The project offers a wide array of luxurious amenities including multiple swimming pools, a well-equipped clubhouse, landscaped gardens, a modern gymnasium with trainers, and various sports courts for cricket, football, basketball, volleyball, and lawn tennis. There are also indoor activities like TT, snooker, and chess. The design of the flats is appreciated for being space-efficient with no wasted areas and includes separate utility dry areas. The community is described as lively, peaceful, and fosters a good neighborhood spirit, especially for senior citizens with various groups (yoga, bhajan, rotary club) and large-scale festival celebrations. It's considered a good place for retirement, offering a resort-like living experience with ample green spaces and recreational opportunities.
I have stayed in Lodha Amara and Lodha Crown Thane the experience of my stay has been excellent. Lodha has given World class facilities in both of its projects.
It has top notch amenities - Swimming pools, club house, individual cluster club house (includes just carrom, chess, gym equipment+ trainer), cricket, football, basketball, volleyball, lawn tennis courts. Gym with trainer, TT, snooker, chess etc and lot more. Jain Mandir, Ganpati Mandir. I liked the design of the flats. No space is wasted. It also separate utility dry area. "Good people" - I really found the neighborhood very peaceful. My parents are senior citizens so they enjoy company of other senior citizens. There are yoga groups(free), bhajan groups, rotary Club and many such cultural groups. My parents are enjoying it. Festivals - all festivals are celebrated on a very large scale.
Does he have to travel everyday to Mumbai from Thane or does he just want to live here and enjoy, in that case Lodha Amara is a good property for elders who want to chill , it’s like living in a resorts with all sports related activities available. Plus there are lot of green space in Thane and everything available for entertainment too.
To live retirement life Lodha Amara is a great place, sure it’s big but it’s crowded only on Sunday evenings. Rest of the time he can use all the amenities like swimming, steam , tennis etc and there’s a big community for yoga etc . Also Thane has a big cycling community who are 40 plus and do social rides nearby or in the city. There’s a large group of elders too in Lodha who do some or the other activities.
Lodha Amara is not bad, it's lively and atleast not like other ghost town projects.

The project is strategically located in Balkum, Thane West, offering good connectivity to the Eastern Express Highway and Thane Railway Station, facilitating travel to Mumbai and other business hubs. It is also near prominent schools, hospitals, and shopping centers. Thane itself is seen as having better infrastructure, wider roads, and generally less traffic compared to Mumbai, offering a more suburban feel. Upcoming metro lines and the Navi Mumbai airport are expected to further enhance connectivity and make commuting easier, especially for retirees. The area is considered a good investment hotspot with reasonable prices and potential for future appreciation.
Thane offers better carpet area, better internal roads as compared to Mumbai. It is not BMC, that’s true but Mumbai cannot offer such spacious homes like Thane. Unless you are opting for an Oberoi project.
Thane has better connectivity than Mumbai. Three major roads pass through Thane.. giving better connectivity to Nashik, Pune and Konkan region. Mumbai mostly has standalone towers while in Thane you will get big complexes with lots of open space and amneties.
Nestled in Balkum, Thane West, Lodha Amara Tower 32,33 stands out for its strategic location and seamless connectivity. With easy access to the Eastern Express Highway and proximity to Thane Railway Station, residents can enjoy effortless travel to Mumbai and other major business hubs. The project’s location also places it near prominent schools, hospitals, and shopping centers, making it perfect for modern families and professionals.
It is a good area to retire. Since he would get more space for the existing budget and also with all these metro projects coming up commuting to Mumbai for him would be easy. They are also building Navi Mumbai airport so it would be even better to travel.

The project offers good value for money, with 1 BHK units starting at INR 79 lakh and 2 BHK units at INR 1.07 crore, considered affordable given the premium amenities and prime location. Thane West is a rapidly growing real estate hotspot, promising high resale value and rental potential due to upcoming infrastructure projects like the metro line and new business hubs.
Living in Mumbai will be more cramped up and will be more polluted. More importantly he would have an invest 2-3x the amount buying a house in a property and there’s no real benefit to it. He can use that saved up money to enjoy experiences / travel / have a driver for him to drive him around from Thane to Mumbai (which will have 1-2hr) depending on where he wants to go.
In Thane or Navi Mumbai you have better infrastructure and more development projects are in progress which will enhance the overall connectivity in MMR region. I would prefer Thane as prices are reasonable still and i am sure it is going to shoot up in next 2-3 years as big developers like Oberoi, L&T, Adani of Mumbai have entered Thane market.
1bhk in Lodha Amara starts from 80L tho
Pricing is another factor that makes Lodha Amara worth considering. With 1 BHK units starting at INR 79 lakh and 2 BHK units priced at INR 1.07 crore, the project offers excellent value for money. Given the premium amenities, prime location, and reputation of the Lodha Group, these homes are both affordable and luxurious. From an investment perspective, Thane West is experiencing rapid growth, thanks to upcoming infrastructure projects like the metro line and new business hubs. Lodha Amara’s location in this evolving real estate hotspot ensures high resale value and rental potential in the future.

