2 Bedroom 800 Sq.Ft. Apartment in Borivali West Mumbai

Listing ID #9129354

Living in Borivali West feels great; it's a rare find in Mumbai since it mixes natural peace with urban comfort perfectly. The Sanjay Gandhi National Park is amazingly close by, therefore weekend nature excursions are simple. With the busy Borivali Railway Station and simple access to the Western Express Highway, plus future metro lines guarantee even better commutes, connectivity here is a significant benefit. Daily living is made simple by local markets and famous schools like Don Bosco High School. The major let-down, though, is the great peak-hour traffic congestion on Link Road and the inadequate control of dust and noise from current construction projects urgently in need of repair.

Borivali West provides a distinctive residential experience, expertly blending Mumbai's vitality with significant greenery thanks to its near proximity to Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Clients value the unmatched connectivity, which is based on the Borivali Railway Station, the Western Express Highway, and the new Metro Line 2A, which makes North Mumbai travel simple. Ensuring a full family life, this well-known neighborhood offers outstanding social infrastructure including top-notch hospitals like Don Bosco and great healthcare. High property demand here results in reliable investment returns and good rental yields. One little disadvantage to solve is the continual waterlogging in some low-lying spots during strong monsoon rains, which calls for enhancement of the drainage system. For a cosmopolitan, networked, and environmentally friendly existence in the Western Suburbs, it still stands out.

Personally speaking, Borivali West has everything that I want. The property prices are still fair, while the upcoming Line 9 access of the metro will further boost connectivity. Line 2A is accessible, along with the railway station and major roads. Of course, the green hubs in the locality are a key plus point, inclusive of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. You will also find schools, hospitals, markets, ATMs, and more in the vicinity. The entire I.C. Colony area also offers excellent infrastructure for modern living. The family-friendly and cosmopolitan nature of the area is another USP. One thing I would like to highlight is the traffic jams and the distance from the CBDs and South Mumbai.

I enjoy living in Borivali West, after having shifted here from central Mumbai. Yes, as strange as it may sound, I wanted some greenery and a better community feeling. I am happy to say that I got both these things in the neighbourhood. Yes, there is some power cut issues and waterlogging problems to fix. But I feel that is manageable. Which other place gives you the flexibility to reach Gorai Beach or the Sanjay Gandhi National Park whenever you’re down? Also, the connectivity and social infrastructure are top-notch, while multiple projects are also being built here.

See, I have grown up in this neighbourhood. So, I will give it a 5-star rating for sure, no matter what the shortcomings are, including waterlogging during the monsoons, occasional power cuts, and road noise. I like how safe the area is, how friendly the locals are, and how green the environment is, since we are quite close to the charming Sanjay Gandhi National Park. And which area will help you get to Gorai Beach quickly through a ferry and chill with your family? I take the railway station for my regular commutes, while sometimes the WEH and SV Road are ideal for driving. My children take the Metro Line 2A almost every day for their college and office journeys. The colonies here are vibrant and celebrate all the festivals together.

If you want the ideal balance of Mumbai life, I always say Borivali West. It's special in that we have great connectivity through the Borivali Railway Station, the Western Express Highway, and future metro connections, so traveling within the city is a breeze. It's a very livable place, secure, and with easy access to the huge Sanjay Gandhi National Park. We have very good social infrastructure in the form of Don Bosco High School and large hospitals in the vicinity. Yet, the area is very congested and thus suffers from intense traffic jams, and we badly need improved drainage management as waterlogging becomes a problem of serious concern on rainy days.

One good thing about Borivali West is that the Mumbai International Airport is not too far away. You can access it within at least 36-40 minutes, and that, for me, is a game-changer. I’ll also be honest that Borivali West still has that community feeling, which I find absent in many Mumbai localities. The area still has that culture of local markets, tea shops, and people having fun conversations. All the festivals are celebrated with great pomp and splendour, and of course, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park is only 10 minutes away. That, to me, is something noteworthy about the Borivali West area. My only concern is with the rampant construction that is leading to overcrowding in some parts of the neighbourhood.

Borivali West is indeed the gem of Western Suburbs. It's stunningly green because of its proximity to Sanjay Gandhi National Park, and the connectivity is excellent with the Borivali Railway Station as the hub, along with easy connectivity through the Western Express Highway and Link Road. We have great social infrastructure, with top-class schools and hospitals, and feel absolutely secure here with the police presence and peaceful roads. It's also relatively inexpensive for a prime Mumbai location, considering upcoming developments like the Thane-Borivali tunnel which will further enhance connectivity. The only significant improvement required is enhanced maintenance of the drainage system to entirely avoid waterlogging on low-lying pockets during the heavy monsoon days.

Borivali West is like having the best of both nature and city life. I adore being near Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Gorai Beach for weekend getaways. It's well connected with Borivali Railway Station, Western Express Highway, and SV Road in close proximity. Presence of schools such as Don Bosco High School and Mumbai High World School, and hospitals like Pearl Hospital, makes living a breeze and safe. Malls, markets, and restaurants provide convenience. Nonetheless, traffic during peak hours and occasional overpopulation of local markets require addressing. Nevertheless, Borivali West is perfect for families and working professionals searching for a green, well-connected, and vibrant suburb in Mumbai.

Positives: My stay in Borivali West was absolutely delightful as it combined Mumbai's urban accessibility with serene, green environs such as the adjacent Sanjay Gandhi National Park, my go-to weekend destination. The area was also very well networked, with the Borivali railway station as a hub on the Western Line and primary roads such as the Western Express Highway facilitating city travel. I was content with the availability of good quality amenities such as renowned schools like Don Bosco High School and hospitals like Apex Superspeciality. But the unregulated building activity occasionally made sounds and dust pollution, and I often noticed that older enclaves still faced waterlogging during the heavy monsoon months, which certainly required improved drainage measures.

Positives: I am so fortunate to have a house in this renowned, picturesque area. I believe it's the best of both worlds from the city life of Mumbai and the greens. Having the entrance of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park so close by is like our backyard, a huge respite from the concrete jungle. The connectivity is fantastic with the central railway station and the future metro plans making the travel so much quicker. We have excellent schools and hospitals. The only hitch, however, is the awful traffic jam on Link Road during rush hour. It is infuriating. We badly need better coordination of the construction going on to minimise dust and noise pollution.

Borivali West will always be a special and nostalgic place for me. I have grown up here and spent my childhood in the locality. I remember it as a clean and green area, and eventually I shifted out for college. My parents still stay here, and they are equally in love with the place, as they were before. The Sanjay Gandhi National Park is the main USP of the locality, and people here love visiting it whenever they can, especially on the weekends and holidays. Also, the railway station is another hub of activity. Staying in Borivali does feel a little isolated from the mainstream Mumbai life, but it is another world altogether. When it comes to negatives, I only have one thing to say, namely, the lack of cleanliness in some parts of the area. Power cuts are another issue; at least they used to happen when I lived here earlier.

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.
