Andheri's Real Estate Rise: Mumbai’s Next Property Powerhouse

Once known simply as a buzzing transit hub in Mumbai’s vast western corridor, Andheri is today at the centre of a transformation—quietly but powerfully emerging as one of the most sought-after real estate destinations in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

From a neighbourhood that once blended old residential zones with vintage markets, Andheri has now become a real estate magnet for homebuyers, investors, and developers alike. Its success story isn’t overnight—it’s rooted in strategic growth, infrastructural connectivity, and an evolving urban lifestyle.

A Strategic Location Turning Heads

Situated at the crossroads of Mumbai’s business centres and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Andheri’s geography plays to its advantage. The suburb enjoys seamless connectivity with metro stations like DN Nagar, Azad Nagar, and Andheri itself, along with easy access to Western Express Highway, Link Road, and commercial hubs like BKC, Powai, and Goregaon.

These advantages have helped transform Andheri from a stopover point to a prime residential and commercial hotspot.

The Numbers Speak

According to ANAROCK Property Consultants, nearly 18,000 new housing units were launched across Mumbai’s western suburbs in 2023, and a significant chunk was in Andheri. The suburb witnessed over 7,000 units sold last year, showcasing strong and consistent buyer confidence.

JLL India’s Residential Market Update 2024 echoes this trend—reporting that Andheri East and West together accounted for over 12,000 new launches in just two years. Developers like Lodha, Oberoi, Sheth, Kanakia, and newcomers like Tribeca have launched high-end projects that continue to redefine the skyline.
