Sahar

Should You Buy in Sahar? Our Honest View

Sahar is the Andheri East neighbourhood that wraps around Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, including the area along Sahar Road leading to Terminal 2. It is a mix of older villages and gaothans, hotels, offices, cargo and aviation businesses, and residential societies. Few areas in the city put you this close to the airport and to the commercial belt of Andheri East.

The case for buying here is convenience. The Western Express Highway, the Sahar Elevated Road, the Andheri-Kurla Road and the JVLR are all close, Metro Line 1 runs through Andheri East with stations such as Chakala and Airport Road, and Andheri station is a short drive. Offices in Marol, Chakala, MIDC Andheri and the hotel belt along Sahar Road employ a large workforce. The drawbacks are aircraft noise in some pockets, heavy traffic at junctions, and height limits near the airport that shape what can be built. Living here suits people who value time saved over open space.

Who It Suits

• Frequent flyers and aviation, hospitality and logistics professionals.
• People working in Andheri East, Marol, Chakala or the MIDC office belt.
• Buyers who want metro access on the Versova-Ghatkopar line.
• Investors looking at rental demand from airport and office staff.
• Families already settled in Andheri East who want to stay close.
