Area Overview
What makes Dhayari special
Dhayari sits at the outer end of the Sinhagad Road corridor, past Vadgaon Budruk, where the city gives way to hills and the road continues toward Khadakwasla.
It has grown substantially over the last fifteen years, with society development filling former farmland between the village and the Narhe side.
The appeal is space and price — larger flats, hills nearby, and some of the lowest pricing in this zone. The cost is distance: everything central means a run down a congested single arterial road.
