The railway station derives its name from the famous Seawoods NRI complex developed by CIDCO especially for high income and economically well to do groups.

The area has developed rapidly in recent years compared to any other nodes in Navi Mumbai due to its strategic location, having Vashi, Mumbai & Thane towards its north and Ulwe, Uran, JNPT & upcoming international airport towards is south and CBD Belapur, Kharghar & Panvel towards its east.

Seawoods is considered to be a subnode and it is located in the southern part of Nerul, near Parsik Hill.

The platforms have disabled-accessible ramps which are connected to the subway on the CSMT end, making the station fully accessible to all people.

The subway on each end is connected to each other and it leads to ticket counter, rickshaw stand, car & bike parking and the Seawoods Grand Central Mall on the west side.
