Should You Consider L&T Aravista in Sector 86, Gurgaon?

Thinking about L&T Aravista, the upcoming residential project in Sector 86, New Gurgaon? Here is a balanced look at whether it belongs on your shortlist.
What works in its favour
The main draw is space. The 20-acre site is planned so that more than 80% stays open, with about 10 acres of central greens and a 5-acre water body at its heart. That is uncommon for a city residence of this scale.
Connectivity is a strong point. Dwarka Expressway is about 3 km away, NH-48 about 5 km and the Southern Peripheral Road about 2 km. Upcoming works include a metro line from Sector 56 to Pachgaon, with a station expected in Sector 86, and the HUDA City Centre to Cyber City metro corridor. Schools and hospitals sit within roughly 1.5 to 3 km, and employment hubs such as IMT Manesar and DLF Cyber Park in Sector 62 are within 9 to 13 km.
The homes and amenities are generous on paper:
- A clubhouse of about 1.25 lakh sq ft with a swimming pool, gymnasium, spa and lounge
- Tennis, badminton and squash courts, plus a jogging and cycling track
- A children's play zone and café
- Three basement levels, seven lifts and only four homes sharing each core
- Italian marble in living and dining areas, a modular kitchen and 24/7 CCTV
What to check before you decide
- Approvals: Confirm the project's RERA registration and sanctioned plans with the relevant state authority before committing.
- Phase and towers: The project is upcoming, with Phase 1 pricing and three launch towers fixed. Ask which tower your unit falls in, and when the 5 BHK homes planned for a later phase will launch.
- Payment plan: The booking amount is ₹10 Lakh with KYC. Get the full instalment schedule in writing, linked to construction milestones.
- Possession timeline: Ask for a committed date and the terms that apply if it slips.
- Carpet versus super area: The quoted ranges (2,500 to 2,730 sq ft for 3 BHK and 3,490 to 4,045 sq ft for 4 BHK) should be checked for the area type, since that changes the real price per sq ft.
- Infrastructure timing: Metro and expressway projects are planned, not finished. Treat them as upside until construction is visible on the ground.
Once you have the basics, compare the L&T Aravista price and floor plans against similar 3 and 4 BHK options nearby, and review the L&T Aravista location details before you shortlist it.
Verdict: L&T Aravista suits buyers who value open space and a planned community, and who can wait for a phase-one launch with a long-term view. It is less suited to anyone who needs possession soon.
