In the real estate landscape of Mumbai, Kandivali is emerging as a vibrant place, drawing attention from both homebuyers and investors. This thriving suburb has recently witnessed an unprecedented surge in residential demand, particularly for 3BHK and 4BHK apartments. According to data analysed by Knight Frank India, the western suburbs of Mumbai commanded a staggering 62% share in sales registrations in March 2023. This remarkable uptick in demand isn’t only a transient blip; it signifies a fundamental shift in homebuyers’ preferences. As we go deeper into the factors driving this surge, it becomes evident that Kandivali is poised to become a prime residential destination within Mumbai’s ever-expanding real estate market.
Evolving lifestyle preferences
The foremost driver behind the escalating demand for 3BHK and 4BHK apartments in Kandivali is the evolving lifestyle preferences. A recent survey conducted by CII Real Estate Confluence 2023 revealed that 42% of respondents expressed a strong preference for 3BHK apartments, closely followed by 40% favouring 2BHK flats. This shifting landscape choices underscores the changing desire and lifestyle aspiration of urban dwellers.
Property developers have been quick to respond to this paradigm shift, increasingly constructing large apartments to cater to evolving consumer preferences. Data from Anarock indicates that the average size of residential units launched in the first quarter of this year has seen a year-on-year increase of 5% across seven major cities. The desire for more space, privacy, and the flexibility to create distinct functional areas within a home has fueled growing interest in large apartments.

The allure of these features, coupled with the large space of these apartments, has made them highly sought-after choices for homebuyers seeking a better lifestyle.
Investment opportunities
Beyond the comfort of spacious living, Kandivali presents itself as a promising investment opportunity. A favourable economic outlook, coupled with planned infrastructure developments, indicates a positive trajectory for property value in coming years.

Meanwhile, property values in Kandivali West have witnessed a remarkable growth of more than 15% over the last five years. This makes Kandivali not only a secure investment but also a potentially lucrative one, further fueling the popularity of these spacious apartments among both end-users and investors.
Space for extended families
Multi-generational living is a burgeoning trend in modern society, where families spanning multiple generations choose to reside together under a roof. This choice, driven by a myriad of factors from economic advantages to the preservation of cultural traditions, is particularly prevalent in Indian culture. Here, 3BHK and 4BHK apartments shine as the quintessential solution for accommodating extended family units.
These spacious apartments, with three to four bedrooms and ample living space, offer an ideal canvas to create living quarters for parents, children, and grandparents.
