Locality overview of Race Course Road in Coimbatore
Q: I narrowed down on this place for my next investment because I feel that its prime in its location and also has a lot of good prospects. You guys agree with me on this? What other factors about this locality are to consider before making the investment?
Quite a number of residential projects are already existing here, like Rathna Mount Enclave, Pricol Amber Glow, Daffodils, Aster, Lavender, Marigold, etc. Some upcoming projects have also been launched here, like the White House, Pricol Aurelian Sky, and Deccan Harmony.
I think the social infrastructure of the place should also be considered. There are so many schools here, for example the CSI Matriculation Higher Secondary school, VCV Shishu Vidyalaya HS school, Nirmala Matric HS school, etc. The Thomas Park here is quite a popular spot of greenery where people like to walk or relax.
This place is a jogger's paradise you know, especially the inner ring along the walkers track is a garden space and there are all these miniature replicas of architectural wonders of the world – the Red Fort, the Cellular Jail, the Bahai Temple, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Hawa Mahal and the Eiffel Tower.
The commercial infrastructure is good here. Numbero f supermarkets dot the region, like Nuts n Spices, Pazhamudir Nilayam, aRuna stores, etc. I also think that this is one of the few public spaces in our country that has been put to good adaptive reuse with participation of all stake-holders – pedestrians, local residents, hawkers and transit users.
Quite a number of dining options available around here. There is obviously the On the Go restaurant, then a Subway is there too. Other popular eating joints here are Arabian Fried Chicken, Pasta Bar Veneto, Myx Fine Dining, and even a CCD and a Marrybrown!
I think its solid healthcare facilities also deserve some mention. No way could have this place become what it is now today without the medical contributions of the nearby KG hospital, and the Masonic children's hospital and the medical center for children.
The most important aspect - connecitiy is on the side of this investment avenue. The Avinashi road, which is possibly the most significant connector of the city, passes by very close to the north of the area, and helps bring this place closer to other parts of Coimbatore.
This stretch is located in Gopalapuram, and suddenly Im seeing so many apartment projects being launched here. But there are mostly bungalows around here. There is a central island in which are several huge bungalows. Basically the old race course road envelops this entirely. On the other side, that is the periphery, there are more bungalows.
Ok so basically you're looking at the stretch that surrounds the race course. The course hasnt been used for quite some time now, but this locality is slowly developing as a residential hotspot, maily because of the abundance of greenery, and the cosmopolitan feel of the area
