Bandra West

One of Mumbai's costliest real estate belts, Bandra West is a posh suburban neighbourhood of Mumbai.

Bandra is known to be one of the costliest and posh suburban localities of Mumbai and often referred to as the Queen of suburbs. Bandra like most neighbourhoods of Mumbai is divided into the Eastern and Western halves with the west being the more well-developed and cosmopolitan area. Bandra was once a place that housed quaint bungalows amidst narrow lanes and used to be a peaceful area. Over the years, increasing demand for property has made Bandra West a prime locality with unrealistic property prices even during the real-estate market meltdown. Over the past decade, builders have flouted many civic laws having come up with luxury skyscrapers on narrow lanes and small plots.

Bandra was once under the rule of the Portuguese which led to the Christianisation during the 16^th century. It later became a part of the English Territory in the 18^th century. The locality once comprised of many small villages which have now been lost to the urban development. The place still has many historical landmarks like the Bandra fort, Old Portuguese churches, Mount Mary's Basilica, some remnants of the colonial era bungalows that are now under threat due to ongoing urban development.

There are many prominent localities in close proximity to Bandra West including Mahim, Golibar and Bandra East. Since the completion of the BandraKurla Complex, Bandra West has transformed from a suburban residential neighbourhood to a commercial hub and thus creating a further demand for property and apartments in Bandra West. The locality is also home to many Bollywood actors and businessmen of Mumbai.
