Flats & Apartments on Rent in Mumbai
Located centrally on the west coast of India, Mumbai is the most populous and the wealthiest city of India. It is the main commercial and financial centre of India, meaning plenty of employment opportunities are available for Indian residents and international expats alike. Many expats move to Mumbai after being relocated internationally by the firm they work for back home, while others just want to experience the different culture of India and chase the opportunities available in this city.
Flats in Mumbai are available at pretty affordable prices, even in the city centre. A central one-bedroom apartment costs 38,500 Indian rupees on average, which is less than €500. In less central areas, this average figure drops to around €250 per month. The rental prices even make relocating with your family affordable, especially if you don’t want to live in the busy city centre. A three-bedroom apartment outside of the city centre would cost around €550, less than half the price of one at the heart of Mumbai.
When you’re looking for apartments for rent in Mumbai, some of the most popular areas for expats are Hiranandani, Juhu, Colaba, and Malabar Hill. However, these are not the most affordable places in the city, and some are home to local Bollywood stars. Many expats can afford to live in these areas because they have moved to the city for a high-paying job. More affordable areas include Lokhandwala, Khar, and Worli.
