Cyber City, located in Gurugram, is a significant IT and business hub housing multinational offices, tech parks, and the famous Cyber Hub — a dining, entertainment and retail destination.
Because of this, many professionals want to live close — so they can minimize long commutes and enjoy convenience in daily life. The rapid metro station at Cyber City connects to other parts of Gurgaon.
At the same time, the stretch along NH-8 (now part of the extended NH-48 corridor) has emerged as a powerful real estate belt.
Flats along NH-8 in Gurgaon currently trade in the ₹10,200-₹22,000 per sq ft range. That wide range shows how even within the corridor, luxury and mid-tier options co-exist.
Day-To-Day: the Good Bits & The Challenges
Advantages:
- Shorter commute: If your office is in Cyber City or nearby IT parks, living along NH-8 or in adjacent localities (Sector 54, Sector 56, Sushant Lok) drastically reduces travel time.
- Amenities at hand: You get malls, cafes, hospitals, schools and retail close by. Cyber Hub, for example, is a hub for food & entertainment.
- Higher rental demand: Due to the office density, rental yields tend to be strong. For instance, 3 BHK apartments in DLF Cyber City can be rented for ₹60,000–₹80,000+, depending on size and fit-out.
Challenges:
- Traffic & congestion: NH-8 is heavily used. Intersections such as Shankar Chowk often see jams, and even new lane and U-turn modifications are struggling to keep up.
- Noise & pollution: Living close to a major highway means exposure to noise, dust, and vehicle pollution — especially for flats facing the highway.
- Premium costs & maintenance: Because of the prestige and demand, property prices and maintenance charges here are higher. Also, parking premiums and common area charges tend to be steep.
- Infrastructure delays: Some road widening and junction upgrades for NH-8 have been delayed. For example, work on a 2.2 km stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bhardwaj Chowk has only recently begun after years of delay.
Lifestyles by Locality: Where You Could Reside
If you live in Sector 54, 56, DLF Phase II / Phase IV, Sushant Lok, you are close enough to enjoy the Cyber City perks but perhaps a bit shielded from direct highway exposure.
Some new projects in sectors along NH-8 (beyond Kherki Daula) also promise the balance of connectivity and quieter interiors.
Developers in these zones are launching both mid-segment and luxury towers. The advantage is that you might find a newer project with modern design, better amenities, and slightly lower prices than prime Cyber City edge towers.
Investment & Future Outlook
Gurgaon real estate in prime corridors is expected to appreciate by 15–18% in 2025. With infrastructure projects such as improved road links, junction upgrades, and metro expansions in the pipeline, areas near NH-8 and Cyber City remain in demand.
However, some forecasts expect price stabilisation or slower growth after a long recovery. So entry timing, developer choice, and legal diligence matter a lot.
Emaar Serenity Hills
Emaar Serenity Hills is a luxury gated township along the NH-8 corridor in Gurgaon, targeted at those who want upscale living with space and connectivity.
Emaar Serenity Hills Gurgaon offers well-designed 3- and 4-BHK apartments, built to cater to families and discerning buyers seeking a blend of comfort and prestige.
What truly stands out is its land use — 70% of the 25 acres is dedicated to landscaped lawns and open areas, giving it a very calm, low-density feel compared to crowded sectors.
The project comprises seven high-rise towers, each with a G+30 structure, totalling over 900 residential units.
The large-scale luxury is balanced—a massive 1 lakh sq ft clubhouse anchors the project, offering fitness, recreation, social spaces, and wellness facilities that align with a modern, 5-star living vision.
Every tower at Serenity Hills by Emaar India is intended to deliver high standards of finishes, smart home support, and designer touches.
In terms of connectivity, Emaar Serenity Hills NH 8 claims to offer the fastest access to NH-48, Sohna Road, and Golf Course Extension Road, making it strategic for both work and leisure routes.
This development is located within 5 minutes of Dwarka Expressway, 10 minutes of NH-48, and 20 minutes of the IGI Airport (via efficient road links). This means that while you enjoy the tranquillity inside the project, travel to key hubs remains quick.
Amenities include all the latest lifestyle features: landscaped gardens, swimming pools, party lawns, indoor sports, community halls, smart security, jogging tracks, and more — built for a “new-age living experience.”
Overall, Serenity Hills Gurgaon positions itself as a premium alternative in the NH-8 corridor, offering a rare balance of open space, scale, connectivity and luxury.
Final Verdict: What Living Here Really Feels Like
Living near Cyber City and NH-8 brings you closer to the pulse of Gurgaon — the offices, the malls, the connectivity. But it also demands tradeoffs: noise, congestion, premium costs.
If you prioritise time saved and lifestyle convenience, this stretch is hard to beat. But ensure you pick a well-planned tower with good sound insulation, buffer greens, and reliable infrastructure. And always check if the project has legal clearances, promised amenities, and realistic maintenance fees.
