The Lawyer's Life in Mumbai's Green Chembur Society
In this episode of The Tenant, we get to know Ajinkya Udane, a lawyer who calls Mumbai’s green and well-connected Chembur home. Ajinkya shares his experience of living and working in India’s financial capital, from facing landlord hesitations to paying ₹45,000 rent for his 520 sq. ft. 1BHK.
Chembur, known for its lush green spaces and well-maintained infrastructure, is a popular choice for families and professionals alike. Ajinkya, a 23-year-old lawyer, moved to Chembur to balance his professional life with a serene living environment. Despite the initial challenges, he has found a perfect blend of tranquility and connectivity in this part of Mumbai.
One of the main reasons Ajinkya chose Chembur is its greenery and well-maintained societies. He mentions, “The green spaces and the well-connected transport make it an ideal place for family life.” However, he also notes that the area is not very active at night, which suits his preference for a quiet environment.
Ajinkya’s journey to finding a suitable rental property was not without its hurdles. Landlord hesitations and the high rent were significant obstacles. “Finding a landlord who was willing to rent to a young professional was tough,” he recalls. “But the comfort and security of the society made it worth the effort.”
Living in Chembur has also allowed Ajinkya to maintain a balanced life between his professional commitments and personal interests. He often travels to Pune, where he has family and friends. “The commute between Mumbai and Pune is manageable, and it’s a great way to stay connected with my roots,” he says.
Despite the challenges, Ajinkya is content with his decision to rent in Chembur. He appreciates the community and the amenities provided by the society. “The cleanliness, the security, and the overall atmosphere make it a perfect place to call home,” he concludes.
For young professionals and families looking for a green and well-connected neighborhood in Mumbai, Chembur offers a unique blend of serenity and convenience. Ajinkya’s story highlights the importance of finding the right balance between work and life, and how a well-chosen neighborhood can make all the difference.
