Dadar is a lively and bustling neighbourhood of south Mumbai. Dating back to the 16th century, the area was located on the island of Mahim, which was one of the seven islands of Bombay. Later, to decongest the city, Dadar became Mumbai’s first planned neighbourhood. People who develop an emotional connection with Dadar, often never intend to leave the locality. This region has always attracted home buyers, especially people who were previously residents here. Of late, home buyers between the ages of 35 to 40 years, have been purchasing homes for their parents who are residents of Dadar. As a result, property prices in Dadar have appreciated at an average of 2% quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q). The April-June quarter of 2020 saw an appreciation of around 4%, as per industry reports. Additionally, the rental market of the locality has also witnessed a surge in prices, owing to Dadar’s connectivity to the commercial hubs of the city.
