Chembur, Mumbai

Positives: Chembur is with great connectivity through the Monorail, Eastern Freeway, and Santacruz Chembur Link Road. It has well rated schools like St. Gregorios and Loreto Convent, as well as well known hospitals like Shree Hospital and Chembur Nursing Home. The city is sprinkled with parks and recreational areas, making it a good place for families. In addition, Chembur boasts a strong cultural heritage, with active communities and festivals like Durga Puja hosted with vigor. Negatives: While having many strengths, Chembur also struggles with issues such as excessive traffic jams during rush hours, particularly around main junctions and markets. Moreover, locals have complained of periodic foul smells from nearby industrial processes, creating issues about air purity.

Positives: Chembur is one of the most historic areas in Mumbai, in my opinion. I have always lived here, and naturally, when more space was needed, I invested in the same neighborhood. RK Studios is one of the biggest landmarks that defined the area, although a star residential project has now come up on that land. The Mumbai Metro Line 2B could benefit the area in the future, while you can also access the SCLR, Eastern Freeway, and Chembur railway station for connectivity. Social amenities are very well-developed here indeed. Negatives: Parking space is the biggest problem, in my opinion. I feel there should be more spaces clearly demarcated by the authorities.

Positives: The first time I jumped off a local train at Chembur, I experienced its friendly, lived-in feel. I appreciate the great connectivity, Harbour Line trains and the Monorail begin here, and new metro and road connections are enhancing east-west travel. There are good schools, hospitals, parks, malls and increasing quality housing complexes here. I also appreciate nearby temples, community centres and fast bus connections to work. Local restaurants, bakeries and eateries make life convenient daily, and the neighbourhood feels secure. Negatives: I have experienced some occasional seasonal waterlogging during the heavy monsoons that can prolong commutes. But I truly say, Chembur provides me with space, convenience and a congenial neighbourhood, and my evening strolls in the park are a daily pleasure.

Being a renter in Chembur is absolutely wonderful because it combines modern comfort with vintage appeal. This set neighbourhood a mix of green areas and energetic community life always makes me feel secure. The excellent connectivity provided by the Monorail and the Eastern Freeway is the finest benefit my trip to business centres is really smooth. Providing top-notch hospitals such as Zen Multi Speciality and outstanding services including the Bombay Presidency Golf Club. For fast errands, my favourite place is the local market region close to Chembur Railway Station. The main field that has to be fixed is, nevertheless, the community's fight with peak-hour traffic congestion and a noticeable rise in air pollution.

Prized for its great central location and established social network, Chembur is a really sought-after residential neighbourhood in the Harbour area. This location appeals to customers for its amazing multimodal connectivity including the Chembur Railway Station, the Monorail, the Eastern Freeway, and direct BKC access, therefore making it a commuter's dream. Good educational establishments and green spaces such the Bombay Presidency Golf Club provide great lifestyle attraction. Rental yields are strong all the time, guaranteeing good returns on investment properties given the great demand from experts and families. Although connectivity is excellent, sporadic waterlogging in low-lying locations during the severe monsoon season is a persistent point for improvement. For its consistent development, established sense of community, and superb access, I very much suggest Chembur.

Chembur is one of the top places to live in Mumbai, at least in my opinion. I am really fond of this peaceful yet well-connected neighbourhood. In fact, you will find everything at hand, including the monorail network, railway line, Eastern Freeway, SCLR, BKC Connector, and many other key roads. So, commutes and daily travel in the city are a lot easier due to the connectivity quotient. This is one of the best secrets about Chembur; it is hugely livable due to connectivity and good amenities. However, the water supply shortage is something that the authorities should fix promptly to make life easier for all of us.

If I am to be honest, Chembur is one of the best-connected localities in Mumbai today. I have grown up here, and know how people from the so-called SoBo used to think that it was so far and beyond the realms of the city. Today, look how multiple luxury residences and projects are being built by top developers (even RK Studios has given way for a premium project), how the social amenities have come up, and how the property prices reflect Chembur’s current posh status. The city’s first monorail line starts from here, while the Harbour Line railway (both connected by a skywalk) is another lifeline. The SCLR, BKC Connector, Eastern Freeway, and other major roads also make commuting pretty seamless. We still have those green-lined streets that make the area such a pleasure to walk around in. The only issue is the water supply, but that can be fixed.

