Been staying here for a few months now. The vibe is more old-school Mumbai. It’s a little congested, but very convenient. Groceries, schools, everything is close.

Property prices haven’t skyrocketed, but the rental game is strong. Working-class crowd, reliable demand, and decent infrastructure improvements make Sonapur a steady bet.

I’ve lived in Sonapur for over 15 years. It has grown from a quiet locality to a buzzing neighborhood. Yes, it’s crowded, but the spirit of the area is strong.

Visited Sonapur for a relatives wedding. The streets are packed but vibrant. Felt very local and authentic with no pretense, just people living their lives fully. Would love to visit again.

Our rental flat is small but cozy. Sonapur is not fancy, but it has soul. Street food is amazing, especially in the evenings. Auto access is decent.
