Area Overview
What makes Dahisar West special
Dahisar West runs from the Western line across S.V. Road to Link Road and the western creek. Metro Line 2A terminates here, giving the belt a second rail option along the Link Road corridor.
Kandarpada and Anand Nagar form the residential core, with the Dahisar river to the north and the creek and mangrove edge to the west.
Like the east side, it trades time for price. It is among the most affordable belts inside Mumbai city, with two rail options and beach access toward Gorai, against a commute of over an hour to the business districts.

Why choose Dahisar West?
Dahisar West offers two rail options — the Western line and the Metro Line 2A terminus — plus Link Road access and jetty routes to Gorai and Manori, at the lowest entry pricing inside Mumbai city. The trade-off is time: over an hour to South Mumbai, 45 minutes to the airport, and retail that stays functional rather than premium.
