What Clement Town is like
Clement Town is in south Dehradun, around the Clement Town cantonment and the Mindrolling Monastery. It is greener and quieter than the city centre, with independent houses, plots and some colleges and universities nearby, which also bring a student rental market.
Who it suits
Families and retirees who want space and quiet. Students renting near the colleges on this side of the city.
What to check
Find out whether the property is in the cantonment's civil area or in Nagar Nigam limits: the two have different rules for building approval and tax, and the planned merger of the civil areas into the Nagar Nigam has not happened yet; see the cantonment merger. Stay clear of drain and river banks: the High Court has ordered action on encroachment along the Bharuwala drain here; see the Clement Town drain case. A new ring road from Chanchak bridge is planned in this area; see Dehradun roads.
Nearby: Doiwala.
