- Whether the basement is sanctioned as habitable or only as storage

Schools and daily life
Vasant Vihar is close to several of Delhi's best-known international and private schools, which is a major draw for expatriate and returning-NRI families. Basant Lok and Priya markets cover daily shopping, and the malls at Vasant Kunj are a short drive away.
Who buys here
- Senior executives and business families who want space and privacy
- Investors who lease to embassies and multinational companies

Price per square foot
Because plots are large and floors are big, the price per square foot in Vasant Vihar is often lower than you might expect for a Category A colony. Compare floors on the cost per square foot of built-up area as well as on the headline price.
Before you sign
- Check the sanctioned plan, especially basement use and terrace coverage.
- Confirm parking: embassy tenants usually want three or more slots.
- Verify the power-backup capacity and water storage.
