Thane housing

Hey Mumbaikars, I'm relocating to Mumbai this December. I wanted to understand the housing scenario there. I'm looking for a budget, 1 or 2 bhk to be shared by 2 to 3 people. It should have min amenities like a fridge and a washing machine. It's better if it's in a gated society. Max budget for total rent for the flat/apartment is 12k to 15k. Need your advice on if I should get my place near the office for a slightly higher price or should I go for a cheaper place slightly far from the office. My office is in Chirak Nagar, Thane.
