How do I find a place to live in Mumbai?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Mumbai is to use online resources such as rental websites, classifieds, and real estate agents. You can also search for local newspapers and magazines that list available properties. Additionally, you can ask friends and family who live in the area for recommendations. Once you have narrowed down your search, it is important to visit the property in person to ensure it meets your needs," said one person in Mumbai.
"We live in Powai; I chose the area by finding the middle spot on the map between my husband's office commute and my kids' school bus ride," said one expat who made the move to Mumbai.
