Housing in Kadanad consists almost entirely of independent, single-family homes. The architectural landscape is a mix of traditional Kerala-style homes (characterized by sloping terracotta tiled roofs to combat heavy monsoons) and modern, multi-story concrete villas built with modern amenities.
Homeownership rates are exceedingly high, and the rental market is very small, mostly limited to a few commercial spaces or small annexes for migrant laborers from other Indian states who work in the agricultural sector. Affordable housing schemes are facilitated through state government initiatives for lower-income families. Real estate prices are heavily dictated by the agricultural yield potential of the land and road access.
