Malabar Hill

[citation needed] An unhindered view of Back Bay, with the Girgaon Chowpatty beach in the foreground, and the Nariman Point skyline in the background is one of the reasons for the high real estate prices.

[citation needed] South Court (informally known as the 'Jinnah House'), the former residence of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan is also present here, but is closed to public due to property disputes.

More than 250 locals from the politically influential and economically affluent Dawoodi Bohra community live in the palatial Saifee Mahal complex near the top of the hill contributing to the ethnic milieu and cultural vibrancy of the area.

Also of note in the Malabar Hill district, there is a cremation ground that sits near the sea which is home to the samadhi shrines of several famous Indian saints.
