3 Upcoming Residential Areas Worth Exploring in Mumbai

At GharConnect.in, we're constantly tracking community trends, lifestyle upgrades, and transport developments across the city. Based on what we're seeing in 2025, here are three areas in Mumbai that are gaining popularity fast

thanks to improving infrastructure, affordable housing, and plenty to do.

## 1. Chembur East (Especially Around the Monorail and Eastern Freeway)

Chembur has been on the radar for a while, but Chembur East is now catching up in a big way especially with the Monorail connectivity improving and the Eastern Freeway making commutes to South Mumbai faster than ever.

Affordability: You can still find 1BHK and 2BHK flats under ₹1 crore — a rare thing this close to town.

Connectivity: Easy access to South Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and BKC via Monorail, Freeway, and Sion-Trombay Road.

What to do: Joggers Park, cafes near Diamond Garden, and cultural centers like Fine Arts Society.

Ideal for: Young couples, working professionals, and those who want balance between accessibility and a calmer pace of life.

## 2. Wadala (Near Bhakti Park and Metro Lines 4 & 11)

Once overlooked, Wadala is now transforming into a transport and lifestyle hub. With the new Mumbai Metro lines extending through the area and Bhakti Park's greenery adding charm, Wadala is one of the city's most exciting residential frontiers.

Affordability: Premium by suburban standards, but cheaper than Dadar or Lower Parel. Upcoming 1.5 and 2BHK projects are still within reach.

Connectivity: Upcoming Metro Line 4 (Wadala-Kasarvadavali) and Line 11 (Wadala-CSMT) will make east-west and town commutes seamless.

What to do: IMAX theatre, local parks, walkable access to Sewri sea face once the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link opens.

Ideal for: Families looking for an upgrade, working professionals commuting to BKC, Fort or Navi Mumbai.

## 3. Kanjurmarg

Often overshadowed by Powai, Kanjurmarg is now one of Mumbai's fastest-growing micro-markets. It shares the same central location without the inflated price tag.

Affordability: 1BHKs starting at ₹60–70 lakhs; 2BHKs between ₹90L–1.3Cr.

Connectivity: Right on the Central Line, with upcoming Metro Line 6 (Swami Samarth Nagar–Vikhroli) improving east-west movement.

What to do: Close to Hiranandani Powai, cafes, lakeside promenades, and shopping options.

Ideal for: First-time buyers, renters looking for access to both Central and Western suburbs, and those working in the Kanjurmarg-Powai-SEEPZ belt.
