Review


Sector 47, Noida

What’s good? What’s not?


Sector 47 in Noida is one of the appreciated sectors of Noida, with well maintained parks, roads and security arrangements. It is rated in 'B' Category by Noida Authority which has classified all its sectors in categories 'A' to 'E' for fixing minimum sector rates. The Sector 47 RWA has also been doing a decent job in maintaining the sector well. Here we have an unbiased review on Noida's Sector 47:


What’s Good:

Sector 47 in Noida boasts of several small and big parks for its residents. Almost all of them are quite well maintained and well kept. The parks are easily accessible and you can see people from all age groups enjoying their mornings and evenings in the parks. The Central Park, which is one of the biggest parks in Sector 47 is really beautiful, well maintained, well lit and well kept.

Security arrangements in the sector appear quite decent too. There are guards available on all open gates of the sectors all the time and at night only one gate is kept open which is also heavily guarded. Night patrol by the guards is also quite frequent and is appreciated by the residents.

Sector 47 also boasts of some of the most well maintained and wide roads in Noida. The sector has minimum road width of 12 meters and all sector roads are much wider. Many sectors in Noida suffer from narrow roads due to which there is scarce parking space, traffic snarls and issues among neighbours, but Sector 47 has no such problems.

Water supplied to Sector 47 is relatively much better as compared to some of the other sectors of Noida. Also, the natural underground water that’s available to Sector 47 residents is also ‘sweet’ and naturally clean, hence, many households rely on their bore wells for their water usage.


What’s not:

The biggest issue which is faced by Sector 47 residents is lack of any commercial space in the sector. Although there are a couple of make-shift outlets in the sector but lack of a proper market forces the residents to travel all the way to Sector 41 or Sector 50 markets for smallest of requirements. Noida Authority’s apathy to this blooming sector’s issues is deplorable.

This sector also now lacks any direct approach from Noida city centre. Earlier their was a direct approach from Dadri Road, but that intersection has been closed and one has to take a 1.5 km detour to enter the sector from Dadri road side. Another direct approach which could be made available from Green Valley Crossing side has a short patch of about 50 meter unconstructed road which has not been completed for years now. Due to this short patch, the residents of Sector 47 Noida have to take long routes to reach the sector every day.


It should be noted that Noida Authority charges heavy penalties to plot owners who are not building their houses, and fees & charges to the ones who complete the construction of their houses; however, it is sad that this amount is not spent on the sector’s development. Shouldn’t Noida Authority be fined for the delay in constructing markets & shopping centres for the residents of the sector?

Overall review of Sector 47 however remains very positive and in coming years it will surely be one of the best sectors in Noida.
