Let us know what kind of accomodation you are looking for. Sharing room with bachelors? Living in a hostel? etc?

Sorry..My network connection was down for 2 days..

If things fall in place I'll be ok with an attached single room. Yeah I'm working and
living alone. So Usually how much these cost?

Still would be difficult to answer your question unless you mention the l.o.c.a.t.i.o.n.

But a good place to start with would be *www.indianroommates.in/

Either Andheri (W) or Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai should be comparatively cheaper than Andheri (W). I don't have any idea about that, but I can say something about Andheri (W):

Places like 4 / 7 Bungalow, Lokhandwala are costlier, but other than that, you should be able to find a decent shared acco in Andheri (W) / Oshiwara ranging from 4K to 6K monthly. Head straight to the website I mentioned earlier. There, you won't have to worry about paying agent fees. 2 months worth of rent would go towards deposit amount (refundable).

If you are willing to do a bit of commute, then places like Vile Parle or Andheri (E) - MIDC, J.B. Nagar, Marol, Marol-Maroshi are rental hotspots and comparatively cheaper than Andheri (W).

There is one more site, but I don't remember the name - it is something like zerobrokerage .com or .in. I am unable to open it from here. Give that one a try too.

dont worry about conveyance and traveling, since the local trains will help you reach from Station A to Station B in very efficient manner. Bus service is also one of the best in India :)
