Colonies and Community living of the past bring a great sense of nostalgia. Planned celebrations, children playing together, walkable distance to school, shops, entertainment and recreation facilities was community life in its truest sense. Some believe that these sentiments are a thing of the past. We think otherwise. Integrated developments today offer you a chance to recreate a strong community life with today’s needs and requirements in mind.

The idea behind such developments is the same as townships of the past - a mini urban ecosystem that is able to meet almost all of your social and lifestyle goals without you having to go too far away from home.

We illustrate this best as we craft homes with this need in mind. Consider life at Elysian located in Oberoi Garden City, Goregaon. The driving philosophy and inspiration was to build a ‘city within a city’. After all, life should be lived beyond the four walls of our homes. Elysian reflects this line of thought making it a reality.

Oberoi Garden City is spread over 80 acres of expansive greenery, quiet surroundings and beautiful views. And the plethora of amenities address nearly every aspect of your lifestyle needs. Within Oberoi Garden City is the much loved Oberoi Mall - a leading retail destination, the reputed Oberoi International School, The Westin Mumbai Garden City and premium office spaces in Commerz I, II and III. Your self-contained home places you close to Mumbai's arterial road, the Western Express Highway, and in close proximity to the suburban train stations and the upcoming Metro line. So, should you want to step out, connectivity is seamless.

Imagine large, open spaces outside your home. We think of these as breathing spaces - places that give you room to slow down, enjoy the small pleasures of life , know your neighbours and then strike up a conversation in an unhurried style. Consider all of the other shared amenities where you can meet up (or make) friends at the gym, tennis and squash courts, the swimming pool, yoga/meditation room and more. You can rest easy knowing that your children are enjoying their playtime in safe environs and have large open spaces and sports facilities to learn and hone their favourite sport.

The open-air Amphitheatre is a great place to organise entertainment and get together as a community to cheer and celebrate. The multipurpose hall and party lawns are great for celebrations of all kinds - weddings, birthdays, national holidays and festivals. Dedicated areas for senior citizens help them socialise with their peers and keep them active, healthy and happy.

With most of your essential requirements in the range of 0-2 km away from you, Elysian at Oberoi Garden City is a perfect embodiment of living in an integrated development. It is living proof that community living of the past can be upgraded and elevated to meet the standards of modern families. It shows you how lifelong bonds can still be formed in our fast-paced city by building the right environment with three all-important elements - space, safety and people.
