A microcosm of South India, be it for the temples, the Tamil-owned flower shops, markets, silk and of course the food (think filter coffee, crisp dosas, Kanjeevaram idlis and a hearty curd rice meal), your search ends at Matunga. Located between Bandra and Dadar, Matunga also has a vibrant arts scene that adds a traditional verve to the hood’s old-world charm.

Whilst the earliest communities to move to Matunga were people from the South, over time the landscape and demographic has changed, with the evolution of numerous and diverse communities. You are sure to fall in love with the moments of time-traveling, stop-and-stare beauty and art deco buildings along wide, tree lined roads.

A scenic, seamless blend of past and present, Matunga is a picturesque neighborhood as rich in history as it is in cultural offerings. Beautiful, ancient churches such as Don Bosco Church and temples such as the Astika Samaj and Sri Sankara Mattham create a mood of contemplative peacefulness, but the daily influx of visitors and the landmark dining scene contribute a metropolitan buzz. Whether you want the bustle of a major city or the tranquility of a town that time forgot, you can find it here.

Matunga also houses prestigious educational institutions such as the Institute of Chemical Technology, R.A. Podar College, Ramnarain Ruia College, Don Bosco School and Wellingkar Institute of Management. Despite its proximity to the city, Matunga doesn’t have the grit or late-night energy of downtown Mumbai. For most who live here, that’s part of its charm. While the suburban sprawl has led to the construction of numerous upscale real estate projects, Matunga has carefully maintained its unique character, thanks in large part to generations of families who have lived here who wish to keep it a special place. Sumptuous homes create a civilized, aesthetic splendor and gardens allow the neighbourhood to melt into the natural landscape. In short, Matunga is a residential gem replete with nostalgia as well as all the conveniences one would need to cope with modern day life. Give us a call to explore real estate options in Matunga.
