The fish market and local shops make daily shopping super convenient. But traffic gets hectic during peak hours, especially near the market area.

Good schools, bakeries, and grocery stores all close by, which is perfect for families. But parking can be a hassle in some busy streets.

Affordable rental homes and good schools nearby make Kolathur ideal for middle-class families. But don’t expect fancy restaurants or nightlife options here.

Living here has been nice. The temples and parks create a community feel. Some of the roads are narrow but that's still okay.

Kolathur has a great mix of long-time residents and newcomers. It feels very rooted. That said, the noise from early morning vendors can be loud.
