Borivali East, Mumbai

Borivali East sits between the Western Railway line and Sanjay Gandhi National Park, whose main gate is in this part of Borivali. Kandivali East lies to the south and Dahisar East to the north, and the Western Express Highway runs through the middle. Pockets include Magathane, Devipada, Kajupada, Rajendra Nagar and Datta Pada.

The national park shapes life here. Morning walkers use its roads, the Kanheri Caves are inside it, and the eastern side of the locality has more green cover than most of suburban Mumbai. Housing is a mix of older co-operative societies close to the station and newer high-rise towers along the highway. Many buyers are families already living in the northern suburbs who want a larger home without leaving the area.

Metro Line 7 runs along the highway with stations at Magathane, Devipada, National Park and Ovaripada before ending at Dahisar East, where it meets Line 2A and the new Line 9 towards Mira Road. Borivali station is a major Western Railway stop where many fast trains start and end, which helps commuters find seats in the morning.

IndiProp lists 2 projects in Borivali East, both ready to move: Oberoi Sky City, where possession was due in June 2024 and homes were listed from ₹3.99 crore, and Rustomjee Summit, due in June 2023 and listed from ₹2.07 crore. Prices come from older listings and should be confirmed. The drawbacks are the long ride to south Mumbai and BKC, and highway traffic at peak hours.
