Vikhroli has its own Central Line railway station and sits on the Eastern Express Highway; the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) gives a six-lane link to the Western Express Highway.

Mumbai Metro Line 6 (Pink Line), under construction, is set to terminate at Vikhroli, adding an elevated east-west corridor via Powai and Jogeshwari.

Healthcare options include Godrej Memorial Hospital and Sushrusha Hospital and Maternity Center, along with several smaller nursing homes and dispensaries serving the locality.

Vikhroli's economy centres on the Godrej & Boyce industrial estate at Pirojshanagar, developed by the Godrej family from 1942 as a manufacturing township.

Vikhroli's main point of interest is ecological rather than conventional tourism: the locality borders one of Maharashtra's largest privately managed mangrove forests, maintained by Godrej & Boyce within its Pirojshanagar estate. Hindustan Times reported that a study found these mangroves store around 6 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, underlining their conservation significance.

Beyond this green belt, Vikhroli has few dedicated tourist attractions, functioning mainly as a residential-industrial suburb.

Residents rely mainly on nearby hubs: R City Mall in adjoining Ghatkopar.

Vikhroli sits on the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR), a 10.6 km six-lane arterial widened under the World Bank-funded Mumbai Urban Transport Project, linking the Eastern and Western Express Highways. Mumbai Metro Line 6 (Pink Line) is under construction with its eastern terminus at Vikhroli.

The locality falls under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC/MCGM).
