Oshiwara: A Suburb That Grew Into Itself
There is a particular kind of Mumbai neighbourhood that seems to have arrived at its own identity slowly, almost by accident, and Oshiwara is exactly that. Oshiwara is tugged between Goregaon and Andheri and due to its strategical location, it enjoys the centrality of western Suburbs, with good connectivity to arterial roads such as S.V. Road, Link Road and Western Express Highway. Its history can be traced back to its beginnings as a predominantly suburban region named after the Oshiwara River, situated between the western edges of Goregaon and Jogeshwari.
What sets Oshiwara apart today is the sheer breadth of what daily life here offers. It is renowned as a TV media district operating several production houses in its vicinity, and also has offices of banking and IT giants like HSBC and Morgan Stanley, while enjoying proximity to business hubs such as BKC, Powai, Goregaon and Malad. Nestled within the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, Oshiwara is a key residential market, with manufacturing and packaging industries alongside its reputation as a famous antique and second-hand furniture market fuelling housing investment here.
The pace of change has been steady rather than sudden. In recent years, the real estate market in Oshiwara has seen dynamic movements, with property rates for both buyers and sellers steadily rising, primarily because of the area's advantageous position, closeness to commercial centres, and improved infrastructure. MMRDA planned Oshiwara as the next district centre after Bandra Kurla Complex exhausted its potential for further office space, and it is a planned development and an emerging growth centre, commercially as well as residentially.
For a homebuyer weighing the western suburbs, Oshiwara offers something increasingly rare — a locality that is both lived-in and still evolving. It has great connectivity to Andheri West, is sprawled near the Oshiwara metro station, and is a great mix of business and cultural richness that residents and visitors love for its lively markets and authentic Mumbai feel. It is against this backdrop of established convenience and continuing transformation that Oberoi Realty's developments near Oshiwara find their place.
