More families are choosing to live in Kathu, Koh Kaew, Phuket Town and Chalong as access to schools, healthcare and everyday amenities becomes a stronger priority for long term relocation. These areas form Phuket’s most practical living corridor, offering central connectivity and a stable year round lifestyle for residents with school aged children.
International schools drive steady housing demand
Kathu and Koh Kaew sit at the heart of Phuket’s education zone, with several international schools and sports facilities located within short driving distance. Parents value reduced commuting times and proximity to after school activities, helping these neighbourhoods attract working families planning multi year stays.
Phuket Town and Chalong also benefit from their closeness to educational hubs, including bilingual schools, training centres and youth sports venues. Consistency and convenience are becoming key decision factors, especially as the number of full time residents continues to grow.
Everyday services shape residential choices
Reliable access to supermarkets, medical clinics, fitness centres and government services has reinforced demand across this central and southern corridor. These districts provide practical daily living options that are less reliant on tourism seasons, supporting long term stability in the housing market.
Modern mid range developments remain popular due to their mix of affordability and community infrastructure, while established neighbourhoods continue to appeal to residents seeking familiarity and routine.
Year round living continues to rise
Phuket’s growing status as a relocation destination has shifted buying priorities away from short stay convenience toward sustainable family lifestyles. The ability to access essential services quickly remains a key advantage for Kathu, Koh Kaew, Phuket Town and Chalong as the island’s population expands.
