How is the demand for multistorey apartments in Goregaon?

Goregaon sees a high demand for multistorey apartments than residential properties. While there is a good demand for 1,3 and 4 BHK properties, the demand is high for 2 BHK properties, which means that the suburb is still popular with the middle-class. The area of a 1 BHK apartment ranges from 600 - 750 sq-ft while the area of a 2 BHK apartment is in the range of 700 – 1,300 sq-ft while for a 3 BHK apartment the area is between 1,000 – 2,100 sq-ft. The covered area for a 4/5 BHK apartment is between 2,020 - 2,890 sq-ft.

While the average price per sq-ft for a multistorey apartment in Goregaon (west) went up from Rs. 14,075 - 14,500 in the last quarter, it went down from Rs. 14,550 – 12,740 in Goregaon (east).

Goregaon was sparsely populated with localities such as Unnat Nagar, Shastri Nagar, Lokamanya Tilak Nagar and BEST Colony. With the housing boom, newer localities started developing with a constant increase in population density. Goregaon, which was once a middle-class neighbourhood has now transformed into a wealthy and posh suburb. New areas include Saibaba Complex, Yashodham, Oberoi Garden City and Amritvan.

Goregaon has very good road infrastructure and is well connected to other parts of Mumbai. The suburb has the Western Express Highway and Link Road passing through it. Goregaon has three major bus depots viz, Goregaon Bus Depot, Goregaon Bus Station and the BEST Bus Depot. The Goregaon railway station lies on the western line of Mumbai Suburban railway. The Mumbai International Airport is about 14 km from Goregaon and can be accessed via the Western Express Highway. There is currently no metro station here. However there is a metro station proposed in the Shastri Nagar locality during Phase III construction of Metro.

Since Goregaon is a neighbouring suburb to Powai, it is close to the Kensington SEZ as well as other business institutions in Powai. It is also about 18 km from the Bandra Kurla Complex which is a central business district (CBD).
