Arvind Forreste is a villa community by Arvind Smartspaces near Khatraj Cross Road, Jethalaj-Rancharda, on Ahmedabad’s outskirts toward Gandhinagar. It is one of the larger villa-format developments in the area, built around low-density living rather than apartment towers.
Location & Connectivity
The project sits on Khatraj-Kalol Road near Rancharda, an area that sits between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar rather than inside either city’s core. This positioning trades immediate city-centre access for a quieter, lower-density setting – a trade-off worth weighing carefully against actual daily commute needs before buying, since the location is genuinely on the outskirts rather than a well-established residential pocket.
Project Specifications
The development spans approximately 109-110 acres (reported both ways across sources, likely just rounding). It offers 1, 2, 3, and 4 BHK villas with plot/villa sizes ranging from roughly 540 to 1,901 square yards, giving buyers a wide spread of choice from smaller to considerably larger homes within the same community. The project is currently listed as ongoing/under construction rather than a fresh pre-launch.
Pricing
Pricing starts at approximately Rs 2.5 crore onwards based on the estimated Gross Development Value, with more granular figures from other sources putting a 1 BHK villa from around Rs 2.52 crore, 2 BHK from about Rs 3.24 crore, 3 BHK from around Rs 2.95 crore, and 4 BHK from Rs 5.35 crore. The overlap between the 2 BHK and 3 BHK figures suggests these numbers come from different phases, blocks, or plot sizes rather than a strict configuration-based price ladder, so buyers should get villa-specific pricing for the exact unit and plot size they are considering rather than relying on configuration alone.
Amenities
Listed amenities include round-the-clock water supply and power backup, CCTV coverage, a clubhouse, covered parking, fire safety systems, a gym, indoor games, a swimming pool, and a tennis court – a reasonably complete amenity set for a villa community of this scale. As always, the final delivered amenity list should be checked against the project’s approved plan.
RERA & Compliance
Two different RERA registration numbers for this project appear across sources: PR/GJ/GANDHINAGAR/GANDHINAGAR/AUDA/RAA06788/A4R/161123 and PR/GJ/GANDHINAGAR/GANDHINAGAR/AUDA/RAA06788/A3R/190621. Both share the same base registration (RAA06788) but differ in the phase suffix and date segment, which most likely reflects separate phase-wise registrations (A3R and A4R) rather than an error – a large villa community developed in phases will often carry more than one RERA number as new phases are added. Buyers should confirm which specific phase and RERA number applies to the exact villa they are considering by checking the Gujarat RERA portal directly, rather than assuming either number covers the whole project.
A Few Honest Notes
The overlapping price figures across BHK configurations and the two distinct RERA numbers both point to this being a multi-phase development where different sources are describing different slices of the same larger project. Neither issue is a red flag by itself, but it does mean buyers need phase-specific documentation rather than a single generic cost sheet.
Verdict
Arvind Forreste is a real, sizeable villa development from an established, listed developer, with genuine RERA registration and construction already underway. The phase-wise structure means the usual advice applies with extra force here: get the specific RERA number, price, and plot size for the exact villa on offer in writing before booking, rather than relying on the project’s overall scale and reputation.
