Area Overview
What makes Nahur East special
Nahur East is one of the smallest localities on the Central line, sitting between Bhandup and Mulund with its own station opened in the 1990s to serve the surrounding industrial estates.
Most of the housing is newer than its neighbours — society and township developments built on former industrial land, with the Eastern Express Highway and Metro Line 4 to the east.
It is quiet and compact, with limited retail of its own, and residents rely on Bhandup and Mulund a few minutes away in either direction.

Why choose Nahur East?
Nahur East is small, quiet and newer than its neighbours. You get a Central line halt, Metro Line 4 on the highway, township stock with clubhouse amenities, and Bhandup and Mulund three minutes away in either direction — at low pricing. The trade-offs are a slow-train-only station, almost no retail of its own, and a belt that goes very quiet after dark.
