1 Bedroom 411 Sq.Ft. Apartment in Malad West Mumbai

Listing ID #9205374

I resided here briefly and greatly enjoyed the practical mix of local life, beaches, and shopping with kind merchants and good local markets. I adored shopping in Inorbit and Infiniti malls as well as weekend excursions at Marve and Aksa. Malad station on the Western line, New Link Road, and the Western Express Highway nearby made daily life simple. Work trips were made easy by offices and coworking facilities around Goregaon. Numerous nearby hospitals and clinics guaranteed dependable healthcare. The area felt family-oriented and friendly. Although streets were active, most of them were safe. The simple access to beaches sunsets and many of cafés was my best. Parking and traffic management during peak times needed enhancement.

Getting around Mumbai is simple thanks to the local train station, a number of important roadways including the Western Express Highway, and excellent metro connections. Being near premier shopping malls like Inorbit Mall, many of restaurants and cafes, and hospitals and schools within easy reach gives me comfort. Spending evenings close to Marve,Aksa beaches and getting a bite on Link Road offers such diversity under one roof. I walk around safely even in the later hours as the neighbourhood is varied and welcoming. Should I have to choose one area for improvement, it would be cutting monsoon or peak hour traffic congestion and water-logging.

For its great urban ease and strong infrastructure, Malad West is a top destination in the Western Suburbs highly suggested. A great standard of living is ensured as this is a major business hub close to Mindspace IT Park with well-known retail areas like Inorbit and Infinity Mall. The Western Line provides great connectivity, and the upcoming Metro Line 2A will improve access to the airport and other areas of Mumbai. Strong rental returns and capital appreciation guaranteed by this combination of economic activity and first-rate social amenities including D.G. Khetan International School and several hospitals. The availability of readily available public transportation such cabs and cars, though, might be difficult during peak hours because of the great volumes. This area offers a wonderful combination of luxury and practical use.

Of course, how can I forget Malad West? It’s perhaps one of the best-connected locations in the city. For starters, you get the metro and railway connectivity, along with major roads, proximity to Mindspace and other leading IT parks, and of course, great social amenities. There are leading hospitals like Zenith and schools like Billabong High nearby, along with the Infiniti Mall and Inorbit Mall in the vicinity. There’s easy beach access (Marve and Aksa), along with several eateries and other vibrant local markets nearby. Yes, living costs have gone up, footpaths need to be cleared of vendors, and of course, waterlogging is still a concern. But, despite all these niggling issues, the area still remains a prime location in Mumbai.

Malad West is a peaceful yet well-connected area. I will give it full marks, since I live quite seamlessly here. The railway station and metro line are both accessible, while the major roads include New Link Road and SV Road. I also feel that the airport connectivity is very nice, since I can reach it within 12-15 km. Lifestyle-wise, all the amenities are easily accessible, including the popular Infiniti Mall, top restaurants, supermarkets, and more. I also love going to the Aksa Beach or Marve Beach on the weekends or weekday evenings to refresh my mind. This is one of the privileges of staying in the locality. The waterlogging issue during the monsoons needs fixing, since it is the only thing that the area suffers from.

Malad West captivated me with its strategic location. I found the railway station linked to the western line (which was ideal for me), while the Metro Line 2A was easy to access from my residential complex. Also, the SV Road, New Link Road, and other major roads are nearby, while I drove to the airport and found it was about 12-15 km away. There are several shopping malls in the surrounding zone, including the popular Infiniti and Inorbit malls. Zenith, Lifeline, and many other hospitals are easy to reach, along with many schools and colleges. And who can forget the appeal of watching sunsets at the lovely Aksa and Marve Beaches nearby? The Liberty Garden is also ideal for taking a stroll. The only problem I discovered here was the waterlogging in the monsoon and the constant traffic congestion.