Where residents want improvements
There are widespread complaints about the poor and average construction quality, with some residents describing it as "vertical zhopdi" (slum-like) or feeling like it's made of PoP (Plaster of Paris). Specific issues include water leakages, especially on upper floors, and faulty door locks. The project has experienced multiple fire incidents, raising serious concerns about fire safety. Reports indicate that fire safety equipment, including sprinkler systems, either did not work, had no water, or were perceived as "dummy" systems. One fire incident resulted in a fatality due to smoke inhalation and another resident being hospitalized, with reports of up to 6 fatalities (though this number is less consistently reported). The overall quality is often compared unfavorably to low-cost housing, leading to buyer's remorse and difficulty in reselling properties without a loss.
Let me guess the fire safety equipment mandatory inside buildings didn’t worked because society tried to cheap out on fire safety maintenance.
I'm in the construction industry and we have a running joke calling it the vertical zhopdi
As someone who has a flat in Amara and highly regrets it, I would urge you to stay away from that place. I got the keys to my house in April and I am already planning to sell it off. The construction quality is horrible and there are lots of problems
Well i heard some news...but not sure if thats the correct news... Every flat in amara has sprinklers inside their flat but they were dried out.. basically no water for those sprinklers/ fire system
Worst is news says emergency water tank did not had water. Hence I am assuming no sprinkler worked, and things got escalated
Lodha Amara is Lodha Mahada... Constant water cuts, poor Lodha management and spacious homes!?! 600 sq ft mein 2 bhk diya hai... STAY AWAY FROM LODHA AMARA AND CROWN...
The construction of the buildings and flats is so fragile that it feels the entire society is made of PoP.
Fire was started by a rocket whos sparks caused the safety net of the building under construction to catch fire

A significant and persistent problem is the large population of stray dogs within the complex, leading to safety concerns, especially for children and residents taking walks. There have been multiple reported dog biting incidents, with some being aggressive and forming groups. Residents complain that the dogs are present on jogging tracks and children's play areas, making these amenities unusable. The issue is compounded by some residents ("dog lovers" or "activists") who feed and breed these animals, leading to overpopulation, and who allegedly resist efforts to control the stray population. Both the developer and the local municipal corporation are criticized for not taking effective action, with some residents feeling their concerns are ignored in favor of animal activists.
It's everyday thing in Lodha Amara, you can count around 15-20 stray dogs here and there, fighting on streets, pooping here and there all bcz of these bunch of dog lovers/mom/dad type people. They don't care about us and our kids, all they are worried about dogs who can bite and spread diseases. They will only suffer when some dog bite their kids or them. Also seen some pet lovers feeding these stray dogs on benches or on streets.
Stray dogs are everywhere. On jogging tracks, on kids play areas. I don't even go for a walk now.
Dogs attacks a kid in Lodha Amara complex in Kolshet in Thane. Need @TMCaTweetAway help since this issue is persisting here.
It's a society for stray dogs.
True. We so regret buying a flat here. I don't have much problem with the population of the society but if kids can't use playing areas, people can't take a walk then what's the point of having a gated society with these many amenities. I don't even know how we are going to sell this flat. Definitely going to lose money. Lodha doesn't do anything regarding strays. 3 biting incidents happened in a single day, literally sent shivers down the spine.
Stray Dog Menace at Lodha Amara | Neither Lodha neither the TMC is doing anything about the situation and taking this issue seriously.To appease a few in the society who are activists they are putting lives of kids in danger.

Residents frequently report constant water cuts, low water supply, and even complete outages lasting for days. This issue is exacerbated by alleged unequal distribution and faulty systems within the complex, leading to some clusters protesting and relying on water tankers. There are claims of a "tanker mafia" operating, with residents paying significant amounts for water. Power cuts are also a recurring problem, with some buildings experiencing daily or frequent outages, causing inconvenience, especially for families with children. These issues are often attributed to poor management by the developer and the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), which is accused of inadequate planning and infrastructure for the mushrooming townships.
This clip from documentary on tanker mafia,clearly exposes nexus between municipality person who open valves and tanker mafia.He gets paid for not opening valve in 1 or 2 areas
The main problem is that the TMC giving permissions left right center to construct high rises without looking at emergency accessibility!! Paise aat public geli bh*sd*at ! Corrupt officials!! Water shortage, tanker mafia & now mafia builders acquiring lands
Constant water cuts, poor Lodha management
Lodha Amara, Thane facing very low water supply since today morning. Families/Senior citizens are suffering due to this. Requesting @TMCaTweetAway urgently intervene and restore supply.
Ha na bc😂😂😂 Fir aaya water cuts... And ab bc electricity cuts 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

With 48 towers planned across 40 acres, the project is perceived as having very high population density, leading to overcrowding, especially on weekends and evenings. This high density results in amenities feeling overcrowded and a general sense of congestion. Flats are described as "matchbox-like" or small, with some units having windows ridiculously close to neighboring flats, raising privacy concerns and indicating poor architectural design in newer towers. The sheer scale of the project makes it feel like a "kumbh mela" (large gathering) to some, detracting from the promised luxurious lifestyle.
I have been there. It is not worth it. What sense does it make when you have a match stick box like house with external amenities which you hardly use while you pay maintenance which is equal to renting a home ?
I live here and bro it's so overcrowded. All the buildings are so close packed together. Idk if anyone else feels the same way
No. Not worth it. Construction is not good, very high population density. There are going to be 48 towers across 40 acres. That means the amenities they advertise while making a fool out of potential buyers are always going to be overcrowded.
The views may be okay but the overall layout is not that great to be honest. Some of the flats in that wing are so ridiculously close that you are able to see the living room of your neighbor from the balcony. It’s so close that you can almost climb over to the other person’s house. That’s really a big privacy issue. The architect put no thought at all into the design of the new towers.

