Vashi
Vashi (Marathi: वाशी) is an upmarket residential as well as commercial township in the city of Navi Mumbai. It is a premier city in Navi Mumbai and was one of the first "nodes" developed by CIDCO.
Populace
Vashi's reputation of being organized, but not too large or crowded like "the big city", has led to the continued growth of its resident and commuter population. Vashi is among the top ten most developed zones in the Mumbai Metropolitan area.The estimate population of Vashi is around 400,000.
Climate
Being in close proximity to the Thane creek, Vashi is mostly humid and hot in summer and mildly pleasant during the winter months of November December, and January. Western Ghats run in parallel along the east of the town, resulting in relative heavier shower than Mumbai. Before the 2009 rains, NMMC states that all the pre-monsoonal work has been done but still here and there, potholes lie.

Geography Vashi is bordered by the Sion-Panvel Highway (plus the railway station) and Nerul to the south, the Thane-Belapur Road and Sanpada/Turbhe to the east, Khairane Channel and Kopar khairane to the north, and Thane creek to the west. It is one of two Navi Mumbai nodes that directly connect to Mumbai across Thane creek (via the Mankhurd-Vashi Bridge), the other being Airoli to the north. The township center, arguably, would be Shivaji Chowk, a central square located on the Vashi-Turbhe road. It is the site of a large bronze statue of the Maratha warrior-king and folk hero Chhatrapati Shivaji on a horse, and of an upcoming museum exhibit about him. The chowk is surrounded by Sector 17, the cineplex, the fire station and the bus depot.
Roads
Being a planned township, Vashi features many roads that intersect at right angles. Road maintenance is carried out by the NMMC. Roads in the township often get damaged by the monsoons, as potholes are simply patched up with mud that washes away with the next rainfall.
Telecom
Communication has never been a problem in Vashi and almost all parts of Navi Mumbai as the City grew along with the rapid development of telecom sector in India as well as Greater Mumbai. the city has almost all the major telecom players of India naming a few ( Vodafone, Airtel, Loop Mobile, MTNL, Tata Indicom, Reliance Communications, Idea, Aircel, Virgin Mobile) Broadband and IT enabled services are available across the Node, helping in the economic development of the area making it one of the favourite destinations for IT Companies
