Where are the Best Apartments in Mohali in 2026?
The strongest locations for Apartments in Mohali in 2026 include Sectors 65, 66, IT City, Sectors 88 and 91, Aerocity and the older Phases. Here’s a breakdown.
1. Sector 65: The Priciest Location in Mohali
Sector 65 is currently the most expensive location in Mohali, with rates ranging between ₹ 12,000 and ₹ 12,850 per sq ft on one local property portal in July 2026. You pay a premium to be on Airport Road.
2. Sector 66/66A: Convenience of Mall, Railway and Airport
Areas in Sector 66 and IT City near it range between ₹10,000 and ₹10,500 per sq ft in the same data. The Bestech Square mall is here, with a multiplex and a hypermarket.
Sectors 66/66A are linked to the railway station and airport, approximately 2 and 11 km away, respectively, in the listing data.
3. IT City (Sectors 82 and 82A): Less Travel for Office-Goers
Sector 82 near JLPL was listed for ₹10,203 per sq ft in July 2026. As it is developed around the IT park, it draws in people who do not want to make the daily commute to Chandigarh.
If you work in any of these sectors, consider living in one of the flats in this area. You may want to see what is in the vicinity. Most of the development is concentrated in pockets, and the rest is empty.
4. Sectors 88 and 91: Widest Options
Sector 88 had the highest number of listings for flats on a particular portal in June 2026, around 360. Sectors 66A and 91 followed.
Seeing a high number of listings helps compare various projects. Make sure to check the quality of the projects by visiting during evenings to see how the lifts, parking and play areas are used. Also, make sure to see how many of the towers are completed, as an incomplete tower around your project means months of dust and noise.
4. Sectors 88 and 91: Widest Options
Flats in Aerocity were listed for around ₹9,153 per sq ft in July 2026. This area is developed next to the international airport, and thus draws in frequent flyers.
Check what is developed and built before you book.
6. Phases 3 to 11: Established and Familiar
Phases 3 to 11 have developed markets, schools and hospitals. Many of the housing options here are independent floors and older housing societies as compared to new gated towers.
You get fewer shared facilities such as a clubhouse or sports courts. Parking can be an issue. Best for people who want to move into a complete neighbourhood before them but don’t want to wait for construction to catch up.

- Carpet area: Ask what the built-up area is and how much of it is actually floor space.

- Ensure all costs are listed, including registration, maintenance and parking.
