Mumbai has been a hot
property destination for several years. People having a property in this mega
city have been looked at with envied eyes. Such is the magnetic attraction of
this city that people have flocked to its shores and settled down for good. The
city as a whole is well developed, but there are certain pockets of the city
which are highly coveted from a residential point of view. The Southern end of
the city is one such area that comes to mind. But, over the years, other areas
of the city have stood out for a variety of reasons and have provided people
more options to play with. Powai is one such destination. Let us look at some
of the factors that make it the perfect housing destination.
Situated in the middle
of the Eastern and the Western suburbs, Powai is an important area which was
primarily a middle-class residential neighbourhood which has transformed into an
elite one. Though it wasn’t fancied earlier due to connectivity issues, the
tide slowly turned in its favour and this has resulted in it becoming a favoured destination.
Earlier, the property in the vicinity of Powai
was considered as too far and sparsely populated to be considered as
residential destination. The beautiful Powai lake and IIT Bombay were its only
popular landmarks. But, as the years passed by, well known eateries and clubs
came along as residential projects sprung up. This resulted in Powai getting
noticed by the population of the city. The suburb further expanded with the
housing boom. Major real estate developers also started their projects here,
and capitalized on this opportunity.
This ultra urban town
enjoys a rather advantageous position in terms of accessibility, being as it
lies between the Eastern and the Western suburbs. Due to its proximity to major
industrial centers like SEEPZ and other commercial centers, schools and major
workplace hubs, there has been high demand for property in Powai. The fact that it has become the heart of startup
activity in the city has seen young businessmen making a beeline to buy
property in this suburb. Along with these factors, it is a natural haven and
thus attracts those having an inclination towards nature.
The unending list of
reasons has given a boost to property in this place. With everything going for
it, it is likely that this reason will continue to attract investors even in
the distant future.
