Factors to consider when choosing  residential areas in Thrissur

Posted onMar 23, 2024

Looking to buy an apartment in Thrissur? That’s great! As the cultural capital of Kerala and an emerging financial hub, Thrissur has a great deal to offer its residents. From rich heritage to bustling malls, from breathtaking landscapes to peaceful suburbs, the city has it all. It’s one of the best places you can choose to settle down. But where in Thrissur will you buy your flat? How will you decide which are the best residential areas in Thrissur?

We have some simple but effective tips for you. 

Safety

Is the locality safe? That’s the first thing you need to know, especially if you have a family. You may live in a gated community that offers ample safety, but it should be just as safe when your family is just outside, as well. Ask around and read up about the localities you have identified and check how safe they are. You can also scope out the place by walking about and seeing if any unsavoury characters hang out there regularly.

Expenses

Is it very expensive? We all know that within a district or even a city, there are likely to be places which are a lot more expensive than others. The expenses can be in many forms: 

• Cost of the property itself
• Property taxes
• Transportation costs (the further away from work, school, and markets, the more you spend on transportation)
• Education and healthcare - check if you have these facilities that are within your budget

Markets

Do you have to go far away every time something gets over at home? It is important that you are able to buy essentials from nearby shops. Having to go for away is inconvenient, takes up time, and becomes expensive too. The top residential areas in Thrissur have plenty of grocers, vegetable shops, milk centres, and so on.

Access 

Does your home offer easy access to the main road? Being located in a cramped street may not be ideal, especially if you have to commute to work daily. Make sure that even if your apartment is not right on the highway, you have easy access to major roads, so that you don’t get stuck in traffic jams all the time.

Education

Do you have playschools, kindergarten, and schools - at least primary level ones, in proximity to your preferred house? It is always better to send your children somewhere close by when they are little. Older children can commute a slight distance for school, but its not really recommended for the little knees.

Healthcare 

Are primary healthcare facilities nearby - doctors’ clinics or small nursing homes? This is critical. If you have a medical emergency, you must be able to get primary or urgent medical care before you can be moved to a full-fledged hospital.

Recreation

Is there some place your children can enjoy the outdoors? Families with young children must especially consider this factor, especially when you’re living in a flat. It's important for children to spend time outdoors, and play in the fresh air. Also check if facilities like coaching for football, basketball, and other sports are being offered nearby. When not absolutely essential, this is certainly desirable.

Conclusion

Finding the right residential area can make all the difference in your living experience. Remember, that the right area can differ according to individual taste; for example, some people may prefer to live in a crowded are with lots of hub-bub, while others may prefer a peaceful locality, even if everything is not available easily.
