Dahisar West

About Dahisar West

Dahisar West is the last suburb on the western side of Mumbai city before the boundary with Mira-Bhayandar. It is a settled, largely residential area of housing societies, bungalow lanes, markets and newer towers, bounded by the Dahisar river and the creek and mangroves towards the west.

The area has a calmer pace than Borivali next door while sharing most of its facilities. Redevelopment of older buildings has brought in a steady supply of new homes, and the metro has made the daily commute to Andheri and beyond far easier than it was a few years ago.

Connectivity

• Rail: Dahisar station on the Western line serves the area, with Borivali one stop south for fast trains.
• Metro: Metro Line 2A runs along the Link Road from Dahisar towards DN Nagar in Andheri, and Metro Line 7 runs along the Western Express Highway on the east side.
• Roads: New Link Road and SV Road run north–south; the Western Express Highway and the Dahisar check naka give access to Mira Road, Thane via Ghodbunder Road and the Mumbai–Ahmedabad highway.
• Airport: the international airport is reached via the highway; travel time depends heavily on traffic.

Social Infrastructure

• Schools: many established state board, ICSE and CBSE schools across Dahisar and Borivali.
• Hospitals: private hospitals and nursing homes in Dahisar and Borivali, with larger multi-specialty hospitals in Borivali and Kandivali.
• Shopping: local markets around the station, plus malls and high-street shopping in Borivali.
• Workplaces: local business is mostly retail and services; most residents commute to Malad, Goregaon, Andheri and BKC.

Livability Assessment by RealtyPromoo

Strengths: metro and rail both close at hand, a quieter residential feel, good schools and markets, and easy road access north towards Mira Road and Thane.

Drawbacks: it is a long way from south Mumbai and BKC, the check naka area gets congested, and some low-lying lanes near the river see waterlogging in heavy rain.

Nearby Alternatives

• Borivali West: larger, better-known suburb with fast trains and more shopping.
• Dahisar East: similar setting across the tracks, closer to the national park.
• Mira Road: just across the city limit, with more new towers.
