Ratings & Reviews of Andheri West, Mumbai

Positive

Andheri West's buzzing, small life and simple access to everything I appreciated during my brief stay. Streets felt active but safe. My go-to weekend destinations were the Versova cafés and shopping lanes of Lokhandwala. For sunset strolls, I frequently drove to Juhu beach. DN Nagar metro, Metro Line 2A/7 corridors, Andheri railway, and Western Express Highway nearby provided for easy daily commutes. Many coworking facilities, corporate headquarters and studios abound around the neighborhood, thus job was nearby. There were several hospitals and clinics available, hence medical care was quick. Local markets and malls catered to daily needs. Neighbours were warm. My living was both secure and pleasant. One area requiring enhancement was daytime traffic and roadside parking control on major routes during rush hours.

Positive

Having been Andheri West resident, I like its easygoing atmosphere. My trip has been made so much easier due to the Mumbai Metro Line 2A; the mainline station and major roads mean I am never far from anywhere. Walking around the neighbourhood, particularly in areas like Lokhandwala and Versova, I feel secure with numerous schools, hospitals, and malls are nearby, which is really reassuring. The combination of chilled-beachy Versova evenings and the vibrant market shopping in the daytime is what appeals to me most. The only thing I would change is the drainage and road-condition under severe rains; the area copes with day-to-day very effectively but the monsoon may get sloppy.

Positive

Andheri West is highly suggested. With fast connections to Juhu and the airport, metro and suburban rail access, this western neighborhood provides premium living. Life is made easy by upscale eateries, exciting nightlife, boutique stores, good hospitals and reputable schools. The corporate and entertainment presence supports a high demand for rentals. Average rent is about ninety to one hundred rupees per square foot, whereas average sale price is roughly thirty-eight thousand five hundred rupees per square foot. Three to five percent gross yields are typical. Steady appreciation is driven by new amenities and redevelopment. One area to work on is preservation of seaside green belts and increased public parks. I support it among the best choices.

Positive

Positives: Andheri West is by far the best Mumbai rental place I have used. Having the Versova Metro and Andheri station so close helps my daily journey very smooth since the connectivity is excellent. Furthermore, the Lokhandwala Market, top restaurants, and shopping like Infinity keep the region bustling around every day. One great bonus is finding nearby premium hospitals and institutions such as Kokilaben. Living here is truly a lively and safe neighborhood.

Negative

Negatives: Managing trip times is absolutely critical given the severe peak evening traffic congestion. Finding appropriate guest parking is also a major problem here. Limited room abounds in most homes and streets, therefore difficult when family or guests arrive.

Positive

Positive: Selecting Andheri West was a no-brainer due to its phenomenal location and social hotspot status, particularly for working professionals. The Versova–Ghatkopar metro rail and Andheri railway station enabled quick and easy travel through the city. Around-the-clock essential services abounded with Kokilaben Hospital and St. Louis Convent School within reach, as well as the bustling Lokhandwala market for all essentials.

Negative

Negative: There were some old sections of the area that had extremely poor waste management, such that garbage built up on some of the roads. In addition, there was the ever-present problem of illegal parking along most areas, which caused a considerable reduction in road space for vehicles and pedestrians.

Positive

See, I feel that Andheri West is arguably a perfect place to stay. There are multiple housing options here, while we also love hanging out at the Infiniti Mall nearby. Multiple restaurants, boutiques, malls, theatres, and other entertainment zones are nearby, which ensure a great lifestyle. Also, there are many reputed schools and healthcare centres nearby, while the Metro Line 1, railway station, and major roads make it a well-connected area as well. The SEEPZ and MIDC are also pretty accessible, while the airport is nearby. Apart from the poor drainage system, there’s a lot to like about this locality.

Positive

Andheri West feels like a movie hub, with Yash Raj Films and many other media companies situated here. Also, the nightlife and recreation circuits are pretty well-developed in Andheri West. So, you’ve got all the pubs, eateries, cultural hangouts, and more. Prithvi Theatre is nearby, while Link Road is home to several malls and shopping centers. Versova Beach is also nearby, while all other social amenities are readily available. I find it a great place to stay in Mumbai, with all the facilities at my fingertips.

