The protruding landmass of Salsette Island across the Mithi river is the oldest part of the city and is called South Mumbai. Housing the city's most important business and art centres, the area stretches from the Colaba, the city's southernmost tip to parts of Mahim and even Sion. Engulfed in this stretch are some of the city's most prominent localities, home to the city's wealthiest demographic. Cuff Parade, Malabar Hill, Alta Mount Road, Worli, Tardeo, and Mahalaxmi are the most sought after residential areas where luxury housing has been on the rise. But given Worli's close proximity South Mumbai's art district, Lower Parel's business districts and the bustling Bandra Kurla Complex, it has managed to rise above the other localities and emerge as one of the most popular options for potential home buyers.

Originally, Worli was a separate island, although still a part of the seven islands that made the city. After being ceded to the English, by the Portuguese in the 17th Century, it was linked up to the other islands. But records show the move was only made in the 19th Century. The name too is an anglicized version of its original name, varli.

Built on the banks of the Arabian Sea, the Worli sea face is the locality's biggest show stealer. Many developers have lined projects against the promenade, knowing fully well that a view of the famous Bandra Worli Sea link is one to die for.

On Worli's east lies Mahalaxmi and at its north is Prabhadevi. Incidentally, the region has close access to many sites of religious worship such as the Hajji Ali Dargah, the Siddhivinayak Temple, the Mahalaxmi temple and even the Babul Nath temple, located at Pedder Road.

DEMAND

Worli has seen a steady rise in demand, registering an 87% increase in demand since the last month. The average price per carpet area in Worli currently stands at Rs. 87,200. Popular subsects of Worli are Dr. Annie Besant Road, Upper Worli, Pandurang Budhkar Marg, and Sasmira Road.

The popular projects in Worli include Four Seasons Private Residences, Blu and lodha Maison, followed by the rest.

Some of the most prominent landmarks in Worli include the Worli Sea face, the Bandra Worli Sealink, Nehru Planetarium, and Hajji Ali.

TRANSPORTATION

Thanks to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, the locality enjoys direct connectivity to Mumbai's suburbs. Worli is also a mere car ride away from Dadar, Lower Parel and Peddar Road, making sure that travel to the southern part of Mumbai is not a hassle. While Worli does not have its own railway station, residents can travel to Dadar, Prabhadevi and Mahalaxmi for train connectivity. The construction of the Coastal road would also mean seamless travel, without the worry of traffic.
