About Powai, Mumbai

Powai is located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, and is part of the Mumbai Central Suburbs region. It ranks 211th among 999 neighbourhoods in the city. Development has been steady, with 376 new launches introduced. Additionally, 21 projects are still under construction. The housing supply includes 361 societies ready for occupancy.


Buyers can choose from Apartment, Office Space, Shop, Villa, which account for 1244 apartments, 16 office spaces, 7 shops and 12 villas in the area. Apartments on their own make up around 94% of the sale-side supply, while offices, shops and villas appear far less often in listings. Currently, there are 1016 active sale listings, 2631 rental options, and 1319 resale properties.


In terms of pricing, the market reports an average sale price of ₹41,500 per sq. ft., with actual transactions often falling within the ₹27.5K to ₹56K per sq. ft. range, depending on the project. Rental demand remains stable, and prices typically range from 1 BHK to 4 BHK, with average asking rents close to ₹81 per sq. ft., reflecting the diverse housing options available in the area.


Infrastructure, Connectivity & Transport


Powai has two main arterial roads, Saki Vihar Road and Chandivali Lane, which serve as lifelines for residents and commuters. The busy Jogeshwari–Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) also passes nearby, and many travellers use this corridor to reach other parts of Mumbai, including Powai, Andheri, and Vikhroli. The Eastern Express Highway provides an alternative connection to Thane, South Mumbai, and beyond. Near Powai Lake, however, internal roads tend to narrow, slowing vehicle movement and causing frequent traffic jams, especially during morning and evening peak hours.


Public transport is fairly accessible. BEST buses run regular services, and auto-rickshaws are available at key junctions for last-mile travel. The nearby suburban train stations are Kanjurmarg and Vikhroli. Metro work is steadily progressing, with some stations under construction just outside the locality; once completed, the new line will offer faster east–west travel and lessen dependence on road transport.


For air travel, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is approximately 5–6 kilometres away. Late-night journeys to the airport are typically quick. Still, during the day, heavy traffic at the Saki Naka junction and on the JVLR often makes the trip significantly longer, despite ongoing flyover projects.


The area has strong social infrastructure and reputed schools such as Bombay Scottish School (Powai), Hiranandani Foundation School, and SM Shetty International School, which appeal to families. Major hospitals such as Hiranandani Hospital, Nahar Medical Centre, and SevenHills Hospital are within 3–6 km. Amenities such as DMart, Haiko Mall, and local markets make shopping easy. Business parks like Powai Business District and SEEPZ in Andheri attract professionals, supporting rental demand.


Despite the construction of new flyovers and road-widening projects, traffic remains slow near office clusters and residential pockets, reflecting the area’s rising population and the pressure on road networks.

I appreciate Powai via my own encounters. At this place, I have tidy streets and serene environs. Nearby hospitals, supermarkets, and schools fascinate me. Andheri and SEEPZ offices are closing. Often I relax near this area's lake. I really like it here. Traffic and high rents are what I confront.

My observations suggest premium demand, hence Powai is recommended. Since my recommendations center on security and vegetation, I keep it on top. In this neighbourhood, I find families enjoy views of Powai Lake and quiet roads. Nearby malls and cafes are very important to me. Still, I see traffic congestion and great costs needing improvement here.

Powai is where I live right now. I find this place appealing and exquisite. My everyday commute is through the Sakinaka metro station. My encounters with Hiranandani Gardens allow my family to live comfortably and safely. Fixing the high property taxes and the severe peak hour traffic are my recommendations. Life is quite high-end.

Owning a home in Powai makes me really content. I travel to Hiranandani Business Park very briefly. For children, I advise Hiranandani Foundation School. Checkups are best done at Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital. On weekends, I really enjoy eating at Joey's Pizza. The great traffic and lack of a close local station upset us profoundly.

For consistent value, I very much suggest Powai to customers. I emphasize IIT presence, respectable schools, and Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital. I list offices close to Powai and SEEPZ parks. I go over Metro expansion, LBS Marg, buses, and JVLR. I flag traffic pressure and insufficient parking that call for immediate repairs.

I really like Powai since life here seems to be in order. As a renter, I love simple daily needs, excellent society, and useful security. For business, I ride the metro, buses, and JVLR. Powai Lake is where I spend weekends. I see rents as exorbitant. I have difficulty parking and with traffic.

Being a Powai renter, I find great pleasure in the distinct, carefully arranged atmosphere this location offers. Particularly around Powai Lake and Hiranandani Gardens. It is my most most favorite aspect for evening walks living amid magnificent architecture with lots of trees. The vicinity to important IT parks and well-regarded colleges like IIT Bombay gives the area a cosmopolitan, high-quality neighborhood feel. Excellent access via My trip is made smooth by JVLR and Metro Line 6 coming soon. For a cozy life, the presence of premier hospitals, retail venues Galleria, and top schools seals the deal. Better traffic signal management and road maintenance, especially during the monsoon, would, however, considerably enhance the daily life in this otherwise flawless area.

