Our verdict on Kankanady

Kankanady is a sensible buy if you work in healthcare or want steady rental income. Two teaching hospitals and their students keep homes rented whatever the economy does.

The trade-offs are crowded streets, weak waste collection and no park. Pick a project on higher ground with its own parking and good upkeep. Families wanting quiet, green streets may prefer Kadri or Valencia.

  • You teach, nurse or study at a medical college nearby
  • You want rental income that does not depend on IT jobs
  • You are a Gulf NRI wanting a fairly priced Mangaluru home
  • You want top hospitals within walking distance

Look elsewhere if

  • You need a park or play area for children
  • You dislike traffic and tight parking
  • Safety ratings matter most to you
  • You want many homes to choose from
  • You are looking at a low-lying plot
