Know before you buy

Work on the Pallavaram to Thoraipakkam Radial Road is causing traffic and drainage problems for many homes.

Homes within 2 to 3 km of the runway hear aircraft noise.
Some pockets flood during the monsoon.
It is a dense, mid-budget area, not a quiet luxury neighbourhood.
Our verdict on Pallavaram
Pallavaram is a strong value pick for people who fly often or work near the airport, MEPZ, Guindy or the south IT parks. Prices have doubled in 10 years and rents are among the best in South Chennai.
The catches are real: road works, peak-hour traffic, airport noise in some pockets and a metro that is still years away. Choose a project away from the runway and the radial road works, and buy to hold for 3 to 7 years.
