Area Overview
What makes Khopat special
Khopat sits in central Thane between Charai and the Wagle Estate side, part of the older built-up belt west of the station.
It is one of the more actively redeveloping parts of central Thane — a considerable share of the 1970s and 80s society stock is either mid-redevelopment or in the pipeline, which shapes both pricing and the day-to-day experience of living here.
Thane station is about 2 km and the Eastern Express Highway runs close by, giving reasonable access in both directions.

Why choose Khopat?
