Mumbai, the nation’s financial centre, has long been home to some of India’s most sought-after and costly residences. But amid the city’s changing real estate market, Andheri has subtly become a significant hotspot in recent years. Positioned in the heart of Mumbai’s western suburbs, Andheri has become a magnet for homeowners, investors, and top developers alike. Experts in the field credit this rising appeal to a powerful combination of strong infrastructure, enhanced connectivity, and a growing selection of lifestyle options.
Strategically located between key business hubs and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Andheri is ideal for both daily commuters and frequent travellers. Its East-West connectivity is enhanced by Metro stations such as DN Nagar, Azad Nagar, and Andheri, while its accessibility to the Western Express Highway, Link Road, Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), Powai, and Goregaon further adds to its appeal. The suburb harmoniously blends modern amenities—like upscale shopping centres, fine-dining restaurants, cafés, and theatres—with traditional markets and long-standing residential neighbourhoods.
According to ANAROCK Property Consultants, western suburbs saw the launch of nearly 18,000 housing units in 2023, with Andheri contributing significantly due to its well-integrated residential, commercial, and retail infrastructure. From 2018 to 2025, the area has witnessed steady absorption rates, with over 7,000 housing units sold in 2023 alone—a testament to growing buyer confidence.
JLL India’s Residential Market Update 2024 highlights that Andheri East and West collectively saw more than 12,000 new units launched over the past two years. Renowned developers such as Lodha, Sheth, Oberoi, Kanakia, and Tribeca have launched premium projects in the area, enriching its residential offerings. While property prices in Andheri haven’t shown sudden spikes, consistent buyer interest reflects the suburb’s long-term investment value.
This rising demand has drawn the attention of DLF, one of India’s largest real estate developers. After more than a decade, the company is re-entering Mumbai’s market with a premium residential project in Andheri, developed in partnership with the Trident Group. The first phase of this development will span nearly one million square feet and feature spacious 3 BHK and larger apartments priced between Rs 6 crore and Rs 8 crore. Complete with high-end amenities and a signature DLF clubhouse, the launch is expected at the beginning of the current financial year.
Commenting on the development, Aakash Ohri, Joint Managing Director and Chief Business Officer at DLF, stated: “Mumbai is a strategic market for our continued growth. Post-COVID, real estate has emerged as a key investment avenue, with heightened demand for larger, premium homes. We aim to offer competitively priced, high-quality living spaces tailored to Mumbai’s discerning buyers while maintaining healthy margins.”
Adding to Andheri’s premium housing push is Tribeca, the licensed partner of Trump Tower in India. The company recently unveiled Trilive, India’s first dedicated rental housing development platform, with its debut project located in Marol, Andheri. Partnering with Starwing Group and managed by luxury co-living brand Housr, the development features 650 fully managed studios with minimalist interiors, private balconies, and premium facilities such as gyms, coworking spaces, and rooftop theatres. Trilive aims to offer attractive rental yields for investors and unmatched convenience for tenants.
Andheri still has chances for contemporary, carefully thought-out developments, in contrast to other areas of Mumbai that are limited by space. Its blend of modern appeal and old-world elegance draws a wide range of buyers, from established families looking to improve their quality of life to young professionals. Brokers report increased foot traffic at project openings, quicker deal closes, and a noticeable increase in prices per square foot. Andheri is quickly becoming the real estate story of the future of Mumbai thanks to continuous civic upgrades, metro network extensions, and a surge of well-planned projects.
