Perumbakkam, Chennai

Perumbakkam sits in South Chennai, just off the OMR–Sholinganallur intersection. The premium homes are located at Perumbakkam, off OMR Sholinganallur intersection, along the Sholinganallur – Medavakkam road, which links to important neighbourhoods including Velachery, Tambaram, Medavakkam and Sholinganallur. This central positioning has made the locality a natural extension of Chennai's IT belt, drawing working professionals who want to stay close to office without paying OMR premiums.

The area carries an interesting historical footnote too — Perumbakkam was the southern end of the baseline measurement for the Great Trigonometrical Survey initiated by Major Lambton in 1802 CE, a survey that laid the foundation for modern topographical maps of India. Historically part of the ancient Chola and Pallava empires, the locality has evolved from a rural settlement into an integral part of Chennai's urban sprawl.

Today, Perumbakkam is best known for its proximity to employment hubs. It is one of the rapidly growing areas in Chennai, with the main advantage being easy access to major IT hubs. It sits roughly 1km from SH-110A, OMR is hardly 7km away, and the locality is about 6km from ELCOT SEZ and Sholinganallur's IT establishments. This has fuelled a steady stream of apartment development on and around Old Mahabalipuram Road.

On the ground, the suburb still retains a village-turned-township feel with a genuine mix of housing types. Perumbakkam is one of the popular localities in Chennai South to buy an apartment, with societies like Ozone Greens, Casagrand Cherry Pick and Urban Tree Oxygen among the most preferred for their livability, quality and location. The presence of a lake, tree-lined internal roads and a lower density than OMR proper gives it a quieter, more residential character while remaining well within reach of the city's commercial energy.
