Kalyan West

About Kalyan West

Kalyan West is the western half of Kalyan, one of the oldest towns in the Mumbai region and an important railway junction on the Central line. The area mixes an old town centre around the station and the Durgadi fort with newer residential belts along the Kalyan–Bhiwandi road, the Khadakpada side and the road towards Titwala.

Buyers come to Kalyan West for larger homes than they could afford closer to Mumbai, good rail links and a full range of daily facilities. In recent years many large gated projects have come up here, bringing modern amenities to a town with deep local roots.
