[edit] History
In 1980s Sanpada had fields and lakes, plenty of open spaces; fishermen carrying their days catch from the lakes and the creek could been seen warily walking back to their homes, there were bugs and beetles and marshy soil everywhere with tall grass on the dry land.
Sanpada had problems in past like the exhaust from the herdillia chemical plant, the black dust from the rock mine explosions, the concrete from the new building being developed, the pollution from the highway, shortage of water, the constant power cuts, robberies, to name a few. Now many things have changed.
[edit] Location
Apartments are being sold rapidly, fueled by the real estate market boom. The population has exploded dramatically during the past 5 years and the property rates have reached the sky. What used to be a quiet suburb has changed into a bustling residential area with chaotic roads, an overflowing local trains, with acute shortage of open space. Sanpada was initially a landlocked area surrounded with a highway on one sides and railway lines on the other two sides, but brand Sanpada worked so well that the area bang opposite the Juinagar station is being called Sanpada in a hope to catch-on a little bit of the Sanpada sheen. Sanpada has expanded considerably with new building projects springing up every other day. In fact Sanpada is becoming the next ideal residential hub with malls and major immunities really close by. Its actually isolated from noise and hassle of a commercial area.
Sanpada has been divided into sectors based of the size of the flats hence socio-economically dividing the demography. Paradise Society, Millennium towers are among the well know housing societies of Sanpada. The park in sector-7 is being used by, Sanpadians for playing cricket matches occasionally but mostly serves are joggers park for many.
[edit] Business
Baskin&Robbins has opened one of their Ice-Cream parlour , which is located at sector -7 Moraj Residency. It has a mini digital theater with two screens (Funsquare), a monginese pastry shop, a sweetmeat shop for snacks (Badhaii), a mini vegetable market, a mini store for grocery(foodland), couple of driving schools(maruti, pravasi, tanvi), auto mechanics, Novelty stores, etc.
[edit] Transportation
Sanpada has less Bus transportation inside the residential area, but it does have a good railway network connecting CST, Thane and Panvel.
