Kesavadasapuram takes its name from Raja Kesavadas, the Travancore Dewan, and is best known today as a road junction. The MC Road to central Kerala starts here, while other roads lead to Pattom on one side and to Ulloor and Medical College on another. That position makes it a natural base for people whose week takes them in different directions: a student at Mar Ivanios, a nurse at Medical College and an office worker in Pattom can all live here comfortably. Away from the junction, the neighbourhood is residential, with a good spread of shops and eateries.
Why choose a PG in Kesavadasapuram?
- Three directions from one junction: Pattom and Palayam, Ulloor and Medical College, or Nalanchira along MC Road.
- A practical choice for Mar Ivanios College students, since the campus is a short ride up MC Road.
- Rents are usually a notch below Pattom while being only a short ride from it.
- Long-distance KSRTC buses on MC Road stop here too, useful for weekend trips home.