Offering a really luxurious, self-sustained lifestyle within the central suburbs, Powai is an unmatched option for families as well as professionals. With IIT Bombay at its core and well-known commercial parks such Hiranandani, this region has turned into a center of commercial and residential activity guaranteed with steady demand and high rental yields. Residents relish the scenic Powai Lake, large greenery, and first-rate social infrastructure, including prestigious schools and Dr. L. H. Hiranandani Hospital. Connectivity is strong throughout JVLR, Eastern Freeway, and the approaching Metro Line 6. Although critical services abound, there is insufficient public parking. To manage the continuous expansion of the area, space around significant retail and food districts need repair. In Mumbai, Powai presents a premium, practical, environmentally friendly paradise.

I like living in this neighbourhood with my family. The kids love the Powai Lake, and the multiple green spaces and parks here. Also, the hubby is fond of the hill views, while I personally like the entire look and feel of the community. It also helps that both of us spouses have our offices in the locality itself. This has helped us create the right balance of wellness, work productivity, and family time, especially with two young children. Life couldn’t be better in this self-sufficient community; you won’t have to venture out for anything! I just wish they would fix the drainage issues, which leads to some waterlogging at times.

Powai is a 5-star locality. I am so happy that my father was one of the earliest to buy property in the neighbourhood, when not many people were sold by the dream tha the Hiranandanis were pitching! Cut to 2025 and it is one of the poshest locales in the city, with sky-high property prices, luxury projects, stunning views of the hills, and a flourishing IT and ITeS hub, with plenty of leading corporates, startups, and whatnot! Social amenities are excellent, the Powai Lake and other green spaces are abundant, and there’s no dearth of entertainment and recreation. Connectivity-wise, there are major roads nearby, but the Asalpha metro station is almost 30 minutes away. There is no direct metro station here. That’s the only issue.

I drive past Powai Lake in the morning and enjoy the view before meeting clients. Hiranandani Gardens and IIT Bombay provide a smart feel to the locality. Powai has several startups and office complexes, so employment opportunities and rentability are good. Infrastructure is good through JVLR, SEEPZ connectivity, Eastern Freeway and upcoming Metro Line 6. Malls, shops, hospitals and schools are near for personal requirements. The lake, parks and planted avenues provide genuine greenery and serenity. Premium prices but still affordable relative to South Mumbai for comparable space and facilities. Powai is my recommendation for professionals and families who desire convenience and community. Improvements needed are congestion during peak hours, and road and drainage maintenance during monsoon.

If you are looking for a place to settle down in Mumbai, Powai ticks all the boxes. Yes, it’s slightly costly, but you do get more value than in many other Mumbai localities. There is ample and abundant greenery and water bodies, plenty of local amenities, a peaceful ambience, and most importantly, the lovely hill views to savour each day. Many corporates like JP Morgan and others have set up offices here, along with several other leading startups. The JVLR is nearby, along with the Eastern Express Highway, and the LBS Marg. At the same time, the upcoming Metro Line 6 will have two stations in the area. This will boost the connectivity and area profile alike. Parking issues and traffic congestion are my only two woes; the rest is absolutely top-notch.

Powai is a whole new world, as I see it. The first thing that strikes you as you approach the area, is how calm and peaceful it is, when you enter the inner layouts. The views of the hills, the noticeable drop in temperatures at times, and of course, the pristine Powai Lake. It all makes for a fabulous environment to settle down and raise children. That’s what I did; it also makes sense since I work in the area itself. I walk or cycle to work, and save a lot of time in the process. Amenities-wise, Powai has everything you need, right from shopping centres and local markets to malls, schools, hospitals- you name it! I only wish the property rates were slightly more affordable, so that we could expand our apartment, but that’s about the only grouse.

Being an owner at Powai I just adore the cosmopolitan atmosphere and greenery, particularly the stunning hills. This location is the benchmark when it comes to connectivity, being close to the JVLR, Eastern Express Highway, and the soon to be launched Metro Line 6, making daily travels immensely convenient, particularly to vibrant IT and business hubs like Hiranandani Business Park. The housing complexes are luxury and well designed, and we have a high-quality lifestyle here, in addition to IIT Bombay and good schools being nearby. The safety and facilities are excellent, but the growing traffic jams during rush hours should be better managed in order to preserve our quality of life.

Powai is one of the finest areas to live in Mumbai. There is no two ways about it. My family was one of the first ones to buy into the Hiranandani Gardens, and life has been pretty smooth ever since. I do regret how I had to move out of Powai to the States some years back, although my wife and kids are still here, with a large part of my extended family, including aunts, uncles, and of course, my Mom. The views are stunning, you get actual hills in Mumbai, lots of greenery all around, that beautiful lake and walking trails, and of course, the well-planned societies with wide roads- life in Powai is always enjoyable. Lots of social infrastructure, including reputed schools, colleges, hospitals, and restaurants. So, I’ll give it a five-star rating, and I look forward to settling back here in the future. The only gripe I have is the traffic congestion, with the offices and IT hubs setting up here.
