If you’re a pet parent looking to buy or rent a home in Vashi, here’s some good news: pet-friendly housing is no longer hard to find.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve had more and more clients specifically ask: “Does this society allow dogs?” or “Are pets even allowed in this building?”
The demand is real, and the market is catching up.
Why Pet-Friendly Housing Is Picking Up in Vashi
Vashi already stands out in Navi Mumbai for its clean roads, walkable neighborhoods, and calm lifestyle. But with more people adopting pets post-pandemic, the demand for homes that accommodate furry companions is rising steadily.
Builders and societies are finally responding—some even offering small pet parks or relaxed bylaws to attract more open-minded buyers. And with new infrastructure projects like the Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) improving connectivity across the city, the appeal of living in Navi Mumbai (with your pet) keeps growing.
What Makes a Flat “Pet-Friendly”?
It’s not just about whether pets are “allowed.” A genuinely pet-friendly apartment should include:
Written pet policy (avoid vague verbal approvals)
Pet-safe flooring (tiles or marble are easier to clean)
Balconies with proper grills
Walking-friendly surroundings (parks or low-traffic roads)
Supportive neighbors and community
Proximity to vets, pet shops, and groomers
Remember: a home is only as comfortable as it is practical for everyone living in it.
Areas in Vashi Where Pet-Friendly Options Are Easier to Find
From what I’ve seen in the market lately, here are some pockets where pet-friendly homes are more accessible:
📍 Sector 30A
Societies like Moraj Residency and Raghuleela Enclave tend to be more open toward pets. There are numerous 2 BHK and 3 BHK flats available here, offering decent ventilation and open spaces.
📍 Sector 17
If you're looking for something closer to markets and clinics, Sector 17 offers a good mix. Some older buildings are more flexible with pets, and you're just a walk away from Vashi Mini Seashore.
📍 Sector 14 & Sector 28
Great for mid-sized families. I’ve helped multiple clients find homes here where pets were not just tolerated, but welcomed.
Real Conversations I’ve Had
Let me share two recent cases:
A client shifting from Pune called me up and said, “Vishal, my labrador is a non-negotiable. Find me a home where she’s allowed.” We ended up closing a 2 BHK in Sector 30A, where the society even had a few other dog owners.
Another buyer had to pass on a great resale deal in Sector 9 just because the housing society didn’t allow pets over 10 kg. We learned to always double-check society's bylaws before finalizing.
Tips for Pet Owners House-Hunting in Vashi
Call ahead: Ask the broker or owner directly before scheduling a visit.
Ask for the society policy in writing: Don’t rely on “it should be fine” – it rarely is.
Visit during peak hours: See if pets are visible around. If people are walking dogs, that’s a green flag.
Look for ground-floor or terrace flats if possible—it’s just easier with pets.
Price Range Snapshot (As of June 2025)
Type | Monthly Rent | Resale Price Range |
1 BHK | ₹22k – ₹35k | ₹70L – ₹1.1 Cr |
2 BHK | ₹35k – ₹55k | ₹1.2 Cr – ₹1.7 Cr |
3 BHK | ₹55k – ₹80k | ₹2 Cr – ₹2.8 Cr |
Flats that are explicitly pet-friendly don’t always cost more, but they do get picked up faster.
