A purchase budget of Rs 80 lakh can get you from a compact 1 BHK flat in most of the decent middle class localities of south Mumbai to 2 BHK flat in most of the developed suburbs western as well as central. Certain pockets of Khetwadi,Grant Road,Fort,Tardev,Girgaum,Prarthana Samaj etc may offer a compact or a converted 1 BHK flat in some old building in a lane at this price. says Sandhyaben,a local broker. It is impossible to get any thing in areas with better status. In fact the flat I refer would be a distress sell than the regular availability. One will have to compromise on status and infrastructure etc, adds Sandhyaben.
In central Mumbai,areas such as Mahalakshmi,Worli,Mahim,where one would get at the most a converted 1BHK flat while it is possible to fetch a compact 1 BHK flat in Mazgaon,Byculla,Dadar,etc,the other side of the central Mumbai. Going a bit northward,Dadar,Matunga,Sion etc would offer standard 1 BHK flat in some of the pockets as most of the other pockets have crossed Rs 1 crore mark. For still larger requirement,Shivadi,Wadala,Antop Hill etc can be considered in the neighbourhood.
Central suburban line would offer three levels as well. Ghatkopar,Powai and Mulund will get you 1 BHK flat at this price while suburbs such as Vikroli,Kanjur Marg etc would get you compact 2 BHK flat in some pockets. Kurla,Bhandup,Nahur,Mankhurd etc may get you 2 to 3 BHK flat at the same price by compromising on status and infrastructure.
