There is a silent revolution in India,particularly in urban hubs such as Mumbai. Gen Z and Millennials are not waiting until age 40 to purchase a home anymore. In fact, for many, purchasing a home is fast becoming one of the initial major financial moves they make.
Consider this: renting is essentially throwing money down a black hole. There is no ownership, no equity,just repeating payments with nothing to show for it. And the statistics confirm it. A new JLL report points to the fact that Gen Z and Millennials will account for 60% of India’s homeowners in 2030. That’s not a demographic, that’s a seismic shift in thinking.
At Atharv Lifestyle, we’re addressing that change,by building homes that don’t just shelter you, but support your growth. Homes that are an investment in your future, your lifestyle, and your autonomy.
From Renting to Rooting: Why Buying Makes More Sense Now
Renting in Mumbai isn’t just costly,it’s draining. From large deposits to increasing monthly rentals, to the broker’s commission, the whole process is both financially depleting and emotionally unbalanced.
For middle-class working professionals, just rent alone absorbs 50% of their salary every month. That’s half the income that could otherwise go towards building ownership in a property of your own. With EMIs, you at least have the satisfaction that every rupee you pay you are getting one step closer to owning something valuable.
It’s not just about bricks and mortar. It’s about pride, security, and the self-confidence of being able to say, “This is my space”.
The Financial Success Nobody Talks Enough About
Let’s set emotions aside for a moment and discuss numbers. Real estate in Mumbai,particularly in places like Andheri, Vile Parle and within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR),is on an upward trajectory. Present prices of properties in Andheri per sq ft are just heading northwards.
And here’s the kicker,securities or crypto don’t provide you with anything tangible. Anything that doesn’t tank overnight. Real estate appreciates in value, and keeps you connected,literally and financially.
Atharv Lifestyle: Homes Built for Your Generation
Today’s buyers don’t merely want chandeliers or granite countertops. They want homes that reflect the way they work, live, and relax.
We create homes at Atharv Lifestyle with that in mind,homes that provide flexibility, natural living, and smart design to simplify life. Developments like Atharv Aaradhyam at Andheri East provide 2–5 BHK residences with 50 + amenities, private balconies and verdant surroundings. In contrast, Atharv Navasamaj at Vile Parle East provides boutique living with a podium pool, garden walkways, and library lounge,perfect for those looking for peace amidst the city.
Our homes are more than addresses. They’re improvements.
So, Why Do Atharv Homes Feel Just Right?
Because they’re designed to be. Our projects aren’t mass-produced developments,they’re:
- Vastu-compliant
- Sustainably constructed
- Teeming with facilities such as fitness centres, swimming pools, lounges, and children’s play areas
- Locally situated within proximity to airport, schools, metro lines, hospitals, and workplaces
On its way, Andheri East’s Atharv Brindavan does better with larger terraces, 2–4 BHK plans, and more than 50 well-thought-out amenities centred around well-being. They are homes that get you,plus, let’s be real, look decent on your ‘gram feed.
It’s Not Just a Flat. It’s a Financial Power Move.
Buying a home is more than a lifestyle decision,it’s a strategic investment. Areas like Andheri East and Vile Parle East are buzzing with potential thanks to improved metro connectivity, new infrastructure, and strong rental demand.
And if sustainability matters to you, here’s a bonus,green-certified homes often enjoy up to 10% higher resale value. That’s smart money at work.