Negative

Waterlogging is a key issue in the neighbourhood. This has to be promptly fixed by the authorities to prevent vehicle damage.

Positive

Positives: Andheri West is my place of residence and I chose this place due to the excellent Western Line railway connectivity and then Metro Line 1, which makes commuting throughout Mumbai so convenient. The area is replete with emergency hospitals such as Criticare and Nanavati. The best thing about it is the cosmopolitan culture and newly accessible beaches around Versova.

Negative

Negatives: The atrocious parking conditions and the growing lack of available space. The streets are always gridlocked with traffic and illegally parked cars, which requires some urgent attention. Also, although the Metro is excellent, I often lose mobile phone signal when I'm underground, which is a big issue when urgent requirement is needed.

Positive

Positives: My family and I have been renting in Andheri West for years. Its accessibility is unmatched with the Metro Line 1 and Andheri Railway Station, which makes my daily commute extremely convenient. I walk freely at night because it has well-lit streets. My personal favourite is the high lifestyle quotient, with Lokhandwala Market, Versova Beach, and Infiniti Mall nearby.

Negative

Negatives: Traffic snarls, particularly at peak hours, and parking is always a squeeze. I am seriously worried about the creaky drainage system because waterlogging, especially during the monsoon at the Andheri subway, becomes really bad and requires immediate attention. Improved waste management on some of the inner roads is another area I really want the BMC to mend.

Positive

If you want to stay in a glamorous neighbourhood, then Andheri West is definitely for you! I love how it makes me feel like staying in an exclusive area, with so many movie and television celebrities staying here. There is the posh Lokhandwala zone and its bustling Lokhandwala Market, which is a wonderful place to shop and spend time. You can take the Mumbai Metro Line 1 and major roads like SV Road and WEH for your commute. Public transportation facilities, cafes, restaurants, pubs, and shopping malls everything you need is available at your fingertips. My only issue is the potholed roads in some stretches; it does not go well with such a premium locality.

Positive

Positives: I love living in Andheri West, and I can say it has an urban city feel. It is near business districts, shopping roads, and entertainment areas. Metro, local trains, and buses facilitate ease of travel. I like parks and avenue trees for walking in the evenings. Lots of young professionals and families like to rent here due to connectivity and lifestyle. Restaurants, malls, and hospitals are easily accessible.

Negative

Negatives: I do have a few areas that could be improved. Roads become clogged during rush hour and parking spaces are scarce. Some inner lanes are rough and in need of maintenance. Some commercial sections get noisy late at night. Despite that, I gladly suggest Andheri West for its vibrancy and central location.

Positive

Andheri West has become a very posh area in the recent years. This has a lot to do with the fact that it is home to several premium real estate projects. Also, you can reach the Versova Beach in less than 10 minutes, while the WEH and SV Road are both accessible from here. You can easily reach the international airport without breaking a sweat, while the metro access is also readily available. So, connectivity and commute-wise, there are very few areas in Mumbai with this kind of infrastructure. Social amenities are also top-class, since you can easily access the prime Lokhandwala Market, malls, schools, hospitals, and whatnot!

Negative

There are two main problems with Andheri West. The first one is waterlogging, which happens every year, while the second one is the potholed roads that make driving through the area slightly nightmarish.

Positive

I start my day in Andheri West and like its busy, mid-town feel. Lokhandwala, Versova and Juhu are just around the corner so locals have shopping, cafes and beaches within easy drives. DN Nagar Metro and the Metro 2A, 7 corridor provide quick reliable connections throughout the western suburbs. The Western Express Highway and local transport make city and airport travel convenient. Andheri West is home to numerous offices, studios and shopping centers so jobs available. Schools, hospitals and malls are within walking distance. Tree-lined roads and tiny parks bring nature to congested streets. The prices are high but worth it by location and amenities. I would suggest Andheri West for professionals and families seeking city life. Two areas for improvement are congestion due to heavy traffic and parking demand.

Positive

Andheri West is a dream place to stay in, if you’re looking for connectivity, lifestyle, and convenience, in that order. Metro, railway, major roads, highway- everything you want is within the area itself. Also, the airport is close by, and so are the top hospitals like Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani, Seven Hills, etc. There are many reputed schools and colleges in my neighbourhood, while I love shopping and dining at the nearby Fun Republic Mall. Also, the Lokhandwala Market is nearby, and you will simply love the bustling vibe here. Everything you want is available at your fingertips here.

