Area Overview
What makes Nahur West special
Nahur West is the quieter side of an already quiet locality, a compact residential belt between Bhandup West and Mulund West with LBS Marg running through it.
Housing is a mix of 1980s society stock and newer redevelopment towers, with the hills and the national park boundary rising to the west.
It has no retail centre of its own. Bhandup is two kilometres south and Mulund three kilometres north, and both are where residents actually shop.

Why choose Nahur West?
Nahur West is about as quiet as Mumbai gets while still being on the Central line. A station inside the belt, LBS Marg through the middle, the hills to the west, and Bhandup and Mulund a few minutes away in either direction — at low pricing. The trade-offs are a slow-train-only halt, no retail centre of its own, ageing society stock and very little happening after dark.
