Thane the Most Preferred Location for Residential Apartment Buyers

By LODHA

December 03, 2021

A larger, more popular subject usually overshadows a small one. This can be true for people, places, and things. A classic case in point is Thane, considered as the little sister of the city of Mumbai. Thane's connection to Mumbai is not its only talking point - it has its history, significance, and unique persona. Thane has long been a popular choice for homebuyers and its allure has only grown over time. Let's take a look at why.

History of Thane

Thane has been influenced by several periods of history. Beginning as a trading point, later, the Mughals, Portuguese, Marathas, British have interacted with and ruled over the district, bringing their flavours and combining them with the ethos of the place. If you are wondering where Thane received its peculiarity from, its legacy might shed some light.

Some believe Thane gets its name from the Sanskrit word 'sthan,' which means 'place'. Others opine that it is derived from the Marathi word 'thane', meaning a police check post. Considering it is the first check post after Mumbai, the correlation seems logical. While there may be no certainty on its source, the name itself helps you retreat into a realm of goodness, considering all that it packs within it.

Settlement amidst nature

The natural bounties of Thane lend to its glamour and appeal. While Thane is known to many as the 'city of lakes,' the water bodies aren't its only defining feature. However, we cannot talk about other natural elements without taking a moment to acknowledge the many lakes present in this district. A lot to do with the landscape and emperament of the city comes from them. Yeoor Hills offer a welcome respite from the regular cityscapes. This quiet getaway replenishes your need for greenery, fresh air, and the sounds of nature. Another scenic escape is the Ulhas River.

An employment hub 

Thane has grown at its own pace and in its unique way. It has always been known as a hub for manufacturing companies and many small scale industries. Several prominent IT offices now feel incentivised to shift to Thane owing to its capacity to offer larger spaces and better infrastructure. Companies like TCS, Atos Global, Tata Technologies, and Capgemini are some of the more recognised global IT companies in the area.

Ease of connectivity

Public transport facilities like buses run through its circuit, and trains make it possible to get to almost any corner of Mumbai conveniently. Expansion projects like the metro and widening the Ghodbunder road are sure to make life a lot more convenient. Lines 4 and 5 of the Metro will connect Wadala to Ghodbunder Road and Thane to Bhiwandi and Kalyan, respectively. Thane's quick approach to Navi Mumbai also makes access to the upcoming Navi Mumbai Airport convenient. With the opening of the waterways linking Thane to Kalyan and Vasai, getting about from Thane now has several convenient and quick options. Connectivity to all parts of the city and other locations is optimal. Roads and expressways make it possible to get to business districts and main city centres quickly.

Thane - A lifestyle choice

Thane has also developed significantly as a residential choice. Thane also offers great social infrastructure with number of good educational institutes, major hospitals, shopping malls, public spaces, among other things. Other than those already living in Thane, several families have relocated here to experience a more decongested and tranquil life surrounded by nature. Properties in Thane have grown and evolved over the years. Thane has always been home to a cosmopolitan population that lends an inclusive charm. Real estate in Thane offers so much more than ordinary real estate among places to live near Mumbai. All factors considered, Thane contains everything a family can desire - proximity to the workplace, exclusive education, entertainment, healthcare, and lifestyle facilities, a relaxed ambience, and a home environment. A lot of nature and seclusion combined may seem like a dream, but in Thane, it is also part of daily life. That is why Thane today is the most preferred location for homeowners and aspirants.
