Weekend Getaways from Mumbai: Why More Families Are Choosing Igatpuri

Urban life can be exciting — but it can also be exhausting. Between traffic, noise, and work stress, more families are craving meaningful escapes from Mumbai’s concrete jungle. Enter Igatpuri — a scenic hill town that’s fast becoming the preferred weekend home destination for city dwellers. And with developments like Lakefield Apartments, this escape is now more accessible than ever.

1. Just a Short Drive Away

Igatpuri is only about 120 km from Mumbai, making it a perfect 2.5-hour drive on the Mumbai-Nashik Expressway. Whether you're taking a spontaneous weekend off or planning a family holiday, the smooth highway and scenic route make the journey enjoyable in itself.

2. Natural Beauty + Tranquility

From the towering Sahyadris to shimmering lakes and waterfalls, Igatpuri offers a

visual and emotional detox. The area is blessed with clean air, lush greenery,

and a calm pace of life — a welcome contrast to Mumbai's chaos.

Lakefield Apartments is thoughtfully located in the heart of this beauty, offering stunning views from every apartment. Imagine sipping chai on your balcony with clouds rolling over the hills — it's a lifestyle, not just a weekend.

3. Post-Pandemic Shift to Health & Quality Time

Since the pandemic, families have begun prioritizing well-being, work-life balance, and time together. Many are now using their weekend homes for:

• Remote work or study
  

• Family bonding
  

• Longer stays in nature without needing to travel far

Lakefield Apartments is designed to support this hybrid lifestyle, offering modern amenities like high-speed connectivity, landscaped gardens, and peaceful surroundings — so you can work, relax, or celebrate life on your terms.

4. Rising Popularity of Second Homes in Igatpuri

Real estate demand in Igatpuri has grown over the past 5 years, especially among Mumbai residents looking for quick access and long-term value. Buyers are recognizing the dual benefits:

• A getaway they can enjoy immediately

• An appreciating asset for the future
  
  

Projects like Lakefield are attracting smart buyers with ready-to-move and under-construction units, combining affordability with premium quality.
