Yes Pranab, also this is a very good locality in Chennai City. Just 1minutes to Villivakkam Railway Station & 5 minutes to Villivakkam bus stand. It is very near to Anna Nagar, ICF and Kolathur. We may get all benefits of Anna Nagar with incomparable prices. Famous Agastheeswarar Temple and Dhamodara Perumal Temple are available in this locality.
