Living on Pokhran Road
There is a particular kind of quiet that settles over Pokhran Road in the early hours, when the Yeoor Hills are still wrapped in mist and Upvan Lake lies undisturbed at the end of the stretch. This is old Thane in its most graceful form: a location blessed with Upvan Lake and Sanjay Gandhi National Park in close proximity, with a well-developed social infrastructure and connectivity that makes it one of the most exclusive residential areas in Thane. Long-time residents speak of it as the Malabar Hill of Thane, a comparison that speaks less to skyline and more to the sense of settled, leafy privilege the corridor carries.
Geographically, Pokhran Road unfolds in two distinct stretches, each with its own character. There are two major stretches, Pokhran Road 1 and Pokhran Road 2, both well-linked with major points in Thane and Mumbai through the Eastern Express Highway and the Thane-Belapur Road. Pokhran Road Number 2 itself boasts a well-maintained, spacious thoroughfare with a one-kilometer stretch featuring a footpath-garden, a detail that homebuyers who value their morning walk tend to notice immediately.
What makes the belt genuinely liveable, rather than merely convenient, is the density of everyday infrastructure woven into its lanes. Locales along Pokhran Road attract tenants due to competitive rentals, while Korum, Viviana and Wonder malls remain popular retail hubs nearby, with Bethany, Siddhivinayak and Jupiter counted among the trusted hospitals in proximity. Families raising children here also appreciate that the locale has some of the most reputed schools, such as Smt. Sulochanadevi Singhania School and Vasant Vihar High School, making it an ideal choice for families.
The corridor's appeal has not gone unnoticed by the market. Pokhran Road offers luxurious housing, excellent connectivity, and a thriving commercial scene, making it a prime investment destination, with the market showing strong growth in property values and demand for luxurious residences. It is precisely this blend of settled greenery and steady appreciation that has drawn a developer of Oberoi's stature to anchor a 75-acre integrated address here.
