Properties in Nungambakkam

Few buyers stumble into Nungambakkam by chance; it is a deliberate choice for a central Chennai address. People looking for apartments in Nungambakkam want its leafy streets, consulates, colleges and upscale shopping close by. Some of the city's well-known restaurants and hotels are here too. It ranks among the most wanted addresses in the city, and prices are near the top of the market.

Empty land is almost non-existent, so new homes come from replacing older buildings. That makes projects small and exclusive rather than large gated campuses. Radiance Maraikayar Manor, by Radiance Realty, is an example. It holds just 8 homes on about an acre, all 3 BHK ultra premium flats. The project is finished, with possession from 2021, and the listed start price is about Rs. 3.67 Cr. With so few units, a flat here rarely comes up, so availability matters as much as price.

Living centrally shortens many trips. Shops, dining and colleges are within the neighbourhood, and much of the city is a short drive away. Central roads do get crowded, though, so time the drive to your office at the busy hour. If you have children, check the distance to the school you prefer before booking. Parking on busy central streets can be tight, so see how visitors will park too.

Scarcity is the main trade-off. You pay a high rate per square foot, and a small building offers fewer shared facilities than a large township. Ask whether the site replaced an older structure, and trace the title back through each owner. Confirm the TNRERA registration and the completion certificate. In a building with only a handful of owners, maintenance costs are split among few people, so ask what they are. Check parking allotment, lift backup and how water is supplied.

Compare the rate per square foot with other central addresses, and ask us for the floor plan and the current price before you visit.
