Introduction to Dara Gardens 6th of October

Compound Dara Gardens October is not a project sold off a floor plan — it is a finished neighbourhood that families have lived in for years. Al Ahly Sabbour launched it in 2004 across 197,000 square metres behind October's Shooting Club.

Dara Gardens prices today run from 15,000,000 Egyptian pounds to 55,000,000 Egyptian pounds. That span reflects the unit mix — townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas — not any difference in build quality.

Dara Gardens holds just 216 villas, each with a walled garden and private pool, across roughly 47 feddans (197,000 square metres). That low density is what gives the community a calm that newer, denser launches struggle to reproduce.

The developer writes the name Darah Gardens on its own site and on the entrance gate, while the market has settled on Dara Gardens. Both refer to the same 216-villa community in the Northern Expansions.

This guide covers the location, the unit mix, honest resale pricing and the drawbacks worth weighing before you commit to Compound Dara Gardens October.

Where is Dara Gardens located in 6th of October?

Dara Gardens 6th of October sits directly behind the Shooting Club, inside the Northern Expansions of 6th of October City. That address places the compound in the most established residential belt of the city rather than on its desert edge.

The distances come from the developer's own published figures: two kilometres to Mall of Arabia, one kilometre to Dar Al Fouad Hospital, and 950 metres to the Shooting Club. Residents rarely need to leave the immediate area for daily errands.

The 26th of July Axis and the Ring Road connect Compound Dara Gardens to Mohandessin and central Cairo, while Waslet Dahshur Road is only three kilometres away. The compound therefore plugs into both the northern corridor and the southern link toward the newer settlements.

Dara Gardens also benefits from everything already built around it in the Northern Expansions. Schools, hospitals and retail have been trading for years — a material difference from a project launching today in a district whose amenities still exist only on a masterplan.

Design of Dara Gardens Compound and Its Mediterranean Architecture

Dara Gardens follows a Mediterranean architectural school rather than the flat contemporary style dominating recent launches. Pitched terracotta roofs, sand-toned façades and stone arches at the entrances form a single visual identity applied to every unit without exception.

That consistency is one of the strongest assets at Dara Gardens Compound. No façade breaks the language, no extension was bolted on later in a different colour — a coherence that developments handing over serviced plots almost never achieve.

Timber pergolas, wooden shutters and bougainvillea climbing the walls recur throughout Dara Gardens. They are small details, but they are why the streets read as a neighbourhood that grew in gradually rather than a masterplan executed in one pass.

The urban fabric of Dara Gardens rests on relatively narrow shaded streets, planted pavements and pedestrian paths separating the residential blocks. That gradient from street to private entrance produces a calm-neighbourhood feel instead of a through-road.

The advantage no new project can compete with is the age of the planting at Dara Gardens Compound. Entrance palms and shade trees have reached full height after two decades, while a buyer in a recent launch waits years for the same effect.

Small artificial lakes and water features sit between the residential clusters, ringed by shaded seating. These spaces are the centre of daily life here, and they explain why Dara Gardens Compound is best described as a gardens project first and a housing project second.

Area & Spaces of Units in Dara Gardens 6th of October

Compound Dara Gardens 6th of October is a pure villa development — it contains no apartments and no studios at all. The 216 units divide into exactly three categories: townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas, spanning roughly 283 to 1,100 square metres.

The size ladder at Dara Gardens 6th of October starts with townhouses between 283 and 360 square metres. This is the most actively traded resale category and suits a family of four to five wanting a private garden without the upkeep burden of a large villa.

Twin houses run between 340 and 440 square metres with two open elevations and a single shared wall. Inside Dara Gardens they are the logical middle ground for buyers who want close to standalone space at a measurable discount to it.

Standalone villas occupy the top of the Dara Gardens range, with built-up areas from 420 square metres rising to around 1,100 square metres in the exceptional units. Every villa has a walled garden and a private pool fully separated from the neighbours.