My most liked locality for selling in Mumbai is Malad West since it actually provides a high-end lifestyle at a comparatively affordable price point when compared to South Mumbai. It helps to make it a very good value proposition for professionals and families. The connectivity is great, being connected by the Western Line and the New Link Road, and we have a large IT hub, Mindspace, in our vicinity itself, providing great job opportunities and business scope. In addition, the locality is surprisingly leafy and has great social infrastructure with malls such as Inorbit and well-known schools in the vicinity. Nevertheless, because of its popularity, the roads are severely congested, and we desperately require more efficient local transport to cater to the number.

Living in Malad West is a good idea, if you are into a quieter and more engaging lifestyle. For example, you will get that classic Mumbai feeling, since it’s got those older residential blocks, and that vibrant stretch of local markets. The coastline is accessible via the Marve Beach, which is accessible within 12-15 minutes by car. I love going here and watching the sunset or sunrise, whenever I can. Also, if you’re up for it, then the Juhu Beach is about half an hour away by car. The social amenities here are pretty decent, and the flat prices are still doable for many people, unlike some other Mumbai localities. The only thing I can say is that traffic congestion is something that the local authorities need to work on. The rest is absolutely fine.

My family and I had moved to Malad West more than a decade back, and it's the ultimate Western Suburbs living. Malad Railway Station, the New Link Road, and the planned Metro Line 2A we are connected to all things. We boast massive business parks like Mindspace right in our vicinity. Inorbit and Infinity Malls being there make things super convenient. Marve and Aksa beaches adds greenery and tranquillity. But for a locality as central and urbanized as this, the only significant change required is greater availability of public transport, as it is quite often a real challenge to get an auto or taxi during peak office hours in and around the station area due to congestion.

Life in Malad West is vibrant and convenient. I like being near to Inorbit and Infinity Malls, and weekend getaways to beaches such as Marve and Aksa. Accessibility is good with Malad Station, Western Express Highway, SV Road, and soon Metro Line 2A. Rejoice International and Infant Jesus schools, and hospitals such as Thunga and Zenith, so life becomes easy on a daily basis. Green parks and gardens offer a peaceful atmosphere in the midst of the busy city. Local shopping areas, eateries, and the IT park at Mindspace are vibrant additions. Traffic congestion and periodic waterlogging in rains need to be improved. Otherwise, Malad West is safe, energetic, and perfect for families.

Positives: It was an enriching experience living in Malad West. The locality provided a harmonious mix of urban convenience and coastal tranquility. I enjoyed the easy connectivity through the Western Express Highway and the Malad West Metro Station. The close proximity to popular shopping malls such as Inorbit Mall and Oberoi Mall were an added advantage, with plenty of retail and food options to explore. Schools and hospitals were easily accessible, promising a convenient lifestyle. But during the monsoon season, there was waterlogging on Link Road, which caused inconvenience. Moreover, the air quality index (AQI) would sometimes drop, making outdoor activities difficult. In spite of these small setbacks, Malad West continues to be a sought-after area.

Positives: We came to live in our apartment in this lovely location due to the region's amazing combination of convenience and lively life, and I completely believe that choice. I love how we're literally next to the Mindspace IT Hub, so my drive to work is extremely short, and the future Metro Line 2A will make traveling even more convenient all over the city. With prominent landmarks such as Inorbit and Infinity malls within walking distance, shopping and entertainment are never far from reach. We also appreciate the convenient drive to Aksa Beach for some weekend tranquility. The only apprehension I have is overcrowding and bad maintenance on the Link Road at some areas; it tends to waterlog quite often during heavy monsoons. It is certainly an issue which requires urgent attention from the municipal authorities.

This is the best locality to work

I mean, I absolutely love staying here. The Malad West area has always been beautiful. The Marve Beach, the gushing waves, sunsets, long walks, ferry rides to Gorai for the summer- these have been part of our lifestyle for as long as we remember. That’s the beauty of staying here. Yes, there is waterlogging and some roads need improvement, but that’s part of the game. And when you want the connectivity through metro and roads, it’s all there. Many celebrities also stay here, and the community is mostly family-friendly. What’s not to like? One more thing to add- the airport is actually not too far away!
