People who are buying properties on Ghodbunder Road of Thane are foolish.
There is severe scarcity of water and electricity on Ghodbunder Road of Thane West area. People are foolish to spend lakhs of rupees to buy properties at exhorbitant rates that are prevailing now. There are all artificial rates. If you see there is hardly any construction activity. people who buy flats are either those who have sold their old flats to buy another one. Hardly anyone is putting his cash to buy a new home unless he is out of his mind.
Ghodbunder Road is having worst living conditions. No water, no electricity, no sanitation, lot of street dogs, and plenty of thefts.

Hiranandani Estate is also gripped in water scarcity and power cuts. Vasant Leela, Vijay nagari, Manu Smriti, Cosmos, Rutu Enclave, Rutu Estate, Charanamrit, you name it and there is hardly any resident who is not tasting the tanker water and lost in darkness.

Do not believe the builders...keep away from Ghodbunder Road of Thane West. You will regret buying a flat on Ghodbunder Road.

Can anyone let me know any major downsides of Ghodbunder road ? I heard there are 4 new flyovers which are to be build on the road however work for none has started, is this really true? Also does it face issues of water clogging during the rains?

Whats your opinion on CASA UNIVIS project by Lodha?

Mita...please stop giving rude comments for GB road or for that matter any other place. I think u r the most foolish person to post such a comment. i hv lived their for about 5 months and have never faced water scarcity for even a hour.. I think the place u r living at would be the worst coz YOU are staying there.. A word of advice - Give knowdlegde (if u have some) and not such weird comments.. hope u grow up..

Well, the post " Keep away from Ghodbunder Road properties " was posted one year ago. Even though I do not believe that the picture that the post shows is correct at all. Today G B Road properties are counted amongst the most elite categories of properties.I've staying at G B road since 2005 and trust me this area has never witnessed any kind of injustise.Power shortage and water scarcity is all over thane and the same regulations are being applicable as they are in the areas near Thane station or Phokran Road.I would even say that the standarad of living is much good and healthier at G B Road. Guys, I truly recommend G B road as a perfect area to invest (to be more precise viz. Hiranandani Estate, Swatik Group, Vijay Nagri, Vijay Park)

Hi, I partially agree and partially not.
I am staying at Swastik Residency Phase-I, GB road. We have water problems in our society. We have to call tankers and water just comes for around an hour in a day. Many place around us do get more water than us. We are not getting TMC water because there is some fault in the pipe line. Our society tried to correct the problem but it failed. Surprisingly Phase 2 get enough water. TMC is not doing anything. May be if we pay some bribes then they might do...these people dop nothing with showing money...

When I checked TMC site and tried to mail at "tmcmc@thanemahapalika.com" but there do not exist any such mail id and I got sent-message as failed.

Exectricity problem is everywhere in Thane and just not at GB road, its even worst at dombivali and Kalyan...

I agree that we need to do / take some action. I am not sure where to start, or where to complain, if somebody can help then it would be really great.

In a way I hate to stay in India as our TMC, State and national government cant even provide basic need to their people.

Thanks and Regards,

Viren Manek

I dont agree with the comments regarding GB Road. Its infact one of the most upcoming real estate markets leave alone Thane, but also in Mumbai. I have known many families who have sold their properties in uptown Mumbai and have settled in Ghodbunder Road. It makes sense as GB Road has one of the best infrastructures in India. Regarding water supply problems, it exists in select societies and depends on the type of water connection the society has access to. Crime and theft is rarely heard of in these areas. Ghodbunder Road has one of the cheapest property rates as compared to other areas in Mumbai. Its no wonder that its increasingly becoming a popular destination for the families who are looking for value for money. With a average rate of Rs 4000/- per sq ft your money is well worth it. Where else in Mumbai can you get a 2/3BHK for 30-50 Lakhs with good amenities such as a clubhouse, swimming pool, gym etc. This is an gold mine for one who wishes to invest into property. It also shown highest appreciation value compared to any property in Mumbai over the past few years, and will continue to do so...Overall I would term it the best value for money.

Thats not the case. Could you tell me in Thane which all societies doesn't get tanker. Do you undestand the prospects coming in GB. And do you have exp. on same which soceity you live in ? I don't think this is major case. Also Thane 6 years back was only concentrated in few location and rest all was jungle.