Negative

I think that the authorities should work on removing the road potholes and fixing the waterlogging problem. One more thing- the Andheri railway station is hugely crowded every day. This should be looked into by the civic authorities.

Positive

Andheri West is ideal for those who are looking for a high-quality lifestyle in Mumbai. It has excellent connectivity to the airport (just 20 minutes away) and, of course, the Mumbai Metro Line 1. This connects Versova and Ghatkopar, along with many other places. At the same time, the SV Road and the WEH are major thoroughfares that I use regularly to commute to my workplace. The Andheri railway station is another connectivity hub in the area. I find it to be one of the best-connected Mumbai neighbourhoods, even today. Of course, it’s got a bustling film and television crowd as well, with YRF, Balaji, and many other studios located here. So that adds a unique vibe to the place.

Negative

My only issue with Andheri West is that the potholes can not only aggravate the traffic congestion problem, but also lead to mishaps at times.

Positive

See, I really love living in Andheri West. I mean, the lifestyle that I get here is absolutely top-class! Who does not like the short drive to the Versova Beach from here? It’s just like 5-6 minutes from where I stay. Hence, it’s my everyday jogging spot in the morning. I also like doing some yoga on the beach, whenever I can. In the evenings, I often go there to hang out with my friends, taste the local street food, and basically watch the sunset. This is one of the biggest privileges of life, and of course, being able to stay within 20-25 minutes of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is another privilege. I don’t have to worry about traffic jams and flight misses! That’s my takeaway, and the rest is all fine.

Positive

I've had my property in Andheri West for fifteen years now, and the active, central location is really unbeatable. The fantastic east-west connectivity via Metro Line 1 and heavy traffic roads such as Link Road and SV Road makes travelling just effortless. The whole locality is a bustling hotbed for the entertainment and IT sectors, offering massive professional potential right at our doorstep. With good schools and large malls such as Infinity, all facilities are easily accessible and the area is very secure. For our future quality of life, the principal change required is a lasting solution to the bad drainage system that unfortunately leads to waterlogging on major stretches during the wet monsoon.

Positive

I did like my time in Andheri West, although I moved out for certain personal reasons. The Andheri railway station is present here, while I used to access both the southern and northern parts of Mumbai from the locality. The Metro Line 1 station is also there now, while Line 2A will be helpful for linking to Dahisar East from DN Nagar. Both the SV Road and the WEH can be accessed from here, while the airport’s domestic and international terminals are also pretty nearby. So, connectivity-wise, it’s a dream locality to stay in. There are plenty of studios here, along with nightlife options, retail stores, malls like the Citi and Infinity Mall, and several top educational and healthcare institutions. Several parks and green zones are also here, along with access to the Versova Beach, which used to be my hangout spot. The only drawback is the heavy traffic and the potholed roads.

Positive

Positives: We have been residents around Versova for centuries, and Andheri West is the hub of all. With Metro Line 1, the Western Express Highway, and the Andheri Railway Station, reaching any office center, such as BKC or SEEPZ, is convenient. It's lively, secure, filled with wonderful restaurants, shopping malls, and high-end hospitals like Kokilaben. This place is surely the ideal mix of residential life and Mumbai's legendary energy.

Negative

Negatives: Tthe traffic jams during rush hours are quite a headache and bring everything to a halt. Also, the drainage system requires a major improvement, since waterlogging in heavy monsoons occurs frequently in low-lying areas. Finally, waste management on certain inner roads could be significantly improved.

Positive

Positives: I am so fortunate to have an apartment here at Andheri West. The Metro Line 1 and Andheri Station facilitate travel so easily, and the proximity of the iconic Versova Beach and the trendy Lokhandwala Complex gives it an unbeatable lifestyle. Great medical centers like Kokilaben Hospital and the ease of access to the entertainment center really make this place so sought after.

Negative

Negatives: But, I wish the continuous vertical expansion of new towers were planned a bit better. The old water and sewage pipes, is creaking under the pressures of the fast growing population. And we must also correct the defective drainage system as some places still retain rain water too much during the monsoons.
