Senior living in Gurugram has become mainstream. DLF Arbour Senior Living in Sector 63 and Max Antara Estate 361 in Sector 36A (Dwarka Expressway) are two leading projects. Both are ultra-premium, though each appeals to distinct buyer profiles.

This comparison covers location, product offerings, developer reputation, pricing, amenities, exit liquidity, and NRI suitability to help you determine which project best aligns with your family’s legacy and financial objectives.

1. Location & Connectivity – The Deciding Factor for Many NRIs

DLF Arbour Senior Living – Sector 63

Micro-market: Golf Course Extension Road extension (Sohna Road side)
Distance from signature landmarks: – Medanta Hospital – 12–14 min – Huda City Centre Metro – 18–20 min – IGI Airport – 35–40 min
Surroundings: Established residential catchment (Golf Course Extension Road, Nirvana Country, Sector 50–65 belt), mature social infrastructure.

Max Antara Estate 361 – Sector 36A

Micro-market: Dwarka Expressway (CPR link)
Distance from signature landmarks: – Medanta / Fortis – 18–22 min – IGI Airport – 25–30 min (via fully operational Dwarka Expressway) – Upcoming Global City & Cyber City 2 – 5–10 min
Surroundings: Emerging high-growth corridor with massive future upside now unlocked by the completed expressway.

Max Antara Gurgaon Senior Living

Verdict: DLF Arbour Senior Living wins on today’s proven lifestyle ecosystem and shorter drive to existing top hospitals. Max Antara Estate 361 now wins decisively on airport connectivity (25–30 min) and future capital appreciation — the complete opening of Dwarka Expressway has transformed this corridor into a genuine high-speed link to Delhi and the airport.

2. Product & Unit Mix – Space & Privacy

DLF Arbour Senior Living

Unit mix: 4 BHK + Servant (≈4,000 sq ft)
Towers: 1 tower, 45 floors, 176 units total
Density: Low density (176 units in a single tower in 5 acres)
Design philosophy: DLF’s signature large balconies, high ceilings, and natural light focus

Max Antara Estate 361

Unit mix: – 2.5 BHK ≈ 2,200 sq ft
3 BHK ≈ 2,500 sq ft
4 BHK ≈ 3,200 sq ft
Towers: 2 towers – Likely 45 floors (tallest in the segment)
Density: Lower effective density due to larger average unit size and fewer units per tower in 18 acres
Design philosophy: Max Estates’ “wellness-first” approach + larger private outdoor spaces

Verdict: Max Antara Estate 361 provides greater privacy and larger average unit sizes. DLF Arbour Senior Living focuses exclusively on 4-BHK + servant units with a limited number of residences per tower.

3. Pricing & Yield Comparison (NRI Lens)

DLF Arbour Senior Living

Expected pricing: ≈ ₹30,000 per sq ft carpet
Estimated rental yield: 4.5–5.5% net (senior living premium + DLF brand)
Exit liquidity: Very high — DLF resale market is deepest in NCR

Max Antara Estate 361

Expected pricing: ≈ ₹22,000 per sq ft
Estimated rental yield: 5.5–6.5% net (lower entry price + senior living premium)
Exit liquidity: Growing fast, now accelerated by the fully ready Dwarka Expressway

Verdict for NRIs: Max Antara Estate 361 delivers higher entry yields and greater potential for capital appreciation, given the operational Dwarka Expressway. DLF Arbour Senior Living provides stronger exit liquidity and a premium resale value due to its established brand.

5. Personalized NRI Advice – SuperLuxere Perspective

For NRIs and overseas family offices, senior living in Gurugram is currently among the most attractive asset classes in India. Our key recommendations are as follows:

Yield + Appreciation Combo: Max Antara Estate 361 likely offers a 5.5–6.5% net rental yield + 10–14% annual capital appreciation (Dwarka Expressway is now fully ready). DLF Arbour Senior Living likely gives 4.5–5.5% yield + 8–10% appreciation (proven micro-market).
Currency & Repatriation: Rental income may be repatriated under LRS after tax. Many NRIs use senior living investments as an INR hedge while earning a 5–6% yield in USD terms.
Tax Efficiency: Long-term capital gains (after 24 months) are taxed at 12.5% with indexation. Rental income is taxed at slab rates, but can be optimized through family trusts or companies.
Family Peace of Mind: For NRIs with parents in India, 24×7 medical response, concierge services, and community living provide reassurance. Many clients consider this the true return on investment.
