Positives: Proximity to Sanjay Gandhi National Park offers green spaces for recreation to residents. Well-developed infrastructure includes wide roads and easy access through the Borivali railway station. Educational establishments such as St. Francis D'Assisi and Don Bosco, and medical facilities such as Lotus and Apex hospitals, are added advantages of convenience. Retail outlets such as Zoom Plaza offer shopping malls that are easily accessible. Negatives: There is waterlogging in some areas of Borivali West during the monsoon, causing temporary discomfort. Moreover, though the area is safe, traffic jams at peak hours can prove to be a problem. All in all, Borivali West is still an attractive place for end users as well as investors.

Positives: One of the biggest plus points of staying here is how close you are to the lush green Sanjay Gandhi National Park. This does add a special touch to the look and feel of the locality. Also, there are many sightseeing places nearby which you can visit on the weekends. There is a strong community-oriented lifestyle here, along with very vibrant and active markets. The Western Express Highway and SV Road are accessible too, along with the dedicated railway station. Not much to complain about here. Negatives: The only thing that can be improved is the overall cleanliness of some stretches and also the power cuts that happen at peak times.

Positives: Having a flat here is actually fulfilling. We're a prosperous suburb, and the amazing connectivity is our greatest gain, courtesy of the Borivali railway station, Link Road, and Western Express Highway, making city traveling convenient. I also appreciate that the Sanjay Gandhi National Park lies in our backyard literally, providing a precious green lung in Mumbai. Along with good shopping at malls such as Raghuleela Mega Mall, and excellent schools nearby. Negatives: But the fast development here entails enormous headaches. The region is getting vastly congested, and that means heavy traffic jams. Furthermore, incessant, uncontrolled construction work creates considerable noise and dust pollution. It is our second major disadvantage we face everyday.

Positives: The most positive aspect of this place is the connectivity—it's properly connected by the Western Railway line, and with the soon-to-be-launched Metro Line 2, traveling around the city will be even more convenient. Day-to-day living here is extremely comfortable because everything is within reach. I also enjoy the greenery and space around; there are quite a number of parks where families can unwind and kids can play. The place is safe as well, with constant policing at night, and the residents here are friendly and hospitable. Negatives: The only minor problem is traffic jams during rush hour, but really, that comes with living in Mumbai. Overall, Borivali West provides me with a balanced lifestyle of comfort, safety, and convenience.

Positives: I never thought I would find such a combination of convenience and serenity until I shifted to Borivali West. I like living within a stone's throw distance from both Borivali Railway Station and Western Express Highway. For shopping and everyday needs, I depend upon Inorbit Mall and Market Yard, both within a minute's walk. Schools are near my children, and nearby hospitals offer good medical assistance. Here, the green surroundings are calmi just a distance away, providing morning walks and weekend getaways. Life here is made easy. Restaurants, cafes are all within reach, so I never feel too distant from anything I require. Negatives: I only wish the prices of the property were not a bit steep for first-time buyers, but aside from that, it's ideal for family living.

Positives I handle properties here, and I must say it's a well-developed suburb with quality residential options. I view Borivali station as making travel convenient, and local markets, malls, hospitals, and schools are all within reach. I observe a lot of contemporary flats and gated communities in addition to older structures, offering plenty of options to buyers. I use the nearby highways for quick travel to other areas of Mumbai. Green areas such as Sanjay Gandhi National Park are nearby. Such aspects I always mention such aspects to families. Rental demand remains constant, and I find this location suitable for both long-term occupants and investors. Negatives: Certain mature pockets continue to experience drainage problems in extensive rains. Thus, I suggest that one inspect the particular sector before making a purchase.

Positives: I stayed for some time in Borivali West and discovered it to be an even balance of city convenience and nature. The locality was well connected with Borivali West station being a hub station on the Western Line, while roads such as Link Road and Western Express Highway facilitated easy commuting. The presence of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park nearby provided a welcome green relief. Additionally, there were enough malls, schools, and hospitals at hand. Negatives: But there were a few negatives. Peak-hour traffic jams were a usual problem, and the locality tended to become very crowded. Moreover, construction work at times caused pollution in the form of noise and dust. Finally, although the area had access to many amenities, the cost of living there was fairly high.

Positives: I shifted here during the last december, and I feel the locality is my home. It has good connectivity by rail and road, with Borivali railway station on the Western railway, which makes it convenient to commute. Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Kanheri Caves are near, so I have weekend green walks. Gorai Beach and the Global Vipassana Pagoda are also within reach for weekend getaways. Local shops, schools, hospitals and shopping malls are accessible, and new residential projects provide options. Rents and selling prices are less compared to downtown Mumbai. Negatives Some worse experiences are peak-hour trains and station crowds are extremely busy. In addition, traffic on main roads and Link Road becomes crowded. Also, constant construction generates dust, noise and parking issues. In spite of these, the area is safe, family-oriented and convenient for everyday living.

Positives: As a resident of Borivali West, I absolutely adore the phenomenal connectivity of this suburb. It is a huge plus point. We're on the Western Line with a big railway station, and main roads such as Link Road and Western Express Highway facilitate travel easily. It's also an excellent, green locality close to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Gorai Beach. And we have good facilities like Lotus Hospital, Raghuleela Mall, and good schools like Don Bosco High School. Negatives: It is very busy and congested, resulting in severe traffic jams, particularly on main roads. A few of the roads also see potholes and waterlogging during the monsoons, which is annoying. Also, the round-the-clock, unregulated construction work results in noise and dust pollution.
