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.

Per 99acres, Powai Lake is roughly 3-6 km away, R City/Phoenix Marketcity malls about 7 km, the international airport about 10 km, and Bandra Kurla Complex about 12 km.

Square Yards rates education and healthcare access around Vikhroli East at 4.4/5, citing nearby schools including National High School, St. Joseph's High School and Abhay International School, plus a local BMC school.

Wikipedia notes Udayachal High School, run by the Godrej Group since 1955, is also in the area. 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.

Wikipedia notes the Vikhroli railway station was built to serve this Godrej Industries complex, which today also houses IT and business-process offices of companies including Accenture, Atos, Capgemini and WNS alongside Godrej's own manufacturing and real-estate operations, making the locality a mixed industrial-cum-commercial employment hub.

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.

Vikhroli itself has limited dedicated entertainment infrastructure; Square Yards' review of Vikhroli East flags a lack of organised entertainment and shopping zones locally.

Residents rely mainly on nearby hubs: R City Mall in adjoining Ghatkopar (about 7 km away, per 99acres) is a large mall with a multiplex and the KidZania family attraction, while Phoenix Marketcity in Kurla is a similar distance away.

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). 99acres notes the Vikhroli East-West flyover suffers heavy waterlogging in the monsoon, and that an ongoing infrastructure overhaul is expected to support long-term property values.