Anyone searching for villas for sale in Dara Gardens 6th of October will find units of four to six bedrooms. The detailed size and starting-price table appears in the prices section below and refreshes automatically with every price review.

One point deserves attention: finishing at Dara Gardens varies unit to unit because this is a resale market. Some units are fully finished to super-deluxe standard, others are semi-finished and carry a renovation budget that belongs in your negotiation.

What are Dara Gardens Prices in 2026?

Dara Gardens 6th of October prices in 2026 are set by the secondary market rather than by a developer price list, because the project is fully handed over. Each unit is therefore priced individually on its condition, position within the masterplan and finishing level.

Compound Dara Gardens prices start from 15,000,000 Egyptian pounds for the smallest townhouse and reach 55,000,000 Egyptian pounds for the largest standalone villas. In practice that band is tighter than the spread in unit sizes would suggest.

Note that twin houses at Dara Gardens press hard against the smaller standalone villas on price despite a modest size gap. The two deserve a careful side-by-side comparison, since both share exactly the same amenities and the same service charges.

Two units of identical size inside Compound Dara Gardens can differ by around 15% in favour of the one overlooking green space or sitting closer to the club. Settle your priority early, because the same premium carries into your eventual resale price.

For the current list of available units this month, contact the CompoundGate team. Inventory at Dara Gardens 6th of October moves less predictably than in new launches, because every listing depends on an individual owner's decision to sell.

To put these figures in context, compare them against the recently launched Compound Mountain View iCity October. The gap shows exactly what a buyer pays for immediate possession at Dara Gardens instead of waiting years for handover.

What is the Payment Plan for Dara Gardens?

Dara Gardens payment terms work differently from a new launch because the seller is an individual owner, not a development company. There is no single published installment plan across the compound — terms are agreed deal by deal between the two parties.

The large majority of Dara Gardens transactions close in cash, or with a substantial first payment followed by a short one-to-two-year installment tail. Those terms are negotiated directly with the unit owner and shift according to how quickly they need liquidity.

The second route open to buyers at Compound Dara Gardens is bank mortgage finance. Because the units are registered and delivered they qualify for a mortgage — an option unavailable on off-plan stock, and one that opens far longer tenors.

Budget two line items beyond the purchase price at Dara Gardens: registration and transfer costs, and a renovation allowance if the unit is semi-finished. Overlooking these two is the most common way a budget slips.

Before signing on any unit at Compound Dara Gardens, verify the title documents and confirm the seller has cleared outstanding annual maintenance charges. The CompoundGate team tracks these details on your behalf through to completion of the transfer.

Investment in Dara Gardens 6th of October

Dara Gardens represents the low-risk end of the Egyptian market. Delay risk, specification-change risk and developer-default risk are all absent here, because the compound is built, handed over and occupied and has been for years.

6th of October has seen steady annual price growth in recent years, and units here capture it with one structural advantage: supply is fixed at 216 units and can never increase. That scarcity underpins values over the long run.

The rental market around Dara Gardens October is active thanks to proximity to the private universities and the business corridor. Furnished villas draw demand from expatriate and relocating families, a segment less volatile than small-apartment rental demand.

Any fair comparison should set this project against alternatives in the same district. Browsing Compound Mountain View October Park and Compound Badya 6th of October and Compound KingsWay 6th of October is a useful way to measure the delivered-versus-new price gap before deciding.

The best-fit buyer for Dara Gardens is someone seeking immediate occupancy at a proven quality level, or an investor who prefers an asset that is rentable from day one. Buyers chasing maximum capital appreciation may find wider upside in early launch phases elsewhere.

Services & Facilities at Dara Gardens

Dara Gardens amenities have been operating for years, and that is the substantive difference from a new project. What competitors describe as a future promise is here a tested set of facilities residents already use every day.

The clubhouse forms the social centre of Compound Dara Gardens, surrounded by shared swimming pools and shaded seating areas. Alongside it runs a small retail strip covering daily needs without residents having to pass through the gate.

