Properties in Kundrathur

Work in the western IT offices or the Sriperumbudur factories, but a budget that does not stretch to Porur? Kundrathur lies between the two, at the south-western fringe of the city. The town is known for its hill temple, and homes cost well below Porur. That makes it worth a look for a first home or a long-term hold. For buyers looking at Kundrathur Chennai property, the attraction is access to both job belts at a lower price. The town is still filling in along its main roads.

The listings mix apartments and plotted land. Casagrand Massimo is under construction on 7.9 acres with 2, 3 and 4 BHK homes, listed from about Rs. 42 Lakhs, quoting 2028. CasaGrand Highclere is another ongoing apartment project on 3.08 acres with 2 and 3 BHK homes, with no price listed yet. If you are after plots in Kundrathur, Sobha Evergreens is a completed plotted layout on 10.06 acres, listed from about Rs. 45 Lakhs, with possession from January 2018.

Getting around is shaped by the two employment areas on either side. Porur and the western IT offices lie in one direction, and the Sriperumbudur manufacturing belt in the other. Test the drive to your own workplace at peak hour, since a fringe town often depends on one or two main roads.

Weigh the trade-offs carefully. Growth is still concentrated along the main roads, so shops, schools and clinics may be a drive away from some projects. For the apartment projects, look up the registration on the TNRERA portal and compare the committed completion date with the brochure. For a plot, check the layout approval, the title history and whether the land is approved for residential use. Ask whether water comes from a piped supply, borewell or tanker, and how wide the approach road is. In a completed layout, find out who maintains the roads and drains now.

For comparison, look at Porur, which is closer to the offices and a useful benchmark on price.
