Andheri Areas Mapped: Every Pocket in Andheri East and West Explained
Dasadia Editorial Team · Updated August 2026
The 30-Second Answer
Andheri is not one place. It is a suburb of well over a million people split by the Western Railway line into Andheri East and Andheri West, and each side contains a dozen distinct pockets with their own price, character and pin code. Rates run from about ₹25,250 per sq ft in Sakinaka to roughly ₹61,100 in Juhu — a spread of more than two and a half times inside a single suburb. East is jobs-led and cheaper; West is lifestyle-led and pricier. This guide maps every pocket that matters on both sides.

How Andheri Is Divided
The primary split is the Western Railway line, which runs north-south through the suburb and separates East from West with only a handful of crossings. Administratively this maps to two municipal wards — K/East and K/West — and to different pin codes: 400059, 400069, 400072, 400093 and 400099 across the East, and 400053, 400058 and 400061 across the West.
Beneath that split sit the pockets. Most are named after housing colonies, junctions or original villages rather than any official boundary, which is why they overlap and why two brokers will draw different lines around the same lane. Andheri’s oldest settlements were East Indian villages — the gaothans at Marol, Chakala, Sahar, Gundavali, Saki Naka and Pump House — and several survive today as low-rise pockets of narrow lanes and old houses inside a high-rise suburb. The name Andheri itself derives from Udayanagari, a hill near the Mahakali caves.
For a buyer or tenant, the practical consequence is simple: the suburb name tells you almost nothing. The pocket name tells you the price, the commute and the character. Work at that level.

Also within the East but rarely priced separately: Kondivita and MIDC, where per-square-foot rents reach about ₹150 — the highest in the suburb — because of proximity to SEEPZ; Sahar and Marol Naka, both airport-adjacent; and Gundavali, at the northern end near the Line 7 terminus.

Reading the East
Andheri East makes most sense as four bands running west to east. Closest to the railway line and the Western Express Highway sits the established residential belt — the Vile Parle East border, J.B. Nagar and Sher-e-Punjab. These are planned colonies with wider roads, older leafy societies and the highest rates on this side. They are also the quietest, because through-traffic moves along the highway rather than through them.
Next comes the metro and office corridor along Andheri-Kurla Road — Chakala and Marol Naka — where residential stock sits directly among business parks. Rates are mid-range, rental demand is relentless, and the noise and congestion are real. Further east lies the industrial band: MIDC, Kondivita, SEEPZ and Sakinaka, where warehousing and manufacturing frontages sit beside housing societies. This is where the cheapest entry prices and the highest yields both live. Finally, wrapping the north-east, the airport fringe around Sahar and Marol — convenient for aviation staff, constrained by height and land-use rules.
What holds the East together is that almost every pocket is within walking or one-stop distance of an employer. That is unusual in Mumbai and it explains the rental pattern: compact units let quickly and rarely stay empty, which is why yields here run a full percentage point above the western side despite lower rents in absolute terms.

Andheri West: Pocket by Pocket
Two more that appear in every conversation but rarely in rate tables: Four Bungalows and Seven Bungalows. Four Bungalows sits about three kilometres from Andheri station near Lokhandwala and Versova, anchored by Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and its markets, and houses the Metro Line 1 depot. Seven Bungalows, or Saat Bangla, is named after seven seafront cottages built around 1900 whose occupants included the Maharaja of Gwalior and Dadabhai Naoroji; only one original structure, Shanti Niwas of 1898, still stands. D N Nagar, the Line 1 and Line 2A interchange, anchors the middle of the western side.

Reading the West
Andheri West organises around distance from the sea rather than from the highway. The coastal edge — Juhu, Gulmohar Road, Versova and Seven Bungalows — carries the highest rates in the entire suburb and the lowest densities. Behind it runs the JP Road and Link Road belt: Lokhandwala Complex, Four Bungalows, Oshiwara and Veera Desai Road, dense with high-rises, markets, studios and the film and television industry that defines the western side’s character.
Closer to the tracks sits the station belt — Ambivali, Natwar Nagar, Amboli and the lanes off S.V. Road — older, more compact, and the most walkable to the railway. At the northern edge, Jogeshwari West functions as the value entry point to the West and is currently one of its faster-appreciating pockets at around 9.6%.
Andheri West’s headline figures reward a closer look. Asking prices average about ₹40,000 per sq ft while registered transactions come in nearer ₹26,600 to ₹27,900 — a gap of well over 30%, wider even than Andheri East’s. Between September 2025 and August 2026 the western side recorded 977 registrations worth roughly ₹2,536 crore, so this is a deep, liquid market where asking prices are an opening position rather than a valuation.

