North Mumbai vs South Mumbai: Which side of Mumbai is better?

 North Mumbai vs South Mumbai: Which side of Mumbai is better?

The age-old question: North or South Mumbai?

If you, like countless others, want to make Mumbai your home, you might have faced the same dilemma: Should I invest in North or South Mumbai?

Here is a look at each side’s virtues and vices before you decide on your next investment venture:

The Historic South:

South Mumbai is home to the remnants of the historical island city and its colonial past. With its eclectic mix of colonial-era architecture, trendy restaurants, and vibrant nightlife, South Mumbai is ‘the place to be’.

It offers a range of attractions for tourists and residents alike — from art galleries and museums to theatres and beaches. One can also travel to nearby tourist destinations like Alibaug and Elephanta Island via the jetties offered at the coastline.

South Mumbai is not only historically significant to the city, but also houses the major city and state government administrative offices, along with major national and international institutions from the private, educational, and healthcare sectors. It is effectively the financial and commercial hub of the city.

These commercial establishments ensure the presence of a well-connected network of public transport for its employees from all over the city, ranging from the ubiquitous local trains, dependable BEST buses, and the distinctive ‘kaali-peeli’ taxis. The upcoming Metro Line 3 promises increased connectivity between the town and its suburbs.

With these exclusive perks comes the higher cost of living, high real estate prices, and increased price appreciation in these areas. South Mumbai offers an array of residences, from elegant colonial-age houses to modern high-rise apartments, ranging between ₹3–100 crore. So if you’re looking to live at the centre of all the action and have the means to do it, join the townies and embrace the ‘SoBo’ way of life.

The Contemporary North:

North Mumbai is the more recent counterpart of the southern city, developed to accommodate its overflowing residents. With its major commercial districts and a blend of residential and recreational areas, North Mumbai makes space for an attractive and affordable lifestyle.

Not to be left out, the areas of Bandra, Andheri, and Juhu boast exciting nightlife with its alluring selection of restaurants and recreational facilities. The beaches of Juhu and Versova offer engaging hangouts for its residents.

Nature and history enthusiasts can enjoy weekend hikes to the Kanheri Caves in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Northern Mumbai houses the prominent commercial business district Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), reputed IT parks, and notable private educational and healthcare institutions.

The well-connected railway and metro lines ease commuting for its residents who prefer to commute to their southern workplaces. Real estate offerings ranging from affordable apartments to luxurious villas (priced from 70 lakh–7.5 crore) make for a culturally diverse population in the area.

The residential areas of Malad, Borivali, Kandivali, Dahisar, Andheri, and Goregaon are favoured for their cheaper housing options. North Mumbai also houses the domestic and international airports of the city, and the upcoming Metro Line 3 will further ease connectivity to the southern regions of the city.

Thus North Mumbai lets you enjoy the best of both worlds by offering a more peaceful and affordable alternative to the bustling south. Rising commercial presence and work prospects in the region ensure promising long-term returns.
