July 06,2025

With Chennai rapidly expanding, knowing where to invest in property is more important than ever. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, NRI, or real estate investor, 2025 offers a great window of opportunity if you pick the right location.
In this blog, we reveal the top residential areas in Chennai for property investment based on infrastructure growth, livability, ROI, and upcoming projects.


1. Tambaram – The Gateway to South Chennai

Tambaram is one of the most promising suburbs, thanks to its GST Road access, railway connectivity, and growing infrastructure. It offers a perfect mix of affordability, accessibility, and gated community living.

  • ✅ Strong rental demand
  • ✅ Home to premium projects like LML Skyliving
  • ✅ Close to airport, metro and ORR

Average 2 BHK Price Range: ₹50–₹70 Lakhs Ideal for: End-users & long-term investors

2. Kattupakkam – Porur’s Next Big Neighbour

With Porur reaching saturation, nearby areas like Kattupakkam have become real estate goldmines. Located off Mount Poonamallee Road, it's gaining momentum due to metro expansion and IT corridor spillover.

  • ✅ Affordable gated community flats
  • ✅ Great resale potential in 3–5 years

Average 2 BHK Price Range: ₹45–₹65 Lakhs Ideal for: Budget buyers, IT employees, investors

3. Medavakkam – South Chennai’s Growth Corridor

One of Chennai's fastest-growing zones, Medavakkam is strategically placed between Velachery and Tambaram. With strong infrastructure and residential demand, it's ideal for early-stage investments.

  • ✅ Good for villas & high-rise flats
  • ✅ Strong appreciation rates
  • ✅ Fast metro access expected

4. OMR – Evergreen IT Investment Belt

Old but gold, OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) remains a magnet for investors thanks to its IT dominance. While prices are higher, the appreciation and rental potential are unmatched.

  • ✅ Ideal for premium 2/3 BHK & villa projects
  • ✅ High rental yield (especially around Sholinganallur & Navalur)

We own a 3 BHK lifestyle apartment at Atita, a luxury project by LML Homes at Perungudi. The Apartment is worth every penny and the construction quality is good. The ethical work culture of LML Homes and the timely delivery by the LML Team headed by Mr, Mahesh Kothari has impressed us immensely.

I am so glad to buy a house with LML Raga. I am an Architect who takes a lot of time in minute details before finalizing a house. But, the decision to buy this house with LML Raga was finalized just 2 days after seeing the property. I must appreciate the efficiency of your staff too. Thank you for making this transition seamless. I highly recommend LML Raga.