Artificial lakes and water features thread between the residential clusters of Dara Gardens, crossed by pedestrian walkways and jogging tracks. This green network is what makes the community genuinely walkable rather than a set of streets you drive between.

Children's play areas at Dara Gardens are distributed near the residential blocks instead of being concentrated at a single point. That layout shortens daily movement and makes it easier for parents to keep an eye on their children.

Security at Compound Dara Gardens runs around the clock with a single controlled gate and CCTV covering the internal spines. A permanent maintenance and landscaping team keeps the green spaces at the standard the project's reputation was built on.

The neighbouring Shooting Club adds a recreational dimension most projects in the city cannot match, sitting less than a kilometre from the gate. It is a genuine draw for resident families and rarely shows up in a bare price comparison.

• Fully equipped social clubhouse
• Shared swimming pools plus a private pool for every villa
• Retail strip with restaurants and cafés
• Artificial lakes and water features within the landscaping
• Shaded pedestrian walkways and jogging tracks
• Children's play areas distributed between the blocks
• 24-hour security and CCTV coverage
• Permanent maintenance and landscaping team
• Private walled garden for every unit

Buyers weighing this service stack against larger masterplans should browse Compound New Giza 6th of October and Compound O West 6th of October. The difference is that amenities at Dara Gardens have been running for years, not months.

General Features of Dara Gardens

Dara Gardens features reduce to a single sentence: this is a project that has already proven itself. Every line in the list below can be inspected on site today rather than read as a promise in a deferred handover contract.

Together these produce what money struggles to buy in a recent launch: a settled community. A unit at Compound Dara Gardens October is bought with its neighbours, its trees and its working amenities attached, not merely with its floor plan.

To weigh those advantages against a golf-led project in the same district, browse Compound Palm Hills Golf Views 6th of October. The essential difference is that Dara Gardens sells maturity that already exists, while newer schemes sell a deferred promise.

What are the Drawbacks of Dara Gardens?

Dara Gardens is not the right answer for every buyer. Two objections come up most often.

Key Drawbacks of Dara Gardens and Suggested Solutions

First drawback — building age: units at Dara Gardens were built over two decades ago and some need work on finishes, air conditioning and plumbing.

Mitigation: commission a technical inspection and fold the renovation budget into your offer. Semi-finished units at Compound Dara Gardens are priced to absorb it.

Second drawback — no apartments: Compound Dara Gardens is villas throughout, so there is no low entry ticket for a smaller unit.

Mitigation: the 283 m² townhouse is the lowest entry point. Buyers on a tighter budget will find alternatives at Compound Kayan 6th of October.

About the Developer: Al Ahly Sabbour Developments & Previous Projects

Al Ahly Sabbour Developments traces its origins to 1994 and the vision of Engineer Hussein Sabbour, and rests on a strategic partnership with the National Bank of Egypt. That banking backbone explains the firm's stability across more than three decades of market cycles.

Al Ahly Sabbour Developments records more than 65 developments and over 12 million square metres built across Egypt, serving upwards of 40,000 families. Those figures are published on the company's own website, alongside the Dara Gardens project page itself.

The Al Ahly Sabbour Developments portfolio runs from East Cairo to West Cairo and on to the Red Sea and the North Coast. Its work in this city includes Compound Keeva 6th of October, the closest direct comparison to Dara Gardens.

In New Cairo sit Katameya Residence, The Square and Grand Residence; on the North Coast, Amwaj, Summer and Youd; and Piacera in Ain Sokhna. That spread shows the developer reproducing the standards of Dara Gardens across very different product types.

This geographic presence also underpins after-sales confidence. A developer active in four distinct markets maintains a settled community-management arm, and that shows directly in the condition of Compound Dara Gardens two decades after handover.

The value of that record to a buyer is that Al Ahly Sabbour Developments still manages and maintains its older communities long after handover — visible in the condition of Dara Gardens today. Browse all Al Ahly Sabbour Developments projects on CompoundGate to compare the full portfolio.
