About Andheri
About Andheri East
The largest and most densely populated suburb of Mumbai, Andheri started developing as early as 1915. This locality, situated on the west of Mumbai, on the Salsette Island, has the busiest railway station in the country. Andheri’s contribution to the country as a major industrial hub cannot be denied. Both the sections – Andheri East and Andheri West have a number of industrial and commercial centres.
Andheri East is mostly known for being an industrial and commercial hub. Despite that, there are plenty of residential colonies here. The people settling down here are mostly from middle-class background and the residential areas are cheaper than those in the more upscale western neighbourhood. Andheri West is almost entirely residential, with most of the communities here being dominated by Parsi households and luxury apartments and villas. It is more posh than Andheri East, and the property prices are higher.
The Andheri skyline is dotted with skyscrapers and high-rises. The most common property type is multi-storeyed apartments, with a few bungalows scattered here and there as remnants of Andheri’s rich Parsi heritage. The road network in Andheri is extensive, with broad roads, connecting it to every part of the city. Like the rest of Mumbai, life in Andheri is fast paced. The heavy flow of traffic and the number of malls and shopping centres in Andheri, makes it the first choice of many young Indians, who want to experience a happening city life.

Connectivity and transit points
Being a part of MMR, Andheri enjoys excellent rail connectivity. The Andheri railway station lies on the Mumbai Suburban Railway. The residents of Andheri mostly use the western line of the Mumbai Suburban Rail network for daily commutation. The harbour line, which is a part of the central line, connects Andheri station with Panvel and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport Terminus.
The road network in Andheri is excellent. The Versova Causeway or the Versova Road connects Andheri with Versova. The two major arterial roads that run through Andheri are the Madhavdas Amarsey Road (M.A. Road) and the S.V. Road. Andheri is connected to further off areas like Borivali via the new link road.
Major Landmarks
The major landmarks in Andheri that sets it apart are –
Zoroastrian Parsi Fire Temple
Santacruz Electronics and Export Promotion Zone (SEEPZ)
Andheri Sports Complex
Gilbert Hill
Mahakali Caves
Factors for growth in the past
Being located in the business capital of India, Andheri definitely enjoys the advantage of being home to a number of commercial and industrial hubs. The best example of these would be Saki Naka and MIDC-SEEPZ. The easy connectivity with the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport is another added advantage that Andheri enjoys.
Developments in Andheri go back to the early nineties, when people from other states and colonies started migrating to Bombay. Andheri, which was previously dominated by the Parsi colonies, started to see rapid urbanisation under the influence of the subsequent colonisation.
But the real development in Andheri started when a number of film studios and companies were set up in Andheri. This period started from 1935 and lasted till 1980, during which Andheri was the hub of the Bollywood film industry.
One important infrastructure project, the Western Express Highway, which passes through east Andheri, connects this locality with suburbs like Bandra, Goregaon, Kandivili, Borivali and Dahisar. It then continues on to be the Delhi-Mumbai National Highway. Being located on such an important route, Andheri real estate continues to flourish under the constant traffic along this road.
Another project improving the connectivity in Andheri is the recently completed Ghatkopar – Andheri – Versova corridor of the Mumbai Metro. This has proven to be a boon for commuters, as it reduces their traveling time from one and a half hours to less than thirty minutes.
Residential and Commercial Market
Although both parts of Andheri have thriving real estate markets, there are some differences between these two markets.
The real estate market in Andheri East is distributed equally between residential and commercial properties. This locality claims a lower price rate than its western counterpart. Generally the properties in Andheri East are for middle class and upper class homebuyers. The properties favoured by these buyers are smaller, more compact apartment types, generally 1 or 2 BHKs, whose price range is Rs 10,400 – Rs 14,100 per sq. ft.
The locality of Andheri West can be identified as a posh and upscale neighbourhood, with the residents comprising of all the elites of the film and TV industry, and globally successful business personalities. They prefer larger apartments or villas (3 or 4 BHKs). There are no industrial areas here; strictly residential locality, and the price range lies between Rs 16,550 – Rs 25,100 per sq. ft.
Major Challenges
Traffic Problems: The areas that are most affected by traffic problems are the Andheri-Kurla road and the Andheri station. The Andheri station has a footfall of more than 6 lakhs, which has increased since the completion of the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar metro corridor. This has caused congestion and traffic comes to a standstill on a daily basis.
Garbage Disposal Problems: Parts of Andheri, especially Andheri West suffer from garbage disposal problems now and then. The agency responsible for the disposal and treatment of waste sometimes fails to pick up the garbage for some days at a stretch, creating extremely unhygienic conditions, especially in localities like Versova, J.P. Road and Lokhandwala.
About Andheri West
Andheri West is a popular, lively locality in the city of Mumbai. More affluent when compared to its eastern counterpart, it boasts of scenic sea-side views and landscaped beauty. Most of the property in Andheri West dates back to the early 1940s, with a majority of the residences exuding a sense of olden days. A locality for the elites, it is abode to several TV personalities, which has led to the soaring property values.
Andheri West differs from its eastern counterpart in many ways. Though Andheri East offers great industrial exposure and swift connectivity, it lacks in basic structure and organisation, something Andheri West takes pride in. The western side of this suburb revels in its green landscapes and calm environment, making it a hot property destination among realtors.
Primarily a residential catchment, Andheri West boasts of a myriad of amenities to accommodate to the residents’ needs. Situated close to the beach are prime residential complexes with state-of-the-art amenities such as swimming pools, jogging tracks, sports centers, departmental stores, and multiplexes. These include Lokhandwala Complex, Yari Road and Dhake Colony, among several others.
Catering to the educational needs of youngsters, there are a plethora of eminent educational institutions such as Arya Vidya Mandir School, Bombay Cambridge High School, Sardar Patel College of Engineering and Valia College of Commerce and Arts.

