Properties in Egmore

Do you want to live in the old heart of Chennai rather than on its edges? Egmore is one of those places where the city's history is still visible from the street. One of Chennai's two main railway terminals anchors the neighbourhood, with the Government Museum and colonial-era public buildings around it. People searching for apartments in Egmore usually value a central address and quick rail access over space or new townships. Families have lived in this quarter for generations, so the streets feel settled rather than new.

The listing here is RWD Corniche by RWD (Ramky Wavoo Developers), a completed apartment project. It has 127 homes on 1.3 acres, with 2 BHK, 3 BHK and 4 BHK layouts. Handover began in March 2021, so you can inspect a finished home before deciding. Prices start at about Rs. 1.87 Crore, the upper band of the Chennai market. A built project also lets you judge the association, the upkeep and the neighbours, which a brochure cannot show.

Getting around is the reason to pay a premium here. The railway terminal puts long-distance and suburban trains within easy reach, and the central position shortens most trips across the city. Walk the route from the building to the station and to your office at the time you would travel. In a dense area, how your car enters and leaves the building matters as much as the distance.

Central neighbourhoods like this one have almost no open land left. New homes come from redevelopment of older plots, so supply stays thin and resale choice can be limited. Check the approved plan and the occupancy certificate for any building you consider. Look up the project on the TNRERA portal. Ask how many parking spaces come with the home and whether visitors can park at all. Check water supply and the age of the local drainage, since older areas can struggle during heavy rain. Compare the maintenance charge with what similar finished buildings nearby collect.
