Kunnumpuram, Kochi

Kunnumpuram sits in Edappally North, one of Kochi's most connected residential pockets. Residents rate the neighbourhood highly, and Kunnumpuram is rated 4, out of 5 by its residents, and the locality is known for Good Public Transport. This mix of everyday convenience and easy commuting has made it a steady choice for families and working professionals alike.

The locality's biggest draw is proximity to Kochi's retail and healthcare anchors. A property listing at Kunnumpuram Junction, Edappally North, Kochi is just 2.1 km to Lulu Mall. Local listings for homes in the area also point out that the location is nearly 1km to Lulu Mall, Amrita Hospital, and Amrita College of Arts & Sciences, with schools, colleges, hospitals, supermarkets, hotels and restaurants all nearby. Few residential pockets in Kochi offer this density of daily-use infrastructure within walking or short driving distance.

Kunnumpuram is also gaining recognition as an infrastructure hotspot. On the upcoming Kochi Metro Phase II corridor, the station once known as Kunnumpuram is now officially named Padamughal, part of a line that will run from JLN Stadium to Infopark via Kakkanad, covering stations including Chembumukku, Vazhakkala, Padamughal (formerly Kunnumpuram), Kakkanad Junction, Cochin SEZ, Chittethukara, KINFRA and InfoPark-1/Smart City-1 and InfoPark-2/Smart City-2. This puts Kunnumpuram directly on Kochi's next big transit corridor.

The wider Kochi growth story backs this up. The state has seen infrastructure works worth ₹1.16 lakh crore through KIIFB over the past 10 years, while Kochi Infopark's Phase 3 is planned with 20 mn sq ft of IT space and 5000 residential units. With this scale of investment flowing into the Kakkanad-Edappally belt, Kunnumpuram is well placed to benefit from rising job creation and housing demand in the years ahead.
