Q: Hey, I am from Coimbatore and I want to move to Kochi with my family. Is Chacola Colony in Kochi a good residential area to live in with my family and children? What all facilities can I expect there?
I dont think that there are many plots available in this small locality. The locality is mostly saturated. For buying plots, maybe you can find a few residential plots of 5 or 7 cents available here. The price of the plots is around rs. 4500 per square feet to rs. 5700 per square feet.
Oh, that's true. I got to know that the price of the individual houses in the region is also quite normal. In the last quarter of 2014, the rate of the houses was around 13 lakh rupees per cent to 20 lakh rupees per cent.
I came to know about the price of the apartments that are available at a pretty normal rate, if you consider the proximity to the city area. I think that the present market price of the apartments starts from Rs. 3000 square feet to Rs. 4565 square feet here.
Hey, there is actually no worries about the airport connectivity from this locality. The Cochin International Airport which is at Nedumbassery is just around 35 km from here. The public transportation to Airport is also good. But, if you are planning to drive to the airport, I think via the NH47, then you can reach there within 1 hour, according to me.
One of the best advantages of Chacola Colony is its connectivity via the railway and waterways. It is located near to the Kollam-Kottapuram waterway. The Ernakulam Junction railway station which is the major railway station in Kochi is located just 3.5 km away from here.
Hi Satish, How are you? I needed to ask you about the connectivity by flights. I am an NRI and wanted a region at an accessible distance from the airport. Can you guide me through?
I guess that the commercial locality is further blessed with the presence of some leading banks in this area. The HDFC Bank, Union Bank, State Bank of India, Catholic Syrian Bank, Punjab National Bank, Axis Bank, etc. have their branches as well as Atm counters in and near to this area.
I think that this residential locality can be a very good option for you. The Meritage Homes is one good apartment that you can find in this area. There are also some other good apartments that you can find in the nearby area such as the Companion, The Atria Apartments, Panorama Aditya Apartments, etc.
Hey, along with the commercial features, you can also know the entertainment features of this area also. Near to this you can find some interesting malls such as the Baypride Mall, Oberon Mall, Abad Nucleus Mall, Gold Souk Grande, Centre Square etc. Moreover, the Marine Drive and the famous Boat Jetty is also in a reasonable distance only from here.
I have to say that the commercial sector in this locality is very good actually. Near to the Pandit Karuppan Road, you can see a small but developed town here. Some of the good shops or shopping complexes or super markets and showrooms that you can find here include Purple Lifestyle, Fashion Hall, Omega Electronics, Kichus, Shilpa Store etc.
Hey, health infrastructure is very necessary for a residential locality. Here, in the nearby areas itself you can find some renowned hospitals like Saint John's Medical Centre, Medical Trust Hospital, Cochin Hospital, Lakeshore Hospital, Lakshmi Hospital etc.
If you wanna know about some of the neighbouring localities to this region, i can point out a few, for your information. Some of them such as the Kasturba Nagar, Shastri Nagar, kadavanthra, Souhruda nagar, Nethaji Nagar, Perumanoor, etc are some very good residential localities itself.
From Chakola colony, the transportation to various parts of Kochi is very easily possible, you know. The Pandit Karuppan Road passes through this locality and provides connectivity from MG road to even across the Thevara Canal. Other roads such as PK Deevar Road and Chakkalakkal road also passes near to this region.
Yeah...Chakola Colony is quite a good locality for residential purposes and all. If you are planning to settle down here, I think this is a very good option. This area is centrally located within the city limits of Kochi and you can find a prosperous community in this region.
