Neral-Karjat is located central to both Mumbai and Pune. The State Highway connects Neral to Karjat, NH4, Panvel and Badlapur. The Matheran hill station is an important tourist attraction in the region. Once lacking both infrastructure and connectivity, Neral-Karjat, today flaunts all amenities available at one’s disposal. Many mega infrastructure projects are being set up by the government to catalyse the real estate growth in Neral-Karjat. Also, it has been designated as the ‘next big residential hub’, after Ambarnath-Badlapur and Kalyan.
Speaking during the launch, Mr. Ashok Mohanani – President, NAREDCO Maharashtra said,“We are happy to announce the launch of NAREDCO’s new unit in Neral-Karjat.

Under NAREDCO’s umbrella, the homebuyers too will have a sense of trust and confidence. It will also boost the Government’s policy of creating ‘Housing for All by 2022’.”
The infrastructure development in the leading metro cities has improved connectivity to peripheral destinations, thereby, bridging the gap between the cities and the peripheries. On the other hand, projects such as the metro rail, ring roads and highways, etc., offer improved connectivity to the existing city establishments and are more suitable to the immediate needs of budget-conscious home buyers.

At the time when real estate prices have undergone correction, this region with its upcoming infrastructure, tranquil surroundings and affordable pricing can bring the homebuyers’ dream come true.”
