All About Living in the Western Suburbs, Mumbai

The Western Suburbs is a part of Mumbai, India, that is located on the western side of the city.

Andheri, Bandra, Bhayander, Borivali, Dahisar, Goregaon, Jogeshwari, Juhu, Kandivali, Khar, Malad, Mira Road, Santacruz, and Vile Parle make up the Western Suburbs. The Western Suburbs, which are located on the western side of Salsette Island, is a continuous suburban sprawl that stretches from Bandra to Bhayander and is divided from Vasai-Virar city by the Vasai Creek and Mumbai city by the Mithi River.

The Western Suburbs are some of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. Bandra, in an instance, has existed as a distinct town for nearly as long as Mumbai. The region began as a collection of fishing settlements. This region is traversed by the River Mithi, which also acts as a sewage route. The Bandra Kurla Complex was established in the 1980s as a well-intentioned attempt to create a new downtown away from Nariman Point. The majority of the biggest financial institutions and corporations have relocated to this location.

Price Trends

The starting price of a property in Western Suburbs is Rs. 15 per square foot, while the average price is Rs. 19,713 per square foot. The current price trend suggests that both purchasing and selling homes in Mumbai’s Western Suburbs is beneficial.

Transport

On the city’s suburban railway system’s Western and Harbour lines, each of the suburbs has a station. Important railway stations include Bandra, Andheri, Borivali, and Bhayander. A branch of the Harbour line stops in Goregaon, with plans to extend the line up to Borivali-Bhayander. Bandra Terminus is one of Mumbai’s six long-distance railway stations. The Mumbai Metro’s Line 1 also covers the whole Andheri area. Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport provides bus services (BEST). The Western Suburbs are served by the “200” and “300” series buses. The Western Express Highway (WEH) connects the northernmost suburbs of the Western Suburbs, the Bhayander-Mira Road-Dahisar-Borivali belt, to Vile Parle-Bandra belt, and subsequently Worli and South Mumbai through the Bandra–Worli Sea Link. On its western side, WEH runs parallel to the Western Line.

Social Amenities

Apart from the normal suburban development, this area, particularly around Malad, boasts several lovely beaches. The hot springs at Jogeshwari are said to have therapeutic powers. The Sanjay Gandhi National Park’s entrance lies in Borivali, which is why the wildlife reserve is sometimes known as Borivali National Park. Many software and BPO firms have offices in and around Andheri’s SEEPZ. Juhu Beach is located in the western suburbs. In the evenings, these areas may get highly congested, resulting in significant traffic backups.