The Kolshet Road area, where Lodha Amara is located, suffers from severe traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, making travel to Mumbai or other areas difficult. This is attributed to the high density of new townships, improper planning by the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), and issues like narrow roads, illegal parking of buses and trucks, and obstacles like temples or political offices on the road. The roads are also reported to be in dilapidated condition, with potholes and frequent digging for drainage, which further exacerbates traffic and causes inconvenience, particularly during monsoons. Emergency services like ambulances face difficulties navigating the jammed roads.
When huge townships like Lodha Amara, Kalpataru ParkCity, upcoming Godrej, Oberoi and Thane Grand Central Park unite, the traffic situation of Kolshet Road becomes like this due to improper planning by @TMCaTweetAway
Kolshet Road is fully jammed near Highland hospital. No one is giving way to the ambulances and instead dumbheads are going wrong side. This country is f***ed big time.
Damn that’s bad and there’s a temple on the middle of the freaking road plus the shiv Sena office making 3 lanes into one 🤦♂️
Kaafi dur hai toh traffic and shit is gonna eat your brains out. Don’t even think about Ghodbunder ka traffic.

There are complaints about poor management by the developer and issues with society governance. Residents report "poor Lodha management" and non-responsive teams, leading to "mental harassment." Specific problems include owners not paying maintenance due to litigation with the developer, resulting in tenants being denied access to amenities like the club and gym. There are also allegations of the developer "blackmailing" owners for FCAM (Facility Common Area Maintenance) payments, blocking amenity access, and charging absurd fines. Within the society, there are reports of unauthorized AGMs, dissolved committees refusing to step down, and misuse of positions by office bearers who may not even be flat owners.
Owner has not paid maintenance charges because of some Litigation going on with lodha and some owners, due to which access to club and gym is not possible?
Constant water cuts, poor Lodha management
Lodha_Group is blackmailing owners of Amara Society, Thane, Mumbai for FCAM payments. The issue has been pending for a long time and needs immediate resolution. It's time for accountability and transparency!

The extensive and ongoing construction within and around Lodha Amara leads to significant noise and air pollution. Residents report constant drilling and construction work, even on Sundays and late evenings, exceeding permissible noise limits and causing daily disturbance. The dust generated from these activities contributes to unhealthy air quality (high AQI) and chokes residents' lungs, with concerns that necessary precautions are not being implemented by the developer or enforced by authorities.
So many towers yet to be constructed, that means years of noise and dust pollution for early buyers.
Loud drilling is carried out by Lodha builder at Lodha Amara everyday from Monday to Sunday making it difficult for the existing resident to live. @TMCaTweetAway @ThaneCityPolice pls take immediate action to reduce this daily torture. It has become unbearable now
Constant construction noise. ~44/50 towers are constructed so far. You can choose the ones on the farther side of construction.

Residents experience poor and interrupted internet and mobile services from providers like Jio Fiber and Airtel. This includes frequent outages of mobile, broadband, and fixed-line services, sometimes lasting for hours, leading to frustration and disappointment with the connectivity in the area.
Horrible service and connectivity in our area by Jio fiber. Lodha Amara Kolshet road Thane. We are helpless
This is the 3rd time in last 15 days that Airtel mobile, Broadband & Fixed line, all went totally down at the same time in Lodha Amara, Kolshet, Thane. The last two times, it was down for hours, don’t know when it will be fixed today. How have you gotten so pathetic?

The project has only one parking tower for all its numerous residential towers, leading to significant inconvenience. Residents describe it as a "pain" and a long walk (up to 1km) from the parking to their respective wings, especially during the rainy season. There are also complaints of illegal fines for parking near buildings for more than 15 minutes. This centralized parking system is seen as a major disappointment and a practical issue that many buyers only realize after moving in.
Only one parking tower for all towers.
There is a common parking building which you have to travel like 1km everyday walking to your car. -They'll clamp and charge you illegal fines for parking near your building for more than 15 mins.

The developer has been accused of delaying possession of flats beyond promised dates. In cases of delay, the developer reportedly denies paying equivalent rent as compensation to buyers, exploiting Maharera laws.
Exploitation of Maharera laws on last Building completion, by Builder in Lodha Amara in spite of 60M agreement period over
I recently got the email for the posession of my Lodha Amara in Thane (on Oct,2025) after 2 months of promised date of Jul,2025. Now the delay in possession should be usually be compensated by the equivalent rent by the builder but Lodha is denying to pay the equivalent rent.
