You can’t even imagine how much the apartments in the largest slums in the world cost!

Among the largest slums in the world, Dharavi in ​​Mumbai occupies a special place. About a million people live here! And this despite the fact that the area does not exceed 215 hectares. Today we will go there to find out the cost of renting or buying an apartment in such a densely populated and poorest area of ​​the Indian metropolis. Do you think the prices will be cheap? Nothing of the kind, thousands of dollars per square!

Housing prices are presented in 2015, but this does not stop reflecting the essence of the situation:

Let's start with this apartment building. Apartment of 25 sq.m. will cost you $ 40,000, in other words, $ 1,600 per sq.m. For rent, you also have to pay a lot - each month at 160 dollars.

Here, a little odnushka larger, with an area of ​​55 sq.m., will cost 136,000 dollars, or 2,470 dollars per sq. The rental amount will also increase - over $ 320 per month.

Even for the smallest one-room apartment of 18 sq.m. in this house you will have to pay $ 80,000, since the cost of 1 sq.m. here is $ 4,400. The monthly rental price will be around 190 dollars.

And how do you like this house? The price tag for odnushka 55 sq.m. here - 136,000 dollars, which means the cost per square meter - 2,470 dollars. Those who really want to live here, but don’t have enough to buy their apartment, can rent for only 190 dollars a month.

By and large, near the center of Mumbai, housing prices fluctuate around 2 150 - 19 350 dollars per square meter.

Even in such a well-worn house, a one-room apartment of 18 squares will cost $ 80,000, $ 4,400 per square meter. And they rent housing here for 190 dollars a month.

However, there are better houses. For example, here in this house you can see odnushka 55 sq.m. It will cost you $ 192,000, a square meter here costs $ 3,490.

If you take the houses newer and not in the slums themselves, but next to them, then here is a great option! A high-rise building with a housing price of $ 4,000 per sq. M. Thus, a one-room apartment of 34 sq.m. will cost $ 136,000. The rent, you guessed it, is also rather big - $ 400 per month.

For obvious extremes, there is a rental option for a 9.3-meter shack of a similar plan for 0.43-0.65 dollars per sq.m. So a corner of 10 square meters can be rented for only $ 5 a month.

In other words, in the huge slums of Dharavi there is a house for every taste and budget. In this nice place you can buy your own one-room apartment of 25 sq.m. will result in $ 51,175, and rent - $ 190 per month.

Here is another house of about the same price range. It has a one-room apartment of 41 sq.m. sold for 112,500 dollars, or 2,740 dollars per sq.m. Rent for a month will be $ 240.

This house is interesting for its inexpensive prices: the cost per square meter here is $ 1,450, which means that buying a one-room apartment of 22 sq.m. it will be possible for only 32,000 dollars. Or rent for $ 160 per month.

Well, let's move on to more serious options. The price tag per square meter in this house is 12,815 dollars, so for a 2-room apartment of 83.5 sq.m. will have to fork out for 1.07 million dollars. The corresponding rental is $ 1,760 per month.

And here we have a new building in the center of Mumbai. In this high-rise building, housing costs $ 6,280 per sq.m. For example, a spacious 3-room apartment with an area of ​​223 squares will cost future residents $ 1.4 million. Rent will be - $ 2,400 per month.

Since we have moved to the city center, we will consider another option. In this new building, a treshka area of ​​232 sq.m. it will cost about 2.8 million dollars, since the price per square meter here is 12,063 dollars.
