We are moving to chennai in november...pls advise a good place to live in where I may find other likeminded expats, professionals...i
In terms of preference of living space...do we have gated complexes offering all facilities like gym, pool, shopping within....do you have villas in such complexes?

Which are the more livelier spots in chennai...is it around the centre...Please advise on areas such as egmore, adyar, east coast?

thank you,

Welcome to Chennai!

East Coast has some of the best villas in the city.

Adyar, R.A.Puram, Alwarpet, Poes garden, Anna nagar have very good gated communities and most of them have all the amenities you are looking for but only a few have swimming pool. Since all these places are in center and has access to all kinds from emergencies to bars and clubs to groceries and transportation convenience.

OMR is also another option, which is mostly crowded with young people(software employees)

Same thread, same answer:

Where do you need to be for work?聽 Figure 10min/km for commuting so location is everything.聽 There are nice places all over but you need to be close to the office.

IN Egmore itself you can find residential places to stay. Egmore is close to many places like Marina beach, Mount road, Shopping malls.
Also you can try at Harrington road, Purasawakkam too

Sweet Maddi got it right.聽 Egmore has plenty of nice places.聽 Adayar is nice but the traffic is bad and the commute is a pain.聽 Do not live at Marina Beach.聽 It is not as nice as it sounds and there are no services.

There are some very nice places in Nungambakkam as well, that is very nearby.

Hi,

If you are considering Chennai for long term, I'd suggest you to stay on OMR preferably Thiruvanmiyur. I am here from past 5 years but it is so unfortunate that my office is at DLF IT park which is near to Porur and I can't stay up there.

Moreover the water quality at Thiruvanmiyur is also good.

I am a Chennaian and I am surprised to see someone suggesting Chindatripet, Amabattur,Kolathur and Perambur for an expat to live in. They are supposed to be the least聽 desired places of all. As a few have pointed out Adyar is the best choice safe in all respects.
