Flat and room rent in Lake Town, Kolkata

Lake Town is one of north Kolkata’s most settled neighbourhoods: tree-lined blocks between Jessore Road and VIP Road, the lake and clock tower at its centre, and Sreebhumi and Bangur next door. Families choose it for the schools and calm; professionals for the ten-minute hop to Dum Dum metro. We list flats for rent, flats for sale and rooms or PGs across Lake Town’s blocks.

Flats for rent

Flats for rent in Lake Town

Lake Town was laid out as a planned residential colony in the 1960s, which is why its blocks are orderly, its roads are wide and its flats are larger than the newer builds along VIP Road. Rental stock is mostly flats in low-rise buildings owned by long-term residents, plus newer apartment blocks on Jessore Road and around Bangur Avenue. Two and three bedroom family flats dominate; 1BHKs are fewer and get taken quickly.

Tenants here are typically families with school-going children, couples who want a quieter life than Kestopur or Baguiati, and professionals who commute by metro from Dum Dum or by bus along VIP Road to Sector V.

Flats for sale in Lake Town

Resale flats in Lake Town hold their value well because new land is scarce and the neighbourhood has a settled reputation. Older buildings offer large carpet areas at a lower price per square foot; newer blocks command a premium for lifts and parking. Society transfer fees and building age are the two things to check before agreeing a price.

Living here

What it is like to live in Lake Town

The lake, the clock tower and the parks give Lake Town a sense of space that the VIP Road neighbourhoods lack. Sreebhumi hosts one of Kolkata’s most famous Durga Pujas, Lake Town market and Jessore Road cover daily needs, and Dum Dum Park and Bangur add more shops and eateries. Dum Dum metro and the airport are both close, and Sector V is a straight run down VIP Road.
