohini East, Rohini West, and Rithala.
The construction quality of a DDA apartment is usually poorer than society apartments, so you may have to spend a substantial amount before you can start living in one.

Low-budget options are available in the upcoming sectors 25 to 30. These sectors are at a considerable distance from the Metro line. Sector 30 has mostly got independent plots.

Preferred rental destination
Of late, this area has been catering to a large number of people and working executives. Over the last two years, rentals have risen by 20-24%.

Rental of shops ranges from Rs 60-100 per sq ft per month. In malls, it is as high as Rs 150-200 per sq ft per month, therefore demand for shops on rent is very high.

Full of amenities
In past two years PVR Cinema and several malls have opened up in Rohini. Some of the important developers who have malls here are M2K, Parsvnath, Unitech, and Pawa Builders. The Adventure Island and mall in sector 10 are another big attraction. They are both near the Rithala Metro station and have been developed by Unitech.

Suresh Sharma of Banwari Lal Properties says, "People who live in Rohini sectors have several options for schools and colleges. Various shopping centres and local markets fulfil their day-to-day needs. For medical needs they can go to Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital, Ambedkar Hospital, Saroj Hospital, Jaipur Golden Hospital, and Mahavir Hospital.

Roads inside the colonies are wide. There is no water shortage, as the Haiderpur water treatment plant is situated nearby. Electricity supply these days is good, as compared to the rest of Delhi.
There are many reputed schools nearby, such as: DPS, Bal Bharti, Apeejay, Ryan, CRPS, Lancer Convent, and Rukmani Devi.

For those keen on sports, sector 14 has a sports complex. Sector 9 has a large district park, and sector 12 has the Swarna Jayanti Park (also called Japanese Park).

If you wish to buy an apartment in Rohini, you should look for a society flat. If you are looking for a rented accommodation, you should look for one in the prime sectors as there is very little difference in rates between DDA flats and society flats.
