Sector 17 is the oldest sector of Gurugram. It is located immediately next to the NH-48, and has close proximity to MG Road, Cyber Hub, Sector 29 and Udyog Vihar.
Initially only Army, Navy and Air force officers were allotted plots here. Later the bookings opened for even the IAS and IFS Officers. Over a period of time, approx 30% have either sold out or died and their children have inherited or they too have sold off and moved away. Though the Sector is now having mixed ownership., the ethics have somewhat remained and not got fully diluted. Therefore it is a decent living area and not spoilt by the Neo-Rich glitterati of Gurugram. The cost of living too has remained moderate and is at least 20-25% lower than in the DLF Sectors and the Palams or Ansals of the world.
One can easily find access to Delhi due to the fact that MG Metro Station is just 3 minutes away, and the Delhi Gurgaon border (Erstwhile Toll Barrier) is located approx 4 km away.
All in all, its an ideal sector to rent a place in, for working professionals whose place of work is Cyber Hub / Udyog Vihar / MG Road or even Delhi.
Sector 17 Enjoys the advantage of a "Sabzi Mandi" which is set up on every tuesday and saturday and the diaspora of Gurgaon come here for shopping for fruits and veggies.

Pros:

• Decent Educated & cultured Neighbours,
• Low cost of living - Maids, Fruits & Vegs
• Closest proximity to NH-48 (2 minutes)

Cons:

• Far from Golf Course Road area
• For high end shopping one needs to go out of the sector
