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.
- Established, family-friendly blocks
- 10 minutes to Dum Dum metro
- Good 2BHK and 3BHK supply

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.
- Spacious 2BHK and 3BHK flats in Block A and Block B
- Newer apartment blocks on Jessore Road and Bangur Avenue
- Ground-floor and lift-access flats for elderly parents
- A smaller supply of 1BHKs, mostly unfurnished

Society transfer fees and building age are the two things to check before agreeing a price.

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.
