Khopoli

Should You Buy in Khopoli? Our Honest View

Khopoli is an industrial town in Raigad district, at the base of the Bhor Ghat where the road and railway climb from the Konkan up toward Lonavala and Pune. It is the last station on the Central Railway's suburban line on this side, and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the old Mumbai-Pune highway both pass close by. The Patalganga river, the waterfalls of the ghats and a ring of green hills give the town a scenic setting, while factories and power plants around it give it a working character.

Our honest view is that Khopoli offers practical road and rail access with the feel of a smaller town. Markets, schools, clinics and the railway station are already in place, and the expressway makes both Mumbai and Pune a manageable drive. Larger planned projects nearby have drawn buyers looking for second homes and land. The drawbacks are long travel times to Mumbai by train, limited specialist healthcare and some industrial traffic on the main roads.
