Top 5 Mumbai Spots for 1 BHK Homes

In Mumbai’s real estate market, 1 and 2-BHK apartments continue to be the most popular, accounting for the majority of new launches and transactions. Their attractiveness stems from their practicality; they are affordable to the city’s large buyer base, generate consistent end-user and investor demand, and provide developers with shorter sales cycles.

However, underlying this volume-driven narrative, a quieter transformation has been occurring. In the years following COVID-19, demand switched toward larger 3- and 4-BHK homes, as homebuyers prioritized room, flexibility, and lifestyle improvements. The ultimate effect is a market characterized by dual momentum: small dwellings drive numbers, while larger residences command price power and form the premium end of new supply.

The numbers speak for themselves. According to official estimates, over 42,000 units were registered for launch in Mumbai with the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority, with 1 and 2 BHK flats accounting for roughly 55%.

According to MahaRERA data, 25,061 of the 42,643 units launched in 2025 were one- or two-bedroom apartments. In 2025, 2.5 BHK, 3 BHK, 3.5 BHK, and 4 BHK apartments made up 23% of total units, or more than 10,000. In addition, 790 studio flats were launched in 2025.

According to the data, of the 42,643 debuts in 2025, 34% were two-bedroom apartments, 23% were one-bedroom apartments, 19% were three-bedroom flats, and 4% were four-bedroom apartments.
