Calicut, previously known as Kozhikode, has been for ages a very desirable place to settle down in a family. With an interesting mix of old and modern culture, it has a comfortable environment in terms of education, health care and career establishments. The surroundings of the homes are well-stocked with good schools, good hospitals and shopping facilities all linked with well-developed roadways including NH-66 and Mavoor road. 

It has rental priced properties in different localities whose homes can be modest family dwellings to luxurious apartments. A family would have to pay an average of 15,000 and up to 40,000 rupees per month to have a comfortable apartment of 2-3 BHK. In addition to expenses, the lifestyle, the access to education and the infrastructural development of areas are certain points which allow one area to emerge as a distinct preference. 

Among these several household enclaves, Thondayad, Poovangal, Puthiyara, and East Hill are some of the hotspots which are highly family-friendly in Calicut.

Thondayad

Thondayad can be considered as the most noticeable option among the family members who would like to have everything within reach. This locality is well situated at a busy junction that connects to the airport road and other major parts of the city making it a great hub as a place of residence and business. Families residing here do not have a hard time accessing reputable schools such as Chinmaya Vidyalaya, advanced hospitals such as Baby Memorial and shopping malls like Kalyan Mall and RP Mall. As there are many advantages associated with this, rent becomes comparatively high; the 2BHK can be rented at 24,000-28,000 rupees per month and a 3 BHK up to 40,000 rupees per month. Nevertheless, the connectivity and lifestyle contribute to Thondayad being one of the most comfortable places to live as a family.

Poovangal

Poovangal, a budding residential area is among the housing sites near Pantheeramkavu and HiLITE Mall. It has already come to the limelight because of its convenience to the contemporary living amenities and well-known healthcare institutions like Aster MIMS.

Rental prices in the area are quite broadly distributed, with even a basic house or flat costing upwards of 16,000 rupees, and the more luxurious units offering 3 bedroom facilities at (on average) more than 40,000  rupees. Poovangal is an interesting choice among the families that attach great importance to the modern facilities and accessibility even though the prices here are a bit higher.

It is situated in the area adjacent to the facilities of major cities; people are attracted by this property, not being lost in the crowd of a bigger city.
