If you are willing to travel a little each day (please bear in mind that Mumbai traffic is a b****), you could stay somewhere in Bandra east / Matunga / Mahim and save around 10 - 15K for a 1 BHK.
If you wish to stay in churchgate (i.e. close to the high court and litigation offices of most firms), the rent is around 50K for 1 BHK or thereabouts.
You said save 15k. I mis-read it.
I'll just stick to navi Mumbai, and an hour in traffic.
If i stayed in Delhi, I'd happily take the metro too.
Just that mumbai local is a local.
One thing most Mumbaikar's do is that they carry their formal clothes with them in their bag and wear more comfortable clothes (T-shirts/Jeans) while travelling in summer months. Then they get to office, go to the restroom, wash up and change. They repeat this on the way back. (Think of it like people using Gym clothes or something).
The best part about taking the Local is that it allows you to truly experience the sheer diversity of people in Mumbai. You will soon develop train friends and that will give you a good exit from having to spend all your time socialising with lawyers cause when you land in the city your law school people are usually the only people you know.
Honestly, I think it was worth it because having the space to yourself after brutal workdays really can make a difference (it did for me) but then again, I ended up shifting to Delhi eventually.
I want to be able to play "Jo na bole Jai Shree Ram" at full volume the very first thing when I come back from work.
Virar, dombivili, or navi Mumbai?
I dislike public transport, so I'll use a Honda activa
If you're using the Railway, you can stay in Andheri (E) which is quite cheap compared to most areas. On the plus side, if you hang out in Malls there on weekends, you'll be able to meet a lot of attractive people due to the struggling actor crowd staying there. Andheri (W) is like 2x Andheri (E) rents.
To be fair, if you're planning on the Railway, you can stay anywhere on the Western Line.
Your only realistic option is to use train if you want to live in Virar, dombivili, or Navi Mumbai
Lower Parel to Prabhadevi belt is actually a reasonably affordable location despite being SOSL (South of the Sea Link - South Bombay) as its filled with many MHADA and SRA societies that were built for Mill workers who were out of work after the famed cotton mills of Bombay shut down in the 90s.
I work in a T2 firm. Most T2/T3 A0s won't be able to afford a Flat entirely for themselves anywhere below Vile Parle/Khar unless its a MHADA/SRA flat.
Having lived in Delhi for a couple of years, it is a nice city and has my heart.
Don't make your opinion just based on the conditions in the stubble burning months.
Doesn't your city have not one but two PARTIES (Shiv Sena and MNS) who think N. Indians should be killed on sight?
