Kolkata has a variety of economical accommodation options in a variety of categories. So whether one desires a smaller apartment or a house with a rear yard, Kolkata is sure to pamper anyone with a variety of options. Some of the most luxurious apartments one can think of are situated in the center of the city. A person might even choose an apartment in a gated neighborhood that has a playground and a pool. However, Smart City, Rajarhat, is definitely the right destination for someone who would be seeking his or her own space away from the busy crowd and urban turmoil. This collection of high-rise buildings in Kolkata offers the benefit of a gated and guarded community and all the facilities of international standards.

Kolkata is a city of joy and rightly so. People from all walks of life can stay here. It’s not meant for rich but also for relatively poor. Food is pretty delicious and cost effective. If you’ve a voracious appetite, this is the place. However, weather changes pretty frequently. That’s the only drawback.

It is a beautiful place over all. It has its own pros and cons. Let me first tell you about the pros which are:
* Transportation is available 24/7.
* There are a lot of beautiful and fun places, where you can go with family.
* The rent not that much too.

Now the cons:
* The air here is not that great.
* There is a lot of traffic here at time.
* Overall a lot of place are just crowded a lot of time.

While Kolkata is popular for being City of Joy, along with the sweet rasgulla and hand drawn rickshaws it does come with its cons. One of them being crime rate of theft, snatches, eve teasing and rape. With an wish of moving to the city, carefulness should also be nurtured.

The most helpful tip to remember while moving to Kolkata is that it seldom has a dry weather. This results in a person sweating profusely every minute of daily. The good part, though, is that you will forget all about your soaked undershirt while devouring the most delightful street side food you have ever had.

The city is typically affordable to live in when it is compared to other Metropolitan cities in India. It is also extremely growing in its culture. The city is well connected throughout which eases the transport and communication. The city does not have high traffic which is also another added benefit.