How to Read These Numbers
A map is only as useful as the data behind it, and Andheri’s pocket-level data comes with real caveats.
Three cautions before you use any of the figures above. First, pocket averages are volatile. Within Andheri West’s rental data, Manish Nagar fell about 20.2% in a year while Seven Bungalows rose 6.7%; Four Bungalows dropped roughly 18.2% while Lokhandwala Complex gained 5.8%. Small samples in small pockets swing hard, so a single year’s movement is a signal, not a trend.
Second, rents cluster into tiers rather than a smooth curve. Across Andheri West the data resolves into a ₹150 per sq ft tier — Lokhandwala Complex, Seven Bungalows, Shastri Nagar, Mudran Press Colony — and a ₹100 tier covering Versova, Four Bungalows, S.V. Patel Nagar and Jeevan Nagar. Knowing which tier a building sits in matters more than the decimal point on any average.
Third, asking is not registered. On both sides the gap between listed prices and values recorded with the state revenue authorities runs from roughly 17% in the East to over 30% in the West. Before negotiating, pull the registered rates for that specific building on the IGR Maharashtra portal. It is the single highest-value hour of research a buyer in Andheri can do.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no official count, because pockets are named after colonies, junctions and old villages rather than administrative boundaries. In practice about six pockets are priced separately in Andheri East and around ten in Andheri West, plus several more that appear in conversation but not in rate tables.
Juhu, at roughly ₹61,100 per sq ft, followed by Gulmohar Road at about ₹57,900. Both are on the western side.
Sakinaka in the East at around ₹25,250 per sq ft. On the western side, Jogeshwari West is the value entry at about ₹31,250.
Andheri West, by roughly 26% on average asking rates — about ₹40,000 per sq ft against ₹31,650.
The main priced pockets are the Vile Parle East border, J.B. Nagar, Chakala, Sher-e-Punjab Colony, Marol and Sakinaka, plus Kondivita, MIDC, SEEPZ, Sahar, Marol Naka and Gundavali.
Juhu, Gulmohar Road, Versova, Ambivali, Oshiwara, Amboli, Lokhandwala Complex, Veera Desai Road, Natwar Nagar and Jogeshwari West, plus Four Bungalows, Seven Bungalows and D N Nagar.
Both are old residential pockets in the West. Four Bungalows sits about 3 km from Andheri station near Lokhandwala, anchored by Kokilaben Hospital and its markets, and houses the Metro Line 1 depot. Seven Bungalows lies further towards the sea on JP Road and is named after seven cottages built around 1900.
Sakinaka and Marol in the East, at roughly 4% and above. On the western side, Veera Desai Road stands out at about 4.05% against a locality average of 3.69%.
Oshiwara in the West at about 18.4%, and Marol in the East at about 9.0%. Jogeshwari West is also moving at around 9.6%.
Yes. Gaothans — original East Indian village settlements — survive at Marol, Chakala, Sahar, Gundavali, Saki Naka and Pump House, with narrow lanes and older low-rise houses inside the modern suburb.
Andheri East uses 400059, 400069, 400072, 400093 and 400099 across its pockets. Andheri West uses 400053, 400058 and 400061.
Because they measure different things — asking prices from listings versus registered values from state revenue records — and because small pockets have small samples that swing hard year to year.
Sher-e-Punjab Colony and J.B. Nagar in the East for planned low-rise living; Gulmohar Road and Versova in the West for space and proximity to the sea, at a considerably higher price.
Check registered rates for the specific building on the IGR Maharashtra portal rather than relying on listed asking prices, and verify the project’s registration on MahaRERA.
Conclusion and Next Steps
Andheri rewards precision. The suburb-level average — whichever portal you take it from — conceals a market that runs from ₹25,250 to ₹61,100 per sq ft, with pockets that behave nothing like their neighbours. Two flats a kilometre apart can differ by a third in price, a full percentage point in yield and twenty minutes in commute.
Shortlist at the pocket level, not the suburb level. Decide first whether your priority is yield and commute, which points east, or lifestyle and prestige, which points west. Then pull registered rates for the specific buildings you are considering on the IGR Maharashtra portal, verify any project on MahaRERA, and walk the lane at peak hour before you commit to anything.
