Ernakulam is located in the Ernakulam district in the heart of Kerala. It is known as the commercial capital of the state, and is a very active town with regard to economic activities and tourism. With its close proximity to serene backwaters and various health resorts in Kerala, Ernakulam has become a major pit stop for tourists heading to Kerala. This has caused many hotels and homestays to spring up all across Ernakulam.

Being close to a major Indian port like Kochi helped in the development of Ernakulam. The tarred roads and flyovers are signs that the city is growing at a steady pace. With the Kochi metro line scheduled to be up and running by 2017, the real estate prices in Ernakulam will see a rise in the coming years.
