DLF The Arbour Floor Plans: The Single 4 BHK Layout Explained (2026)
Ask three brokers for the floor plan options at DLF The Arbour and you will get the same answer from all three: there is only one. Every apartment across all five towers and roughly 1,100-plus units is the same 4 BHK + Utility + Study configuration, at essentially the same size. That is unusual for a project this large, and it changes how you shop for a unit here — you are not choosing between configurations, only between tower, floor and facing. Here is what the layout actually contains, where the published numbers disagree, and how it sizes up against the multi-configuration competition on the same stretch of Golf Course Extension Road.
The Only Floor Plan DLF Offers
Every unit at DLF The Arbour is a 4 BHK + Utility, built around a master bedroom plus three additional bedrooms, four bathrooms, a living-dining area, a kitchen, a dedicated study nook and a separate utility/servant zone. The saleable area is consistently listed at approximately 3,900 sq ft across DLF’s own marketing and third-party portals.
Two design details stand out relative to the rest of the Gurugram luxury segment. The floor-to-floor height is 3.4 metres, meaningfully taller than the 3.0–3.2m that is typical even among competing ultra-luxury towers, and it shows up as genuine ceiling-to-floor volume rather than just a number on a spec sheet. The private deck runs close to 9’8″ deep on most units — deep enough to function as real outdoor living space rather than a token balcony, though the view quality still depends on tower position and floor, since not every unit has a clear line to the Aravallis once neighbouring plots finish construction.
Two Units Per Floor, One Shared Core
Each of the five towers is designed with just two apartments per floor sharing a single core, served by three high-speed elevators. That is a notably generous lift-to-household ratio — most Gurugram towers run one elevator bank across four to eight units per floor — and it is the practical payoff of DLF’s stated low-density design, alongside privacy and reduced shared-corridor traffic.
Where the Published Size Doesn’t Quite Agree
Most listings state the saleable/super area at roughly 3,900 sq ft. At least one portal separately quotes a carpet area of 3,956 sq ft for the same unit — and taken at face value, that is not possible. Carpet area is, by definition, smaller than the saleable or super area for the same apartment, since saleable area includes a share of common spaces, walls and loading. A carpet figure that exceeds the quoted saleable figure is almost certainly a labelling error on that portal’s part rather than evidence of two genuinely different unit sizes.
The practical takeaway: do not treat any single portal’s carpet-versus-saleable breakdown as final. Ask DLF or the seller directly for the RERA-registered carpet area figure specifically, since that is the number that legally matters for pricing comparisons and is the figure the RERA Act requires developers to disclose accurately.
A second, smaller discrepancy worth flagging while you are checking documents: total unit count across the project is reported as 1,137 in some sources and 1,338 in others. We cover that gap, and how to verify it against the actual RERA filing, in our DLF The Arbour construction status update.
Why a Single Configuration, and What It Costs You
Offering one size across an entire 1,100-plus unit project is a deliberate positioning choice, not an oversight. It signals that DLF is targeting one well-defined buyer — large families and HNIs who want a full 4 BHK — rather than spreading the project across multiple ticket sizes the way most competitors do. The trade-off is real: there is no smaller entry point into this address. A buyer who wants Golf Course Extension Road exposure without a ~₹10 crore-plus commitment will need to look elsewhere on the corridor, a point we walk through in more detail in who should buy DLF The Arbour.
How the Layout Compares to the Competition
| Project | Configurations offered | Size range |
|---|---|---|
| DLF The Arbour | 4 BHK only | ~3,900 sq ft (single size) |
| Sobha Crescent (Sector 63A) | 3 & 4 BHK | ~2,277–2,966 sq ft |
| M3M Golf Estate (Sector 65) | 3, 4 & 5 BHK, penthouses | Varies by tower and phase |
| DLF Camellias (Sector 42, same developer) | 4, 5 & 6 BHK | 4 BHK from ~7,196 sq ft |
| DLF Magnolias (Sector 42, same developer) | 4 & 5 BHK | ~9,800–10,777 sq ft |
That table makes an easy mistake visible: assuming a “DLF 4 BHK” means roughly the same apartment everywhere. It does not. The Arbour’s 3,900 sq ft is DLF’s most compact large-format ultra-luxury unit in Gurugram — less than half the size of a Magnolias 4 BHK carrying the identical bedroom count.

What to Verify Before You Book
- Ask for the RERA-sanctioned floor plan drawing itself, not just the marketing brochure render.
- Confirm carpet area versus super area in writing, given the labelling inconsistency across portals.
- Check your specific tower and floor for an unobstructed view before assuming every unit gets the marketed Aravalli-facing outlook.
- Cross-check the total unit count (1,137 vs 1,338) against the current RERA filing rather than any single portal.
- If comparing against DLF The Arbour’s price list, calculate the per-sq-ft rate off the RERA carpet figure, not the saleable figure, so you are comparing like for like against other GCER launches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the floor plan at DLF The Arbour?
DLF The Arbour offers a single floor plan: a 4 BHK + Utility with a study, at approximately 3,900 sq ft saleable area. It is the only configuration available across all five towers and roughly 1,100-plus units.
Does DLF The Arbour offer 3 BHK or smaller apartments?
No. Every unit in the project is the same 4 BHK + Utility configuration. Buyers wanting a smaller ticket size on Golf Course Extension Road would need to look at a project like Sobha Crescent, which offers both 3 and 4 BHK options.
What is the carpet area versus super area at DLF The Arbour?
Most listings quote roughly 3,900 sq ft as the saleable/super area. One portal separately lists a 3,956 sq ft carpet area, which cannot be correct alongside that saleable figure since carpet area is always smaller. Ask DLF or the seller for the RERA-registered carpet figure directly before finalising a comparison.
How many apartments are there per floor at DLF The Arbour?
Two apartments per floor share a single core, served by three high-speed elevators. This low-density, high-lift-ratio design is one of the project’s more genuine differentiators against denser competing towers on the corridor.
How does DLF The Arbour’s 4 BHK compare to DLF Camellias or Magnolias?
It is significantly smaller. Camellias’ 4 BHK starts around 7,196 sq ft and Magnolias runs 9,800–10,777 sq ft for the same bedroom count, both roughly double or more the size of an Arbour unit despite sharing the DLF name and a “4 BHK” label.
Is DLF The Arbour a good fit for a first Gurugram apartment purchase?
Generally not. With only one large-format, high-ticket configuration available, it suits established buyers and large families more than a first-time purchase. See our full breakdown in who should buy DLF The Arbour.
