Manpada

About Manpada

Manpada is a neighbourhood on the eastern side of Dombivli, along the Kalyan–Shil Road, in the Kalyan-Dombivli municipal area. Once a stretch of villages and open land between Dombivli and the Shil Phata junction, it has grown quickly into one of the busiest new housing belts in the Thane district, with large townships, gated societies and shops lining the main road.

Buyers are drawn here by the space and amenities that large projects can offer, and by the road link to Navi Mumbai and the new airport through Shil Phata. Dombivli's established schools, hospitals and markets are a short drive away, so families moving in still have the support of a mature town close by.

Manpada should not be confused with the Manpada area on Ghodbunder Road in Thane West; this page covers the Dombivli East side along the Kalyan–Shil Road.

Livability Assessment by RealtyPromoo

Strengths: large townships with open space and amenities, good road links to Navi Mumbai and the new airport, Dombivli's schools close by, and more space for the money than areas nearer Mumbai.

Drawbacks: heavy traffic on the Kalyan–Shil Road at peak times, the railway station is a drive rather than a walk, and metro links are still in the planning stage.

Nearby Alternatives

• Dombivli East: the older town area closer to the station.
• Palava: large township further along the same road.
• Kalyan East: neighbouring area with many new projects.
• Shil Phata: junction area towards Navi Mumbai.
