Our verdict on Kalamassery

Kalamassery is a good choice for families who want a calm home with a working metro and a university nearby. Prices are fair, land is cheaper than in Kakkanad and the area has a settled, educated feel.

It is not a place for rental income, because rents are low compared with prices. Few homes are listed, so resale can be slow. Buy here to live, or as a long-term hold.
