Where there is demand, there is development. With a huge demand for residential areas in Chennai, places throughout the city have been sited with new projects. Among all the favored locations, the areas in the southern part of Chennai are seeing tremendous development. Localities such as Medavakkam and Pallikaranai are in the top of the list of targeted places.

He says," If you see the center of activities, south Chennai hogs all the limelight today. This will continue to do so, as the scope for growth in the region is immense." He also added, "Just 10 years back, Tambaram was considered as the end of Chennai but now thanks to the extensive transport facilities and numerous educational institutions, the region is one of the busiest areas of the city. With the introduction of metro, the real estate scene of South Chennai will undergo rapid evolution."

In the current year, about 60% of the residential constructions have taken place in south Chennai while the remaining was split between north and west. The Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road and Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) have seen the maximum growth in the current year. Huge construction companies such as Akshaya and Purvankara launched their new projects in Pallavaram, Perumbakkam and Kelambakkam. With the city’s limit being extended farther, vicinities in south are more concentrated than the heart of the city. Just as the central and north parts are being crowded, it is only natural that the residential growth will be concentrated on the less dense southern parts of Chennai.

The growth of IT companies and industries is one of the prime reasons for this rapid and steady advancement. Blooming companies in Velachery, Madipakkam and other areas encouraged working professionals to settle down nearby. Entertainment and recreational amenities such as malls, theaters, clubs and resorts located nearby, allow families to spend time together on weekends. Presence of renowned hospitals, restaurants, banks and other essentials are added advantage. Furthermore, availability of excellent schools and colleges nearby make these areas suitable for families. Rich cultural activities with presence of famous temples, churches and mosques also make a strong case.

Excellent connectivity via roadways and railways provide an easy and smooth connection with the city’s interior. High frequency of buses, trains and recently added metro trains allow you to navigate through places with great ease. Peaceful environment and friendly neighborhood make them the much preferred localities real estate in Chennai.

Affordability even with high facilities in par with main city makes south Chennai a favorite among everyone.

Top reasons to buy a property in Delhi now!



Delhi’s property market has woken up from its slumber. Though this was inevitable, many had given up hope on the real estate of Delhi, especially with mounting unsold properties and unfinished projects in and around the city. The government had worked very hard and implemented a lot of projects that would supplement the property growth spurt in localities like Noida, Gurgaon and Faridabad. The efforts have finally paid off and here are a few reasons as to why you must buy a property in Delhi before it is too late!
One of the major hurdles the realty market of Delhi faces is to sell off the already accumulated property. Either the prices had to be slashed or the existing amenities had to be improved to makes prospective property buyers consider shelling out cash for the properties. The second option worked and this is how:
1

  1.  The Delhi Metro has redefined the term called connectivity in the capital city! You no longer have to find residence in the same locality as you work. Sectors in Dwarka are now completely linked to one another! Noida is well connected to NCR too! The next proposed stage of the metro will connect Noida’s city center with the Greater Noida region making property market boom further! The Violet line will aid to Faridabad by connecting up to YMCA Chowk!
  2. Delhi government made all the right moves in conjunction with the Central Government. The Swachch Bharat Movement started off a chain clean Green moments which lead to a lot of green spaces in the city! 
  3.  The Supreme Court stepped in at the right time by settling the long standing dispute of Farmer’s Land Acquisition issues. The investors who bought land from the farmers will now breathe in peace and develop stunning projects soon enough!
  4.  New sectors are well-planned with perfectly sorted our ergonomics and wide roads. The green belt around sectors helps a lot too in improving the living standards of the locality. Given the extremities faced by the region of Delhi, climate-wise, it has been a smart thing to do.
  5. Property prices in NCR are on the higher side but a few areas do have cheap offerings. A smart researcher will be able to find an affordable apartment in some place like Sector 16 of Greater Noida or Ahinsa Khand 1 of Ghaziabad.
  6. Arterial roads and highways like the NH 24 greatly has shortened distances and enhanced connectivity. Ahinsa Khand, Crossing Republik, Noida sectors 62, 63, 57, 58 and 59 all have seen price hikes because of this one highway! NH8 in the same way does the same to Gurgaon! undli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway is the sole reason for Neharpur to come in the map of property buyers from Delhi and Gurgaon
  7. Civic infrastructure is improving beyond comparison in most of the localities that are experiencing growth in property in Delhi. Complementing the same is that the cost of living is comparatively lesser in localities like Faridabad when compared to NCR regions.