Connectivity and Transit Points

Stations that are bound for other towns and cities either start at this station or make a halt there. The station is located a mere 4km away from the western part of the suburb.
The recently operational Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro connects Andheri to Versova in the west and Ghatkopar in the east, enabling hassle-free travel between Western Line and the Central line of the suburban rail via important hubs such as the Airport, Western Express Highway, and the industrial region of Saki Naka.

Factors for Growth in the Past
The construction of the Versova Causeway in 1940 led to the development of the surrounding areas of Andheri on Shasti Island, and the adjoining islet of Versova. One of the oldest colonies in this locality, the Dhake Colony, comprising five historic buildings, was built in circa 1950.
The original layup of this area was that of a residential colony, a network of lanes filled with massive bungalows facing the sea. Though the bungalows have given rise to multi-storey apartments over the years, the well-designed layouts with serene views of the sea shore and landscaped green pavements, remains the same.
Residential & Commercial Market
The current sale trends for multi-storey apartments in Andheri West fall within the range of Rs 21,500- 22,200 per sq.ft., and that of builder floor apartments fall between Rs 18,200- 22,000 per sq.ft. Rental rates vary from Rs 42-55 per sq.ft. Residential houses in Andheri West may cost anywhere around Rs 18,600- 22, 700 per sq.ft., with rents ranging from Rs 42-48 per sq.ft.
Current sale trends for commercial space fall within the brackets of Rs 19,000-20,000 per sq.ft., with rental rates ranging from Rs 95-100 per sq.ft.
Major Challenges
Problems caused by the perennial congestion on roads along with slow moving traffic adversely affect the residents of Andheri West. Poor lighting, ineffective methods of garbage disposal, and incidents of chain snatching and other petty crimes have also been reported.
Factors for Growth in the Future
The operation of Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro, increasing the connectivity between Andheri and other prime localities, has acted as a catalyst in this area’s growth.
New projects by renowned developers such as Rustomjee Developers, Sheth Developers, Nahar Amrit Shakti, Kani ka Spaces and Hubtown are in the pipeline.
The future prospects of Andheri West are boundless. The investment in commercial and residential units in this locality will continue to fetch good returns in the near future, leading to unbridled growth and progress.
