If you think Lonavala is the only cool weekend getaway for Mumbaikars, think again. Enter Kasara—the lesser-known cousin quietly making waves in the real estate market. With its stunning hills, fresh air, and affordable property prices, Kasara is the new darling for buyers and developers. Here’s why you should be paying attention!
The Kasara Glow-Up: From Sleepy to Chic
Kasara used to be that sleepy little town you passed on your way to Nashik. And now? It’s turning heads! Over the last few years, property values have jumped by almost 15-20% annually, thanks to new developments as a strategic move of growing demands, planned townships, and infrastructure projects like the upcoming Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway.
Sure, Lonavala is iconic. However, rising property rates are making developers rethink their game plans. One such journey of ‘A Beautiful Life’ is being carved as an 88-acre space at a convenient distance of 83 km from Thane, by the most thoughtful developer, Rustomjee. So, stay tuned to enjoy a luxurious sip of your tea while experiencing the most relaxing breeze from the Sahyadri Range.
Kasara offers more space, better pricing, and room to grow. Some developers are now snapping up land here for luxury resorts and second-home communities, often at half the price of similar properties in Lonavala. Talk about bang for your buck!
That’s Kasara for you – where beauty meets astute investment. With land prices currently averaging around ₹3000 to ₹6000 per sq. ft, Kasara offers more land for your investment compared to Lonavala’s ₹6000 to ₹10,000 per sq. ft. As infrastructure continues to expand, including improved roads, enhanced accessibility to Nashik, and smoother train commutes, property prices are poised to skyrocket shortly.
But that’s not all! Kasara’s air quality is a game-changer. Surrounded by lush greenery and distanced from metropolitan pollution, Kasara boasts significantly superior air quality. The Air Quality Index (AQI) often falls between 0 – 35, well within the healthy range. So, it’s not just an escape for the eyes – it’s a breath of fresh air, quite literally.
While all this has a calming seclusion, don’t think you’ll be stuck in the middle of nowhere! Kasara has some amazing spots, like the famous Kasara Ghat, Igatpuri, and Camel Valley. If you’re a nature enthusiast or want a peaceful escape, Kasara’s habitat welcomes you to take in that tranquillizing breath of freshness. Weekend trips, hikes, and even lazy riverside picnics are just the beginning.
Kasara is just 2 hours from Mumbai by road, and even better—there’s a direct train from CST! The smooth, scenic drive through winding ghats (without the Lonavala crowd) makes it an easy trip for a quick getaway or even an extended stay.
If you’ve got your eye on investing in real estate, Kasara should be on your radar. With a much lower price point than Lonavala, cleaner air, and the promise of future appreciation, it’s a no-brainer for those looking to escape the city without breaking the bank.
