Nerul is one of the biggest nodes in Navi Mumbai. Palm Beach road, which is one of the most popular raads of the most popular roads in the state, also passes through this node. This has given a major boost to the real estate market in this node. The towers on Palm Beach Road offer an unrestricted view of the Thane Creek and this is also one of the reasons that the real estate process in this node are very high. They also have excellent ventilation due to strong sea breeze during the day.
A railway track divides the node into two halves, Nerul (East) and Nerul (west). Nerul is the only node that has two railway stations, Nerul and Seawoods railway station. Parsik Hills, which was at one time compared to the pali hill in Bandra, is now a joggers’ pardise.
“This is one of the best places in Nerul. It has some of the finest bungalows and is also very peaceful. However, development wise, not much has happened here,” says Om Prasad Gupta, a local resident.
Nerul Is also famous for the Brahmagiri hillock, that houses Mata Amritanandamayi matha, Lord Balaji Temple, Shree Swaminarayan Temple, Sri Naryana Guru Mandir and the Little Flower Church.
Apart from these, Nerul is now also looked upon as an educational hub. Some of the best colleges and institutes are situated here. From medical, engineering to management colleges, Nerul has them all.
Nerul was also the first node to have an NRI complex. Although, the market scenario changed and Indians purchased most of the flats, it is still known as the NRI complex.
“Initially, it was being sold only to NRI’s but the real estate boom was over by then and soon the flats were being offered to Indians. Today, most of it is occupied by Indians,” says Mehul Shah, a broker from the city.
The Nerul Gyamkhana and the D Y Patil Cricket Stadium have now made Nerul self-contained in almost every aspect. “One can say with conviction that Nerul will be looked upon as the best place to live, not just in Navi Mumbai, but also across the state very soon,” concludes Shanti Shetty, a resident of Palm Beach road.
