Khopoli

Should You Buy in Khopoli? Our Honest View

Khopoli is a town in Khalapur taluka of Raigad district, at the foot of the Bor ghat on the way from Mumbai to Pune. It sits along the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the old Mumbai-Pune highway, and it is the last station on the Mumbai suburban Central Railway line from Karjat. The town has an industrial base, with many factories in the Khopoli and Khalapur belt, and is known for the Patalganga river, nearby waterfalls and its position just below Lonavala and Khandala.

Our honest view is that Khopoli suits buyers looking for a second home, a retirement home or a long-term holding between Mumbai and Pune. The hills and greenery are a draw, and the expressway makes weekend trips simple. Daily commuting to Mumbai is long, so it works best for people who work locally, work from home or only travel occasionally. Larger hospitals and colleges are mainly in Panvel, Navi Mumbai or Pune.

Who It Suits

• Mumbai and Pune families looking for a weekend or holiday home near the hills.
• Retired buyers who want a quieter town with greenery and a moderate climate.
• People working in the Khopoli, Khalapur and Patalganga industrial areas.
• Long-term buyers looking at the Mumbai-Pune corridor.
