Maharashtra state city directly northeast of Mumbai — historically the original British East India Company trading post (Thane existed before Mumbai was urbanized). Thane West (the modern commercial-residential core), Naupada, and the area around Upvan Lake are the typical anchors. Same India visa story (180 days/year, no DNV). The structural draws are meaningfully cheaper-than-Mumbai rents with direct Mumbai Local rail access (35min to CST), Yeoor Hills (the Sanjay Gandhi National Park's western edge), and 30+ lakes within city limits. Monsoon flooding (June-September) is real.
