East Delhi, New Delhi: property prices, projects and homes

Where East Delhi is and how it is laid out

East Delhi sits on the eastern bank of the Yamuna. New projects in East Delhi are bounded by the river on the west, Ghaziabad on the east and Noida (Gautam Buddha Nagar) to the south. The district has three subdivisions: Gandhi Nagar, Preet Vihar and Mayur Vihar. The 2011 census counted about 1.7 million people on roughly 64 sq km, so it is dense.

District boundaries have changed. Some sources now place Karkardooma and Vivek Vihar in Shahdara district. Check the official district before you rely on a listing's label.

Mayur Vihar began in 1979–80 as planned housing in three phases. Phase I has DDA flats in Pockets I–V, plus cooperative society buildings. Karkardooma has the district courts, and the Patparganj industrial area is a nearby employment base.

On ADiHomes as of October 2026, there are 47 live projects in East Delhi, and all 47 are ready to move. You can browse them under flats for sale in East Delhi. Our Mayur Vihar Phase 1 guide, Karkardooma guide and Patparganj guide cover the sub-areas.

Connectivity

Roads

The DND Flyway is an 8-lane, 7.5 km access-controlled road toward Noida. The Delhi–Meerut Expressway, 96 km long, starts at Nizamuddin Bridge and has a junction at Akshardham. Anand Vihar ISBT handles interstate buses.

Metro and rail

• Mayur Vihar-I: Blue and Pink Line interchange, within walking distance of Pockets I and IV. Its Pink Line platforms are 22 m up.
• Mayur Vihar Pocket-1 (Shree Ram Mandir Mayur Vihar): Pink Line, opened 31 December 2018.
• Mayur Vihar Extension: Blue Line, south of Mayur Vihar-I.
• Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake and East Vinod Nagar–Mayur Vihar II: Pink Line, both opened 31 October 2018.
• Anand Vihar: Blue and Pink Line interchange, joined to the ISBT and the Anand Vihar Terminal railway station.
• Karkarduma: Blue and Pink Line interchange.

I could not source walking distances from each housing society to these stations. Measure from the exact address. One listing puts East Vinod Nagar about 1–1.5 km from Max Hospital Patparganj, and Anand Vihar about 2–4 km away. Sources differ.

Airport

Hospital listings put Indira Gandhi International Airport roughly 25–27 km from Patparganj. They quote 45–60 minutes by car, which varies with traffic.

Schools, hospitals and shopping

Hospitals: Max Super Speciality Hospital, IP Extension, Patparganj, is a 400+ bed hospital. Other East Delhi hospitals listed include Pushpanjali, Makkar Super Speciality (Khureji Road), Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital (Khichripur) and IHBAS. Kukreja Hospital and Jeevan Anmol Hospital are near Mayur Vihar Pocket-1 station.

Shopping: The Pocket 3 market is near Pocket-1 station. Malls listed for the area include Pacific Mall, Cross River Mall and V3S Mall. East Delhi Mall is at Kaushambi, Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh), about 1.4 miles from Max Patparganj by one listing.

Schools: St. John's Model School is near Pocket-1 station. I could not verify a wider school list or distances. Check board affiliation and the route to each school yourself.

Civic matters to check

• Flooding: In late August and early September 2025 the Yamuna rose above 207 m. Relief camps were set up at Mayur Vihar Phase I, and officials named East and Shahdara among flood-prone districts. In 2023 the river reached 208.66 m. Ask residents about waterlogging at the specific block.
• Water and power: I found no reliable current data. Ask the society for recent Delhi Jal Board water bills, pressure and supply hours, and for the electricity meter and load details.
• Approvals and title: Mayur Vihar's municipal body is the MCD, and housing there includes DDA and cooperative society buildings. Ask for the lease or conveyance deed, the society's NOC and transfer documents, and whether the society has any dues.
• Litigation and stalled projects: My searches found none, but that does not prove there are none. Run a court-records search on the seller and the society before you pay.

Infrastructure underway or planned

• Pink Line extension: A secondary source reports that the Majlis Park–Maujpur Babarpur section opened on 8 March 2026. Confirm with DMRC.
• Namo Bharat (Delhi–Meerut RRTS): Wikipedia lists the underground Anand Vihar station as operational since 5 January 2025. Confirm current services with NCRTC.

I could not confirm other East Delhi projects with dates, so I have left them out.

Who it suits

East Delhi suits buyers who want a metro-linked, established neighbourhood close to Noida and Ghaziabad. All 47 ADiHomes projects here are ready to move, so you can see the flat before you decide. Examples are Sahyog Apartments in Mayur Vihar Phase 1 and Puja Apartment in Patparganj. ADiHomes does not endorse any builder or society.

Things to check before buying

• Walk from the flat to the nearest metro station at peak hour.
• Check the ownership chain, lease terms and transfer rules.
• Ask about flood history on that street and the parking arrangements.
• Inspect water supply, lifts, wiring and building condition in person.
• Get the price from the listing and negotiate on the documents, not on area averages.
