Area Overview
What makes Vasant Vihar special
Vasant Vihar sits on Pokhran Road No. 2, and it is the address central Thane families aim for — planned, green and anchored by one of the strongest school clusters in the Mumbai region.
Vasant Vihar High School, the Singhania schools and several others sit within a few kilometres, which drives family demand and holds prices well above the older core.
It is greener and lower-density than Charai or Kolbad, with Upvan Lake nearby and Yeoor Hills rising to the north-west.