I reside and sell houses here and I adore its combination of old neighborhood character and new development. The location has good connectivity with monorail, several railway stations and quick connectivity to Eastern Freeway and Santacruz-Chembur Link Road. Forthcoming metro lines increase convenience and drive demand. Families enjoy the parks, seafront areas and mature schools and hospitals in the vicinity. Prices are moderate relative to South Mumbai, and tenants get good rental yields. New high-rise residential buildings and expanding commercial areas result in quality services and greater employment opportunities. Roads are generally broad but congested during peak hours. I heartily recommend Chembur for well-balanced city life. Two areas for improvement are localized monsoon floods and drainage, and recurring traffic jams in major junctions.

You know, Chembur is not the same anymore. It has developed quickly over the years. Multiple leading players like Godrej and all have come up with some luxurious projects here. Property prices have gone up, and people like me, who have invested here two decades earlier, are now reaping the benefits! Otherwise also, it has grown tremendously as a livable micro market, with shopping centres, restaurants, good hospitals nearby, and even quick access to the airport in about 30-35 minutes. I also like the cosmopolitan atmosphere in the area, especially the Shell or Sindhi Colonies, which are home to diverse populations. Agreed, traffic jams have gone up, but the area still retains its quaint appeal for us old-timers.

Chembur area has such a mature, calm community atmosphere compared to the newer suburbs. Strategically located as it is, in the center, it boasts amazing connectivity through the Harbour Line, Monorail, and the Eastern Freeway, making it super quick to reach business districts like BKC. We adore the parks, particularly the Bombay Presidency Golf Club and others, which serve as a peaceful refuge and maintain the area's air relatively fresh. We also enjoy excellent social infrastructure with lots of reputable schools and hospitals in close proximity. One of the most important infrastructural upgrades that require continuous attention is the deplorable status of some of the roads, which have potholes and lead to unnecessary traffic troubles.

For someone with family in Chembur and who has spent half her life in Chembur, this review is going to be pretty emotional. So, firstly, I’ve always been attracted to how clean and spacious the whole place was, a stark contrast to many places in Mumbai Central, and all. Then there was the appeal of the RK Studios, and the feeling that so many historic movies have been shot here. Ghatkopar and its now-metro station are both accessible from here, and I hear that there will be more metro extensions here in the future. Also, the Bombay Presidency Golf Club is a major landmark here, where my dad used to tee off regularly. The local train network is pretty strong here, with the BEST buses also available, and the Mumbai monorail too. My only issue was the traffic congestion at the access point.

When I shifted to Chembur years back, I was impressed with how aptly the suburb weaves city life and peaceful residential pockets. I reside here as a tenant, and I strongly recommend it. Connectivity is high through Chembur railway station, monorail, and roads that connect Eastern Express Highway, Sion, Kurla, and the airport. Schools, hospitals, malls such as Star Mall, parks and restaurants are nearby. Gated communities provide security, and greens such as Bombay Presidency Golf Club are a bliss. The location remains busy but quiet. Roads and sewage can be improved, and waterlogging during monsoon should be better for smoother living.

Positives It was a pleasure living in Chembur. The area is well connected with the Chembur railway station of the Harbour line and the Monorail station offering easy connectivity to all parts of Mumbai. Being close to important roads like the Eastern Freeway and Santacruz-Chembur Link Road adds to the convenience of commuting. Chembur has a mix of amenities, ranging from shopping malls such as Star Mall and Cubic Mall to several restaurants and recreation areas like the Bombay Presidency Golf Club. There are good educational institutions and healthcare centers in the locality as well. Nevertheless, the area suffers from issues like regular power outages and waterlogging during monsoon rains.

Positives: I reside here in an apartment. I love its ideal balance of convenience and peace. My apartment is near Chembur railway and metro stations, so traveling around Mumbai is convenient. The locality has good schools, hospitals, malls such as R-Mall, and many parks for morning walks. New residential societies are well developed with state-of-the-art facilities. Local shops and food stalls simplify daily life and keep it vibrant. Roads are better, and the people around here are friendly. I am happy and comfortable living here. Just a little more traffic management and slightly better street cleanliness in certain areas would be all it takes to make it even more perfect. I have to say this area is a very convenient and well-connected place to live.

Chembur is a locality that I am proud of living in. One of the biggest advantages is that the Line 2B is coming here for the metro network. This will raise the property values of the area, and I am already happy with how it has gone up. Earlier, this was a neglected pocket in the Mumbai suburbs, with only the RK Studio attracting some people. Today, there are all these luxury projects by reputed developers, all these new cafes and restaurants, and a very good social infrastructure plan. I can also access the SCLR and Eastern Freeway easily, and in fact, this was always the strength of the locality for the past decade or so.
