Ratings & Reviews of Behala, Kolkata

Positives: For decades, Behala has been my home. It still has that unique, bright South Kolkata allure. Major arteries such Diamond Harbour Road and the Taratala Flyover help us to be very networked nowadays. Notably, the forthcoming stations Behala Bazar and Behala Chowrasta will transform the ongoing Joka-Esplanade Metro Line. Good medical facilities nearby as well as amazing educational institutions like Behala High School exist. Nearby Behala Purono Bazaar market. And the proximity to green spaces like Rabindra Sarobar is lovely.

Negatives: Diamond Harbour Road's enormous traffic congestion, nevertheless, is an everyday irritation. The lack of appropriate garbage disposal in some side lanes calls for prompt improvement for improved public health.

I bought my flat in Behala because this area really stands out with its mix of heritage elegance and contemporary amenities. Markets like Behala Bazaar and malls along Dr K D Mukherjee Road keep everything within reach, while the closeness to bus/auto routes and Arterial Diamond Harbour Road makes commuting much simpler. Neighborhood institutions and schools help me to feel somewhat more at ease. Though still relatively inexpensive, the region is appreciating constantly. The community feel and the mature residential areas with tree-lined streets appeal most to me. I think little details could be better, includes the metro route still misses essential interior areas, and parking in certain ancient buildings is constricted. Still, I strongly advise Behala to anyone seeking for a good spot to settle down.

Positives: I was amazed by the distinctive character of Behala, a southwest Kolkata suburb, when I moved there several months ago. Through Diamond Harbour Road, it is well linked and has arterial connections like James Long Sarani. The future metro extension from Joka to Majerhat will help to make travel easier. Schools and hospitals such Behala High School and Vidyasagar State General Hospital are close by, along with marketplaces like the bustling Behala New Market and Puratan Bazaar. Compared to central city sprawl, living here feels green and secure; rent is also far more reasonable.

Negatives: Still, I believe certain streets close to older structures are still narrow and congested, and even though metro connections exist it does not adequately serve many internal areas. All in all, I would recommend this spot.
