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.

Enjoy magnificent sea views and take the luxury to pause in the city that never sleeps with The Odyssey by Shapoorji Pallonji. Elegant 3 BHK flats in Marine Drive, let you experience the unique history of South Mumbai firsthand.

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.

Look for your dream home at the prime location of BKC among the elegant 2 BHK offerings of Shapoorji Pallonji’s BKC 28 and their 2 and 3 BHK offerings at BKC 9.

Why invest in Howrah?

 Why invest in Howrah?

Hop on Howrah’s housing revolution

Located on the western banks of the Hooghly River, Howrah is rapidly developing into a real estate hotspot for residential and commercial projects.

Famous for its eponymous bridge serving as a gateway to Kolkata, Howrah is one of the most important industrial and transportation hubs in West Bengal. It is little surprise that the city has attracted droves of real estate developers and investors.

Here are a few reasons that will convince you to join them:

Industrial hub of West Bengal:

Often dubbed the ‘Sheffield of the East’, Howrah boasts a long industrial and engineering history, housing over 40% of the state’s industries today.

The state government has invested in several infrastructural projects employing over 67,000 people, further expected to recruit 1.5 lakh people in the future.

Three industrial corridors have been set up in the state, and four industrial parks are proposed over the next three years.

Connectivity:

Howrah is connected to the Golden Quadrilateral via the Kona Expressway, encouraging trade and commerce from all over the country. It is well connected to Kolkata by road and rail and houses the largest railway station in India.

Howrah Railway Station connects Kolkata to all of eastern India, acting as a terminal for the Eastern and South-Eastern Railways. Connectivity has only improved with the recent inauguration of the Howrah Maidan–Esplanade Metro Line, the first underwater metro corridor in the country.

It is also relatively close to the Netaji Subash Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata, soon to be connected to the city via metro.

Infrastructure:

The city has a robust infrastructure of roads, bridges, and flyovers that lend it access to the entirety of Kolkata. Rapid industrial development and future projects in the pipeline, like the Hooghly Riverfront development, only add to its value.

The city boasts an array of reputed educational and healthcare institutions, recreational facilities, and shopping centers that ensure a well-balanced lifestyle for its residents.

The region of Santragachi is of particular interest, with its range of affordable housing amidst the lap of nature. It is also well connected to the city via Santragachi Bus Terminal and Railway station.

Pricing:

Compared to Kolkata, real estate offerings in Howrah are considerably cheaper, allowing owners to enjoy spacious homes at affordable prices.

Its proximity and connectivity to Kolkata make it a prime location for residential projects, and the rapid infrastructural development in the city is cause for rising price appreciation and demands in the real estate market.

These factors make the area the ideal choice for promising and long-term returns.

Make the most of this real estate goldmine with Joyville Western Heights: Howrah’s largest residential greenfield project!

Joyville Western Heights

Located near Santragachi, this gated community offers affordable 2 and 3 BHK flats in Howrah with a plethora of amenities, community spaces, and retail outlets that cater to your every comfort and need.
